College Bowl Season Continues with Trio of Games on Boxing Day
In an effort to clarify any confusion, it’s important to note that despite the name, Boxing Day will not feature any actual boxing matches. Instead, football fans can look forward to a trio of college bowl games set to take place on Tuesday.
The college bowl season is in full swing, with three games scheduled for Boxing Day, all set to be aired on the four-letter network (ESPN).
The matchups for the day include representatives from six different conferences, with none of them being champions, but one team having been a finalist in their conference.
The first game of the day features the Falcons and the Golden Gophers. The Falcons will be looking to avenge their loss in the same bowl game last year, while the Golden Gophers aim to end their season on a high note after a challenging November.
Following that, Texas State and Rice will face off in the second game of the day, with Texas State coming in as a high-scoring team and Rice led by their quarterback A.J. Padgett, who has stepped up in the absence of the team’s starting QB.
The final game of the day will see UNLV take on Kansas in what promises to be an exciting match-up. Both teams have shown significant progress this season, with UNLV’s QB Jayden Maiava and WR Ricky White leading the charge, while Kansas boasts standout RB Devin Neal.
With the college bowl season in full swing, fans can expect to see some exciting matchups and thrilling football action on Boxing Day. So remember, while there may not be any boxing matches on the schedule, football fans can still look forward to some high-stakes college bowl games.
