Washington State beats Miami 20-14 in snowy Sun Bowl

You get through the dialog, what are you going to do, leave everyone hanging? Pac-12 schools have won the last two Sun Bowls (Arizona State and UCLA). Kaaya completed at least 60% of his passes in five of his last six games.

Emergency officials blamed the severe weather for injuring scores of others and destroying dozens of cars, homes and businesses. Bobby Watkins and his wife huddled beneath their old oak dining table for shelter as storm winds roaring outside their MS home.

Coach Al Golden was sacked during the season, following a 58-0 loss to the nation’s top ranked team, Clemson. The former SEC staffer has begun hiring assistant coaches which doesn’t assist in inspiring the current coaches working for the players in this seasons bowl affair, today’s Sun Bowl.

The Houston Rockets had their best defensive performance of the season in a victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night. Pierce scored 12 points in the season opener and hadn’t reached that mark again until erupting for 20 points Saturday in Utah.

Miami went 4-1 down the stretch to finish third in the ACC Coastal Division and qualify for a bowl.


Severe weather continues in the south
But Perkins – who survived the storm hunkered down inside a closet with her husband – said she was happy just to be alive. It’s part of the same cell that warranted an earlier tornado warning in Tuscaloosa County, southwest of the Jefferson.

“The ball slipped out of his hands”, Scott said. “He does a great job of getting the ball out and taking what the defense gives him”, Scott said. It started with a tour of the Close Combat Tactical Training Center, where the players got the chance to get up close and personal with military vehicles like Abrams tanks and Bradley vehicles.

Given one more chance to win the game with a touchdown, CT moved 16 yards to its own 41 before Bryant Shirreffs’ 4th-and-9 toss to Hergy Mayala fell incomplete with 21 seconds remaining.

Kaaya was 17 of 30 for 219 yards with one interception.

Moving to the victor’s side, per Jessamyn McIntyre of ESPN 710, Leach said things were “sloppy on both sides, but says the Cougs played gritty”. “I thought we allowed the weather to affect us on offense more than it should have, but like I said, the defense just had our back”.

The Hurricanes are led by sophomore quarterback Brad Kaaya, who has thrown a touchdown in nine of the 11 games he’s played in 2015.

Added Scott: “One of the things we really needed to be able to overcome is that when things don’t quite go your way, in the way you planned and the way you trained for them to go, there comes a point where you still have to make a decision of how much this truly means to you….”

Washington State isn’t the only team that throws. He has passed such notables as Bernie Kosar and Vinny Testaverde on Miami’s all-time list. The defense played all out, keeping them in the game. If Miami does not put points on the board this one will be over fast. The Hurricanes are tied for No. 5 in the nation in turnover margin at plus-13. Hes as talented as anybody in our conference.”The Sun Bowl has been played in a snowstorm a few times through its long history. Showers are expected during the day, with the moisture turning to snow Saturday night. An avalanche of penalties, drops, head-scratching decisions and more penalties buried Miami, not the heavy snow. The ball was picked up by Cougars cornerback Marcellus Pippins inside Washington State’s 4-yard line.

Washington State QB Luke Falk vs. the Miami secondary. Falk averages 388 passing yards a game.

Spread: Washington State is favored by 3 points. Carter was extremely productive in his role as the team’s third safety, often playing in the box and racking up tackles. It was a play that worked in practice, but the University of Miami does not practice in a wintry climate. Gabe Marks paced the Washington State receiving corps with 99 catches for 1,125 yards and 14 scores while Dom Williams caught 73 pass for nearly a 1,000 yards and eleven TD’s. Miami is 108th in red-zone scoring percentage defense.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Washington State’s last 5 games.
