1. Chuba Hubbard
While there are more than three reasons to watch this game, Oklahoma State running back Chuba Hubbard is No. 1. It wasn’t completely known if Hubbard was going to play in the bowl game, but it was recently announced that he will be playing. However, as of writing this article, the running back has yet to make his decision if he will be coming back to school or entering the NFL draft.
Hubbard has been one of the most exciting players to watch in all of college football this year. He led the entire FBS in rushing yards with 1,936 yards and tacked on 183 yards receiving as well. Hubbard found the end zone often as he had 21 rushing touchdowns as well. Hubbard had four games with over 200 yards rushing and had at least 100 yards rushing in every game except one.
The one game that he didn’t rush for over 100 yards was against FCS opponent McNeese State in a game they won 56-14 so the wisely rested Hubbard.
He had 309 rush attempts this year so his body has taken quite the beating as his team has relied on him time and time again. This could be his last game to play in college football so you will not want to miss this match up against the Aggies defense.
If he decides to come back, another big game for Hubbard will only help the Cowboys as the go into the offseason. Regardless what he decides to do, we can expect another big game from Hubbard.
