Thanks. That's all was hoping for. It woudl've been nice to beat BSU at home, but my QB was so inconsistant this year that made it hard to do..

BOISE STATE GETS THE SHAFT

With the loss of #2 Virginia Tech and #3 Oklahoma, that left only 2 undefeated teams in the nation. #1 Ohio State and #4 Boise State. Most assumed that we would finally see a National Championship game featuring David and Goliath. Instead the BCS Committee picks #7 Florida State who moves up to #2 in the Media Poll and #3 in the Coaches Poll to play the #1 Buckeyes.

Boise State finishes the year #2 in the Coaches and #3 in the Media even though they got 17 1st place votes compared to FSU zero votes and both had the same .992 point totals in the BCS Poll. Boise State will be left to play in the Rose Bowl vs #10 Oregon, in a rematch of their Week 1 game which saw the Broncos win 42-23.

The Hokies dropped from #2 to #7 after the ACC Championship game loss, well TCU moves up from #9 to #5 after the win over Oklahoma in the Big 12 Title game. Oklahoma dropped to #8 after the loss.

Michigan #4, Wisconsin #6, Nebraska #9, and Oregon #10 Round out the Top-10

MEAN GREEN TO PLAY IN THE POINSETTIA BOWL

The Poinsettia Bowl is guarenteed the 2nd place team from the MWC. With Boise State's #3 finish and a Rose Bowl berth, the Las Vegas Bowl who is normally gets the MWC Champ, instead was left to take Arizona to play against Washington, leaving the #3 team North Texas the berth. With no conference ties to the opponent, the Poinsettia Bowl committee was left to offer at large bids to eligible teams. After being turned down by several teams, the committee was forced to select (6-6) Temple who finished in 8th place in the MAC.


Coach Dodge "Of course I am disappointed that we are not taking on a bigger named opponent. Rumors over the last several weeks had us going to Las Vegas to play USC. A win over the Trojans would've have been huge in terms of recruiting. All we can hope for now is that we can win this game and finish the season on a high note. It's been alot of years since North Texas has had a bowl win."

JAMAL JACKSON BREAKS ANOTHER SCHOOL RECORD

Jackson broke the single game yards record in Week 1, but then set a new high in Week 11 with 318 yds in the win over Nevada. Also in that game Jackson broke the season yards record as he finished the regular season with 1817 yds. Jackson also has a outside chance at 2 more school records 13 TD's in a season (he has 11) and 113 rec in a season (he has 109).

(Jackson finished 3rd in the Biletnikoff voting. L. Hankerson (Miami) won, well D. Sanzenbacker finished 2nd)

LANCE DUNBAR NEEDS 23 AND 30

Lance Dunbar needs 23 yds rushing and 30 yds recieving to finish the season with 1000 yds rushing and 500 recieving. The JR also had a combined 18 TD's (13 Rush/5 Rec)

(Dunbar finished 5th in the Walker Award. R. Williams (VT) won with 2000 total yds of offense and 25 TD's.)

UNT GETS 3 MWC 1ST TEAM ALL-AMERICAN BIDS

Joining Jackson and Dunbar on the MWC All-American 1st team ballot was SR DT S. Anderson. Anderson had 25 Tackles (12 TFL) 2 sacks and 3 Forced Fumbles.


(JR DE B Akpunku, SR ROLB C Robertson and SR SS I. Smith were named to the 2nd team)

(8-4) vs (6-6)

GAME PREVIEW

Don't let the (6-6) record fool you. The Temple Owls are a good football team. After a 9-4 record last year and a loss in the EagleBank Bowl to UCLA (31-20), the Owls are ready to claim their first Bowl win.

The man who everyone will be watching is RB B. Pierce who as a Freshman was named MAC FOY rushing for 1361 yds and school record 16 TD's. Injuires have plagued Pierce this year as he has carried the ball only 80 times for 405 yds, but he is ready to show the nation what they have been missing.

North Texas is just happy to be back in a bowl and are a looking to end their season on a high note having won 3 straight, however they would face a challenge as it was announced that Riley Dodge their starting QB would miss his 5th game of the year this time with a broken hand. SO D. Thompson will start in his place.

