The Connecticut Huskies and the Marshall Thundering Herd will be the breakfast viewing for many football fans post Christmas as they square off in this late morning showdown at the St. Petersburg Bowl. The Huskies (6-6) are making their first bowl appearance in four years, while Marshall (9-3) is appearing in their third straight bowl game.
It was a bit of a surprising year for the Huskies and Bob Diaco as they were able to find their way into the postseason.
