The Stormy Monday Bowl (St. Petersburg Bowl) Pick

There is only one Bowl Game slotted for this Monday. I went 2-2 in the first day, so let's pick this one!

Beef O'Bradys St. Petersburg Bowl
December 23, 2:00 PM
Tampa, Florida
Tropicana Field

East Carolina vs. Ohio

The pick: East Carolina 45 Ohio 31

The storyline for the Ohio Bobcats coming into this game is that this will be the last game for Seniors Tyler Tettleton (QB) and Beau Blankenship (RB). These two played very well for the Bobcats over the course of their collegiate career, as both played at the same high school in Norman, OK. They have done a very good job making this team relevant.

This being said, East Carolina Quarterback Shane Carden has played very well for the Pirates this season, topping a lot of national passing statistical categories. Carden won't be the man the Bobcats need to worry about today, though. That man is Senior Running Back Vintavious Cooper, who is finishing off a great career for the Pirates. The Ohio Bobcats have struggled against tough running teams this season, and today will be no different.

Be sure to check back Wednesday for the next "full" installment of Bowl Picks!
