The Solid Verbal: Mario Cristobal, awards season, and our big fat bowl preview (part 1!)
And don’t worry, we’ve got PLENTY of bowl gifts for you.
***
On the latest episode of The Solid Verbal, we jump around the college football universe and hit on the following subjects and questions:
• Historically speaking, just how good was Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield’s (obviously) Heisman-winning season?
• How was the 2017 Piesman Trophy ceremony?
• Was this the MOST Army-Navy game in recent memory?
• Should Troy’s red/green zone defense be enough to handle an impressive passing attack from QB Mason Fine and his North Texas Mean Green in the New Orleans Bowl?
• Is there reason to believe Oregon’s immediate transition to new head coach Mario Cristobal, paired with healthy starting QB Justin Herbert, will pay quick dividends in the Las Vegas Bowl vs. a rolling Boise State?
• Can Marshall’s defense (at a crazy altitude in Albuquerque) keep up with Colorado State’s altitude-tested (and awesome) offense in the New Mexico Bowl?
• Can electric WR Ty Lee help Middle Tennessee score enough to keep up with QB Justice Hansen and his impressive Arkansas State offense in the Camelia Bowl?
• Does Akron have a shot in a true road game vs Lane Kiffin’s FAU Owls in the Boca Raton Bowl?
• Do we see an inconsistent Louisiana Tech being able to get it together to hang with SMU’s big offense (minus the now former Mustang coach Chad Morris)?
... and much more!