Coach Dodge "I don't know what to say. Riley is injury prone. This marks his 6th injury in just 3 years. I have talked to him and his mom, and we are going to evaluate moving him back to WR in order to keep him upright and out of the doctors office"




GAME RECAP

Both teams would struggle to score in the 1st Quarter, as North Texas is dealt another huge blow when QB D. Thompson is forced from the game (leg injury). Thompson would leave after completing 5/6 passes for 37 yds. Enter SR N. Tune.

Tune would start the 2nd Quarter by throwing a "Pick 6" as Temple gets on the scoreboard (7-0) Tune would redeem himself throwing a 20 yd TD pass to A. Lott with 54 seconds in the half to tie the game (7-7)

In the 2nd half it was the N. Tune show. Tune would throw 3 more TD's (23 yds-J. Jackson, 8 yds-A. Fitzgerald, 8 yds-L. Dunbar) and D. Cook would return his own "Pick 6" 42 yds for a TD as the Mean Green rolled over on the Temple Owls on their way to their 9th win of the season and their first Bowl win since 2002.

FINAL SCORE UNT-35 TEMPLE-10


KEY PLAYERS

QB N. Tune 18/32 227 yds 4 TD's 1 INT
RB L. Dunbar 19 carries 72 yds, 3 rec 24 yds 1 TD
WR J. Jackson 6 rec 117 yds 1 TD


RB B. Pierce 28 carries 125 yds

POST GAME INTERVIEW

Coach Dodge "I am excited for my players, the fans, the University and mostly for my brother. This team was his players, the offense was for the most part his offense and I was just here to facilitate it to make sure that they did what they were suppose to do. This win is for you Bro!!!"

BCS BOWL RECAP


NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

#1 -34 #2 -31

"Ohio State would score with 1:33 left to pull ahead. Just like in the ACC Championship and Big 12 Championship. It was the backup QB winning the game for their team. T. Pryor left with a injury causing backup J. Bauserman to come in. Bauserman would complete 6/9 passes for 81 yds and 2 TD's both in the 4th Q"




#23 Cincinnati-51 #5 TCU-46

"Just like in the Big 12 Championship game, A. Dalton would be forced to leave with a injury only this time backup QB C. Pachall can't get it done. Pachall did throw a TD with 1:40 to play to cut it within 5 but the onside kick failed and Cincinnati ran out the clock"



#6 Virginia Tech-49 #4 Michigan-24

"R. Williams ran 17 times for 207 yds and 3 TD's, Denard Robinson was 32/48 337 yds 3 TDs but also threw 3 INT's. Robinson also ran 19 times for just 51 yds (2.6 avg)"



#8 Oklahoma-27 #10 Alabama-17

"L. Jones threw for 416 yds 3 TD and 1 INT in the win. D Murray had 192 total yards in offense (21 carries/8 Rec) with 2 TD's. Mark Ingram ran 17 times for 71 yds and a 2 TD's, but G. McElroy finished with just 150 yds on 16/29 attempts.



#3 Boise State-41 #10 Oregon-27

"Boise dominated the rematch early going up 24-3 at the half as K. Moore throws 3 TD's. Oregon would make a late push scoring 17 points in the 4th Quarter. Moore finished 27/47 479 yds 3 TD's and 2 INT. A. Pettis had 12 rec for 285 yds 2 TD's. L. James finised with just 88 yds on 24 carries

HEISMAN WINNER

After leading the Boise State Broncos to a perfect 13-0 record including their Rose bowl victory. QB Kellen Moore was named the 2010 Heisman Award winner. Moore threw for 4521 yds completing 313/451 passes. He threw 48 TD's and had just 6 Int's.


K. Moore "I am proud to expect this award, however I rather be standing up here holding a National Championship trophey. I believe our team could beat Ohio State and it disappoints me that we didn't get a chance."


Ohio State's T. Pryor finished 2nd in the voting, followed by Michigan's D. Robinson, FSU, Q. Ponder and Virginia Tech RB R. Williams.
