Yesterday in Sports: 12/27/14

Hey guys, sorry for my lack of posting lately, hopefully it won't happen again.

Yesterday in College Football there were five bowls. The Military Bowl featured Cincinnati and Virginia Tech. The first half was close as VT was winning 13-10 when it concluded, however VT outscored Cincinnati by 13 points in the second half to take the win, 33-17. This is Tech's first bowl win since 2012.

In the Sun Bowl Duke took on Arizona State. At the end of the first half Jamison Crowder of Duke returned a punt for 68 yards which made the score 20-17 ASU going into the half. Duke would fall short in the end, despite a strong fourth quarter. The final score was 36-31. This is ASU's third Sun Bowl win.

The Independence Bowl was a good one, as Miami and South Carolina battled it out. Pharoh Cooper of South Carolina had 170 of South Carolina's 284 receiving yards in the game. Although SC was outscored by 8 in the second half they still won 24-21 due to their dominant first half. This marks SC's fourth straight year with a bowl win.

In the 5th annual Pinstripe bowl Penn State took on Boston College. BC, at one point up 21-7 kicked a field goal to go ahead 24-21 with about two minutes left, then PSU marched down the field and tied the game with 20 seconds left. In OT BC scored a TD on their first possession but then missed the PAT. PSU then scored a TD and made the PAT, giving them a 31-30 win.This was PSU's firts bowl game since the 2011 season due to sanctions, and first bowl win since the 2009 season.
