College Football Bowl Game Results : Marshall vs. Ohio, Pittsburgh vs. North Carolina, USC vs. Boston College

Marshall upset Ohio 21-17 as the Bobcats managed a mere 123 yards total offense against the Thundering Herd, as Ohio averaged a paltry 2.4 yards per play, which is beyond anything acceptable in college football. Give the coaching staff a failing grade in that one.

Pittsburgh beat North Carolina 19-17 in a fairly even game as Dion Lewis ran for 159 yards on 28 carries, but defense decided the game between two head coaches who are said to be the best of personal friends and play similar types of defense-oriented football.

USC beat Boston College 24-13 after leading only 14-13 at the half, holding the Eagles scoreless after halftime. Trojan QB Matt Barkley completed 27 of 37 passes for 350 yards, 12 to Damian Williams for 189 yards and 6 to Stanley Havili for 83 yards and 2 TDs. On the whole, however, Southern Cal was not anywhere near to being like USC teams of preceding seasons, as most of the real talent has gone to the NFL. Our NCAA I FBS bowl record is now 5-4 in predicting the winner and 5-4 against the spread.
