Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl

Third game of the day, bowl quest is already feeling like a too long trip to the buffet. At least Brent Musberger is calling this game.

Not feeling much like writing this post after Michigan State lost to Texas Southern in maybe the college hoops upset of the year.  Just awful, something green may burn to exorcise the demons.

Oh yeah, the game.

Utah vs. Colorado State

Good match-up on paper.  This game gives a chance for Florida fans to see what kind of offense they may be getting as Colorado State head coach Jim McElwain is the new Gators coach.

Unfortunately, Gator fans won't be too happy with what they may have seen on defense.  Utah hit one big play after another in the first quarter.  Both teams put up four touchdowns in less than 10 minutes from the start of the game.  Utah had this one in the bag from the get-go. The Utes just ran it down the Rams throat and they had no answer.

Interim Colorado State coach Dave Baldwin may have lost the chance to earn the head coaching job for the beat down his Rams took.

I caught most of the first half and went back to the New Mexico Bowl during the half time and then started on the Potato Bowl, checking back on this beat down.

Utah 45  Colorado State 10

Notes

-Yeesh, thought this would be a really competitive game.  Utah was only a two point favorite. The Rams could never recover from the big shots the Utes laid on them early.

-What did I eat:  Peanuts and Snyders of Hanover jalapeno pretzel bits.  Small bowl.

-No, Royal Purple is not a Vegas strip club, it's an automotive fuel additive line of products.

-I went to check on some Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl merch.  I guess they weren't too worried about it.  Still a message from 2013 and this pic. Sadly, Washington didn't play in the 2013 game.  Las Vegas bowl needs some help running their website.

-My pick:  I took Utah, so 3-0 so far.  On to the blue turf in Boise for the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
