Boston College is set to face USC in the Emerald Bowl on December 26th in San Francisco, Ca.
About the upcoming match up bowl director Gary Cavalli says, “We could not be happier with this matchup. In USC, we have one of the great brands in college football and a program that is almost always in the national championship hunt. In Boston College, we have one of the nation’s premier academic institutions and an overachieving team that overcame a lot of adversity this season.”
Both teams finished with an 8-4 record, although each team has a different perspective on their record. After reaching a BCS bowl for the past 7 years this is seen as a disappointment for the Trojans. “We’re disappointed with the way we played the last half of this season, so the Emerald Bowl gives us a chance to finish the year on a positive note,” coach Pete Carroll said. “We’ll work hard to send our seniors out in the fashion they deserve. And it’ll give our younger players some extra practice time that will pay off in the future.”
Boston College is looking to upset the Trojans who are suffering from a very disappointing last half of the season.
