Atten.Results Head Coaches Bowl MVPs
The inaugural game featured USF from the BIG EAST and Memphis from Conference USA. USF QB Matt Grothe, who earned the game’s Most Outstanding Player award, threw for three touch-downs and rushed for 83 yards on 15 carries to lead USF to a 41-14 win. USF scored on four of its first five possessions to build a 24-14 halftime lead on its way to scoring more than 40 points for the fourth time in 2008. The Tigers entered the contest averaging more than 200 yards via their ground game, but the Bulls had the nation’s ninth-best rushing defense and it showed. USF held Memphis to only 66 yards on 30 carries, and Tiger running back Curtis Steele, a 1,000-yard rusher, gained most of those with 48 yards on 12 rushes.
Rutgers and UCF lined up against each other for the first-time ever in the second edition of the Bowl. The Scarlet Knights tied their season-best for points scored with a 45-24 win over UCF. Rutgers’ Mohamed Sanu, the game's Most Outstanding Player, accounted for three of the team’s five touchdowns. Sanu caught four passes for 97 yards and a touchdown and rushed 14 times for 47 yards and two touchdowns. The Scarlett Knights three other touch-downs came on a 65-yard pass reception by Tim Brown, an interception return by Billy Anderson and kickoff return by Damaso Munoz on an attempted onside kick by UCF. Rutgers defense held UCF’s offense in check recording a bowl record six sacks.
The 2010 game between the Louisville Cardinals from the BIG EAST and Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles from Conference USA was a thriller to the end and captured the highest television ratings (2.6) in the short history of the bowl, up more than 20 percent from the previous year. The game featured numerous highlights including a one-handed touchdown grab by USM QB Austin Davis on a trick play, a 62-yard touchdown run by USM’s Desmond Johnson and a 96-yard kickoff return by Louisville’s Jeremy Wright, plus many bone-jarring hard hits. The Cardinals prevailed 31-28 on a fourth quarter field goal by Chris Philpott, capping a successful turnaround season under first-year head coach Charlie Strong.
The fourth installment of the game pitted the Marshall Thundering Herd of Conference USA against the FIU Panthers of the Sun Belt Conference. Two key plays, one by special teams and another by the defense, late in the fourth quarter propelled Marshall to a 20-10 win. With the score tied at 10-10, Marshall's Zach Dunston blocked a punt that led to a 39-yard field goal by Tyler Warner with 5:16 remaining in the game. On the ensuing drive, Marshall's Omar Brown forced a fumble on FIU star WR T.Y. Hilton on what would've been a successful 3rd down conversion that would've put the Panthers near midfield with 4:24 on the clock. Marshall's offense ran the clock down to :38 seconds left when it had a 4th and 5. Marshall took a timeout and came out with a surprise pass by QB Rakeem Cato to WR Aaron Dobson that connected for a 35-yard TD. The win by Marshall was the first by a Conference USA team at the Bowl. Dobson earned the Marshall MVP game honors with touchdown receptions of 35 and 31 yards. Hilton, who scored FIU's only touchdown, was voted as the Panthers game MVP.
