Bryant wins one last time in Boston
He reminded them all they needed to do was go home and win two games. “I grew up a really big historian of the game”, Bryant said. Bryant finished with a team-high 20 points in the Lakers 108-98 loss and said that he was moved by the cheers from the crowd.
Coach Butch Jones was excited about his team’s performance following the win.

So far this season, Marchand has been the Bruins leading scorer with 26 points (15 goals and 11 assists in 34 games). Needless to say, Montreal fans have to be pretty happy with how the New Year’s Day event started for their team.
The win is Tennessee’s seventh in its last eight games. “I have learned a valuable lesson in the last week, and I look forward to showing National Football League personnel that this is not representative of my true character”, said Nkemdiche, who announced he will enter the National Football League draft, where he likely will be a top-10 pick. Prediction: Tennessee 24, Northwestern 17. The Vols finished Jones’ third season at 9-4 and poised for a big 2016 campaign.

The game started off fast as David Desharnais got a quick goal past Tuukka Rast off of a face off 1:14 into the first period. Eyewitness News spoke with several fans who said they are rooting for the Bruins during the big game on New Year’s Day.
The Wildcats have an opportunity to win 11 games for the first time thanks to separate five-game winning streaks that landed Pat Fitzgerald’s team second in the Big Ten West behind. “You’ve just got to have a short memory, you’ve got to learn from the experiences, and you can’t duplicate it”.
It was after the Iowa game when Fitzgerald challenged his team, hoping to get a positive response from the seniors. Dobbs threw for 2,125 yards this season with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions.
Evan Berry punctuated the rout with a 100-yard interception return with eight seconds to play.
There was nothing cheap about Tennessee’s scores.
“We needed to be more consistent”, Thorson said. He’s caught 52 passes for 1,077 yards and 10 touchdowns and averages almost 21 yards per catch. Tennessee faces Northwestern in the Outback Bowl on Friday. Linebacker Darrin Kirkland, Jr., was named to the All-SEC Freshman Team following a 60-tackle effort in his first year, good for 5.0 stops per game to rank 49th in the SEC.
“This football team defines resolve”, Jones said. “Our athletic training staff worked around the clock with him”. Northwestern has allowed 99 total rushing yards to quarterbacks this season.
Tennessee finished the regular season ranked 52nd in total offense and really depends on the play of quarterback Joshua Dobbs to determine the amount of success on offense. Tennessee responded on the next drive with an 11-yard touchdown run by Alvin Kamara. The 6-4, 275-pound Ogbah is a disruptive player on the Cowboys’ defensive line and is the NCAA’s active career leader in sacks with 28.
“I don’t think anything changed, ” said offensive tackle Kyler Kerbyson. He has not yet played in a football game for the Buckeyes.
Even busted plays worked. Later in the same drive, UT QB Joshua Dobbs dropped a shot gun snap, picked it up and zipped around the right end while tip-toeing down the sideline and lunging for an 18-yard TD to give Tennessee a 31-6 lead with 11:42 to go in the game. Two plays later, Hurd crashed in up the middle for a 3-yard touchdown to make it 24-6.
Malik Foreman’s interception brought on the Vols’ offense at the Northwestern 22. Then Tennessee went on the march. Aaron Medley added a field goal early in the second to give the Volunteers a 10-0 lead. The Vols limited Northwestern to just 261 total yards.
This is Tennessee’s 33rd January Bowl game and second in a row.

In the opening half, both teams struggled with focus- the Vols missed a field goal, committed several personal foul penalties on defense, and struggled to move the ball consistently. I can’t see Northwestern getting blown out.
