2010 Meineke Car Care Bowl Game Preview:
While you're prone to see fireworks in the air on New Year's Eve, don't look to Charlotte and the Meineke Car Care Bowl for any on the field. That's because the Big East's South Florida Bulls and ACC's Clemson Tigers have two of the best defenses in the country, and will look to make one last stand in 2010.
USF's Top-20 defensive unit ranked 19th in point allowed, which saved it from the early season offensive woes that plagued first-year coach Skip Holtz. Signal-caller BJ Daniels' year progressed as the year went along, but quad troubles opened the door for walk-on back-up Bobby Eveld to cause a minor quarterback controversy going in to the Clemson clash. With an offensive that's less than efficient, it might look to Eveld for a boost against a defense that boasts the country's leading sack-master.
Da'Quan Bowers might be the shining star in a game that promises to be a defensive battle. Clemson's defensive end is a finalist for the Bednarik, Hendricks and Lombardi Awards, as well as the Nagurski Trophy. A slight Bulls offensive line might not be enough to take him down, and in a contest that might be decided by who makes the fewest turnovers, Bowers could be the difference in the game that looks to have plenty of amazing hits, but few points.
2009 Meineke Car Care Bowl Game Preview:
The 2009 Meineke Car Care Bowl will be played in Charlotte, North Carolina on December 26th. The 2009 Meineke Bowl will match the Pittsburgh Panthers against the North Carolina Tarheels. Pitt is led by Head Coach Dave Wannstedt and UNC's head coach is Butch Davis. The '09 Meineke Bowl should be a great game because it features two great teams.
2008 Meineke Car Care Bowl Game Preview:
The 2008 Meineke Car Care Bowl is going to be a solid postseason college football game. The North Carolina Tar Heels will take on the West Virginia Mountaineers to make this an unforgettable postseason fight. Last year’s game between Wake Forest and Connecticut was an excellent game, as both teams exchanged leads during the game. In order to make this a game to remember, you need to get out the Bank of America Stadium for the Meineke Car Care Bowl!
