Bowl season began Saturday with a five-bowl slate and every bowl game — from the Celebration Bowl to the College Football Championship Game on Jan. 9 — will feature some connection to Oklahoma. Here is a rundown on some of those connections among the teams not based in Oklahoma:
Dec. 19
Boca Raton Bowl: Akron vs. Florida Atlantic, 6 p.m., ESPN
Akron: Redshirt sophomore quarterback Nick Johns transferred from NEO before the season and played in eight games, completing one of his two passes.
Florida Atlantic: Freshman quarterback transferred from Oklahoma just before the season.
