The Military Bowl has not been kind to college football’s service academy teams. Four years after Navy dropped the inaugural Military Bowl to Wake Forest, Air Force’s efforts came up just short against Toledo. Air Force’s two-point conversion attempt with under a minute to play failed to catch Toledo off-guard, and ultimately cost the Falcons the game as […]

Jarrett Lee was good but not great through the Tigers first eight games, […]
In a bowl game between 7-5 teams going down in Shreveport, La., on the day after Christmas, the outcome usually hinges on who cares. In Monday night’s Independence Bowl match-up, the North Carolina Tar Heels played like they had spent the weeks leading up to the game perfecting their Arkham City skills. The Missouri Tigers […]
