2010 Meineke Car Care Bowl Predictions
Posted 12/7/2010
The South Florida Bulls will take on the Clemson Tigers in the Meineke Car Care Bowl on December 31 at noon at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.
The Clemson Tigers, despite struggling through much of the season, managed to end up in a decent bowl game thanks to the incredible support of the program receivers. The game is close to Death Valley and Clemson travels well, so attendance should be high.
South Florida moved on from their controversial offseason surrounding the firing of their former coach to have a solid season. There is still hope that the program one day reaches the same heights as Florida, Florida State and Miami.
To get to that point, or anywhere close to it, winning a bowl game against a quality ACC opponent would at least be a solid start.
The Tigers are certainly beatable because they do not have consistent play at the quarterback position. Neither team puts up a lot of points, so expect a low-scoring affair.
Prediction: Clemson 17, South Florida 13
