NEVADA 17 vs SOUTHERN MISS 24

2011 Hawaii Bowl Winner - High-flying Eagles win Hawaii Bowl

Austin Davis made the plays when it counted to send Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles coach Larry Fedora out a winner.

Davis threw two touchdowns and No. 22 Southern Mississippi earned a school-record 12th victory by holding off the Nevada Wolf Pack 24-17 in the Hawaii Bowl on Saturday.

Davis overcame a shaky game for the Conference USA-champion Golden Eagles ( 12-2 ) and the defence in the second half managed to shut down Nevada's potent pistol attack led by Lampford Mark.

On the winning drive, Davis was three-of-four for 66 yards, including a 43-yard completion to Dominique Sullivan down the right sideline and a 19-yard pass to a crossing William Spight. Sullivan had five catches for 75 yards.

Nevada Wolf Pack ( 7-5 ) will have to be more consistent than their year has been if they expect to compete with the No. 22 ranked Southern Miss Golden Eagles ( 11-2 ). Nevada lost 3 of their first 4 games, won 5 in a row and closed the season losing 2 of 3. If you like the Wolf Pack for your Hawaii Bowl Betting, you will be getting plenty of points.

Southern Miss is coming off what I consider a domination of Houston to win their C-USA conference championship. While they had a couple stumbles this year, their national rank of 13^th overall in offense and 30^th overall in defense shows how well rounded they are.

This year will mark the 10^th edition of the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl in what is probably the most tranquil and picturesque location to watch a College Football bowl game live. Odds are you are far away from your job, stress and city you live in. That disconnect will help you look at this as more of a vacation than most bowl locations that may be near your hometown. The vibe, mountains, beaches and weather sure do a lot to help that chill attitude also.

I have to respect how this bowl game was founded in 2001 when the Warriors finished the regular season 9-3 but didn’t get a bowl invitation. The Hawaii Bowl was created in 2002 and guarantees the University of Hawaii a bowl spot when bowl eligible. They played in this bowl game 6 times thus far but fell short by losing 4 of their last 5 games this year.

In last year’s Hawaii Bowl Betting action, Local fave ( obviously ) Hawaii got thumped 62-35 by Conference USA’s representative Tulsa Golden Hurricanes. You could probably bet the outcome would turn out this way when the Warriors turned it over a ridiculous 6 times in the first half. Even when the other team has to fly eight hours just to play at your home playground, you can’t give up that many toys and expect to win.

For football fans it was cool to watch Damaris Johnson of Tulsa crank out 326 all-purpose yards breaking the NCAA record for a career. He was fourth on the list entering the game and passed current NFL running backs CJ Spiller and DeAngelo Williams before passing Michigan’s Brandon West’s 7.764 yards to set the new mark at 7,796 all-purpose yards.

As with many of the other NCAA Bowl Games, the Hawaii Bowl has a history of future NFL stars that have played here including Zach Miller from Arizona State and Chris Johnson ( CY2K ) from East Carolina.

We have two teams in Nevada and Southern Miss that may be sporting the next NFL surprise when they meet Christmas Eve.

2010 Hawaii Bowl - Damaris Johnson runs for record book as Tulsa rolls in Hawaii Bowl

Damaris Johnson ran sideways through defenders and down the sidelines past them. He didn't stop until he had an NCAA record and a big pineapple-shaped trophy.

Johnson broke loose for a career-high 326 all-purpose yards to break the NCAA career record and Tulsa took advantage of six first-half turnovers to beat No. 24 Hawaii 62-35 in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl on Friday night.

"Coming on this trip out to Hawaii, we knew in the back of our minds that there were a lot of distractions, but we played good and came out with this win," Johnson said. "We have to get on this eight-hour plane ride back home now, so maybe I'll get some sleep on the plane and it'll hit me in the morning."

The Golden Hurricane (10-3) grounded the nation's No. 1 passing offense most of the night and broke it open with a 21-point third quarter for their seventh straight win and third consecutive bowl victory.
