Welcome to the second weekend of the Bowl season. Today’s slate features four games that should all be competitive, and, if offense is your thing, there’s probably not a better day for shootouts.
Here’s your schedule in Eastern time, why-to-watch, and our picks — we’re off to a good start so far!
Birmingham Bowl
Noon (ESPN)
Wake Forest +3 (6-6) vs. Memphis (8-5)
Memphis got hot midway through the season, and even played in the AACCG. But, as is their wont, after getting another huge lead on UCF, the defense collapsed. That has been a common theme for the Tigers this year: they can light it up but get smoked on the defensive side of the ball.
