Miami Beach Bowl Marlins Park Toledo
Miami, FL Tulsa

BEST GAME: Toledo v. Tulsa

Given that this is the only game, the showdown at Marlins Park between the Rockets and the Golden Hurricane is the best thing you’ll have going on this Monday evening of Christmas week. Tulsa was a surprise runner-up in the tough AAC West, while Toledo finished behind only Western Michigan in the MAC West.

PLAYER TO WATCH: Logan Woodside (QB/Toledo)

Logan Woodside ranked second nationally in passing efficiency, throwing for over 300 yards per game. The Rockets junior threw more touchdown passes than any other quarterback in the country, finishing with 43 passing touchdowns and just nine interceptions. Woodside has thrown at least three TD passes in every game this season, and look for him to do so again against a Golden Hurricane team giving up 31.5 points per outing.
