Wisconsin's year old running back we are legally required to tell you he's only 17 Braelon Allen led the way for the Badgers offense, rushing for yards on 29 carries. Wisconsin's passing attack was nonexistent for the most part, and Jake Ferguson led the team with three catches for 33 yards despite missing most of the game due to an injury. Jayden Daniels did everything he could to keep the Sun Devils in the game, but his one-man show was one of many to fail in Las Vegas.

Still, he threw for yards and rushed for 40, accounting for of the yards the Sun Devils finished with. Michigan State used a point fourth quarter to come back from a deficit and beat Pitt in the Peach Bowl. The Panthers began the game without star quarterback Kenny Pickett and were quickly reduced to their third-string QB when backup Nick Patti injured his shoulder in the first quarter. Michigan State overcame some shaky play of its own on offense as it was without star running back Kenneth Walker III, but the Spartans got things together just in time.

Michigan State finishes the season , which is the most wins it's had in a season since going in Pitt finishes the season at , its most wins since Even with the loss, it's hard to argue that any season that includes an ACC title is anything but a rousing success for the Panthers.

A wild Music City Bowl ended Thursday with Purdue winning a thriller over Tennessee, thanks in part to a controversial overtime officiating decision. Mitchell Fineran won it for the Boilermakers on a yard field goal after the Volunteers failed to score in overtime. However, there was debate over whether Tennessee running back Jaylen Wright scored or was stopped short of the goal-line on a fourth-down attempt during the Volunteers' possession in overtime.

The ruling on the field was that Wright was stopped short. However, a video review appeared to show that he was never down and reached the ball over the goal-line while on top of a Purdue defender.

Tennessee was denied a TD after this play was ruled a turnover on downs: pic. But after a review, the officiating crew upheld the call on the field, which gave the Boilermakers the football needing only a field goal to win it. Fineran's make then brought an end to a game that featured nearly 1, yards of total offense between the two teams. It was the highest scoring Music City Bowl ever due to a frenetic finish to regulation.

The teams combined for 28 points in a span of less than three and a half minutes late in the fourth quarter. Tennessee kicker Chase McGrath came up short on a potential game-winning yard field goal attempt as time expired, and the controversial overtime period ensued.

With the win, Purdue finishes the season , while Tennessee finished In some ways, the loss for the Volunteers mirrored their loss to Ole Miss in October when Tennessee fans littered the field with trash amid displeasure with the officiating.

The Volunteers were penalized a whopping 15 times for yards in the Music City Bowl, which only served to heighten the frustration with the overtime spot for a pro-Tennessee crowd at the game in Nashville, Tennessee. South Carolina was a double-digit underdog by kickoff, but the Gamecocks got off to a roaring start with two splash-play touchdowns and start to the game. South Carolina used two quarterbacks as both Dakereon Joyner and Zeb Noland had success running an offense that leaned on the ground game once the Gamecocks established their advantage in the game.

North Carolina's inability to stop the run proved to be the fatal flaw in their performance, as South Carolina rolled up rushing yards on 51 attempts and only punted twice across nine offensive possessions. The win is absolutely massive for Shane Beamer as an emphatic finish to a first year on the job that had already exceeded preseason expectations. Beating Auburn, Florida and making it to the postseason was plenty to celebrate, but adding a dominant win against a border war rival in front of plenty of fans and alumni in the Charlotte area is a great way to head into the offseason.

Oklahoma scored 24 unanswered points in the second quarter of the Alamo Bowl to blast the Ducks in a matchup that was not as close as the final score.

The Sooners held a lead at the half behind four combined touchdowns from quarterback Caleb Williams and running back Kennedy Brooks. The dynamic backfield finished with six TDs on the day. But perhaps the best moment of the evening came when Drake Stoops, son of legendary and, for this game, interim coach Bob Stoops, caught a touchdown pass from Williams. Oregon running back Travis Dye had a strong day with yards and quarterback Anthony Brown added yards, but too much of their production came after the game was decided in the second half.

Brooks rushed for yards, while Williams had yards passing on just 27 attempts. The victory gives Stoops his 10th bowl victory and a career winning bowl record.

