What college football bowl games are there today? New Orleans Bowl Match

The slow start to the college football bowl season continues Thursday with just a single bid in the Big Easy. Admittedly, it won’t draw nearly as much attention as another contest in the Crescent City in a few weeks, but it will mark the postseason debut for one of the Football Bowl Subdivision’s newest additions.

Yes, we know that other pigskin leagues have a game tonight and we are still waiting for the main event on the university side. But at least you don’t need a streaming device for this. Here’s a quick look at the participants in the college version.

New Orleans Bowl – Georgia Southern vs. Sam Houston State

Time/TV/Location: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN2, New Orleans.

Why watch: It should be an exciting time for Sam Houston State as it heads to the program’s first bowl game after moving from the Football Championship Subdivision. Unfortunately, success comes at a price, as coach KC Keeler moves to Temple and a number of players leave. In contrast, the Eagles appear to have retained most of their regular roster into the postseason. QB JC French, RB Jalen White and WR Derwin Burgess Jr. could all put up big numbers against the Bearkats’ weakened defense. Luckily for Sam Houston, dual-threat QB Hunter Watson is still there, and his presence could keep the competition going.
