The Buffalo Bulls take on the Charlotte 49ers in the 2019 Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl. Here are three players to watch.

This is how you kick off bowl season. If you are coming home from work, or still at the office you can put this in a corner caption on the computer and watch what should be an entertaining game between the Buffalo Bulls and the Charlotte 49ers in the Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl.

What a treat for these young men. Not only do they experience a bowl game, but they get to experience the Bahamas as well. What coach wouldn’t want to end their season in the warmth of the Caribbean?

Both the 49ers and the Bulls have done a fantastic job to get here. Charlotte head coach Will Healy is a rising star as a head coach, and he has guided the 49ers to their first bowl in their short football history. After starting the season 2-5, the Niners got to Nassau by ending the season on a five-game winning streak.

The Bulls got back to a bowl despite losing 17 seniors from last season’s squad including last year’s leading receiver Anthony Johnson. The Bulls also lost quarterback Tyree Jackson early to the NFL and second-leading receiver K.J. Osborn transferred to Miami.

Games like these are fun because there are players that break out and have great games. Who will it be in this one? Here are three players to watch out for.