The Sooners have won back-to-back bowl games for the first time since Down by one score in the final minute of the fourth quarter, Iowa State was driving with a chance to tie the game. Unfortunately, the Cyclones had one heartbreak left. Quarterback Brock Purdy ran for a first down on a fourth-and-2, but fumbled the ball back behind the first down marker to turn it over on downs and suffer a Cheez-It Bowl loss to No.

The perfect ending to an absurd Cheez It Bowl. Brock Purdy gets the first down on 4th and 2 then fumbles backwards behind the first down line. What a game. What a bowl pic. Clemson running back Will Shipley posted total yards and a touchdown to lead the Tigers and kicker B. Potter nailed field goals of 51 and 23 yards.

Cornerback Mario Goodrich added a defensive touchdown with an yard pick-six off a twice-batted Purdy pass. The loss finished off one of the most painful seasons imaginable for Iowa State.

Five of the losses came by one score and were decided on the final possession. Conversely, Clemson captured its 11th consecutive win season, the third-longest streak in college football history behind Nick Saban's Alabama and Bobby Bowden's Florida State.

Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa tied the program's single-season passing touchdown record and broke the yardage record, as the Terrapins handed Virginia Tech its worst bowl loss in program history.

The Terrapins dominated every phase of the game as Maryland captured its first winning record since and first bowl victory since Ralph Friedgen retired in Tarheeb Still returned a punt 92 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter to get things going, and Greg Rose recovered a fumble and returned it for a score.

Three different rushers reached the end zone for Maryland. Virginia Tech quarterback Connor Blumrick played the first meaningful snaps of his career against the Terrapins, throwing for yards and rushing for a score. However, Virginia Tech compiled just yards of total offense to reach its third losing season in four years, the first time the Hokies have fallen to that mark since Former Penn State defensive coordinator Brent Pry takes over the program in Minnesota's defense suffocated West Virginia as the Gophers rolled in a two-score victory over the Mountaineers.

WVU mustered just 51 yards rushing and total yards against the physical Minnesota defense as the Gophers dominated the game in the trenches. Freshman running backs Ky Thomas and Mar'Keise Irving each easily cleared yards rushing as part of a yard day for Minnesota on the ground. West Virginia quarterback Jarret Doege posted just yards passing and an interception as WVU was held scoreless in the second half.

Minnesota is now over the past three seasons under head coach P. When the dust settled, it was Red Raiders interim coach and former QB Sonny Cumbie -- who is heading to Louisiana Tech as head coach -- who emerged victorious over his former coach Mike Leach to lead Tech to its first winning season since Tech quarterback Donovan Smith threw for yards and added two total touchdowns after entering the year as the third-string quarterback.

Haaziq Daniels threw for yards and two touchdowns -- both of which were to senior Brandon Lewis -- to lead the Falcons to their second bowl win in three seasons.

Those passing yards are just shy of the passing yards that the Falcons had during the entire month of October four games.

Cougars quarterback Clayton Tune found Jake Herslow for yard touchdown with to play to give Dana Holgorsen's crew a hard-fought win over Auburn in the Birmingham Bowl.

The loss means this Tigers team will finish the season at -- the first sub-. The game-defining touchdown came after a prolonged Cougars scoring drought that started midway through the first quarter after they took a lead. The game puts to bed a disappointing first season for Auburn coach Bryan Harsin. His team lost its last five games, including a four-overtime loss to Alabama and a blown lead at home against Mississippi State. Needless to say, pressure will be on the former Boise State coach going into the season.

Western Michigan won its second-ever bowl game as a program in its home state, jumping all over Nevada early and cruising to a win in the Quick Lane Bowl. Nevada did enjoy the element of surprise in the early stages of the game thanks to the overwhelming number of absences from the team that got the Wolf Pack to this game. Head coach Jay Norvell left to take the job at Colorado State, and with multiple coordinators also departing for other jobs, this was a skeleton staff on the sideline leading a team that was down nearly 20 players because of injuries, transfers and opt-outs.

FBS Football. Bennett is in his career against Alabama. Alabama has produced as many professional defensive backs as any football program in the nation, Saban played defensive back in college and the foundation of his greatness is coaching up secondaries. If not, the Crimson Tide plus the points is the play either way. Both head coaches have made their bones coaching defense and I could see the bright lights of the title game suppressing the scoring in this contest.
