Dean Connors is having one of the best games of his career for Houston in the Texas Bowl. Short area quickness and contact balance have stood out. And of course, Tanner Koziol made a key block to spring it.

LSU’s Trey’Dez Green with an impossible catch for a TD in the Texas Bowl. He’s such a freak. Green is going to be one of the top pass catchers in the country next season

Houston’s Tanner Koziol has such a ridiculous catch radius. Conner Weigman just throws it up to his TE to make a play in the Texas Bowl. Koziol came into tonight with 43 contested catches over the last two seasons

Houston’s defensive line has been its secret sauce all season, and it’s showing up in the Texas Bowl. Khalil Laufau was shot out of a cannon on this third down sack.

Pass catchers as big as LSU’s Trey'Dez Green (6’7, 240) should not be able to move this smoothly. Showcasing in the Texas Bowl what Lane Kiffin has to look forward to next season

North Texas’ offense is a well-oiled machine with Drew Mestemaker as its point guard. Fourth down, up eight and bam a TD to Cameron Dorner. Came into the New Mexico Bowl ranked the No. 1 offense by SP+. This is an all-time G6 offense

Missouri’s Ahmad Hardy is a human bowling ball. Came into the Gator Bowl top three in forced missed tackles and rushing yards after contact.

No bowl game does it better than the Pop-Tarts Bowl, baby! Team Sprinkles was this year’s “snackrifice” to “mouth heaven.” Despite Protein Slammin’ Strawberry avoiding the ceremonial toast, BYU head coach Kalani Sitake seemed pleased with the edible mascots.

With the People’s National Championship on the line, BYU’s Evan Johnson calls game with the INT. The Pop-Tarts Bowl isn’t just the best for the antics and zaniness, but because we got two programs who cared and gave us an elite game.

Caleb Hawkins is so ridiculous for North Texas. Shedding tackles in the New Mexico Bowl like it’s nothing. Two TDs in the first quarter to take him to 28 on the season. Elite player.

North Texas’ Caleb Hawkins just scored his 27th TD of the season on the opening drive of the New Mexico Bowl. He’s scored 4+ TDs in four games this season. It’s not crazy to think he could hit 30 TDs today

BYU’s Nusi Taumoepeau just forced a fumble by kicking the ball out of the receivers hand. Anything goes in the Pop-Tarts Bowl!

Protein Slammin’ Strawberry is ripping curls (with toasters on a barbell) and causing havoc at the Pop-Tarts Bowl. We say it every year, but every bowl should take notes on the Pop-Tarts Bowl’s willingness to lean into the bit

Miami (OH)’s Thomas Gotkowski thought he was going to drop this pass like it’s hot to his WR but Fresno State’s Jakari Embry makes a nasty INT. We’ve got a defensive battle early in the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl.

BYU’s Chase Roberts is shining early in the Pop-Tarts Bowl. He’s so smooth for a 6-foot-4 WR. One of the most underrated WRs in the 2026 NFL Draft class.

Army’s Godspower Nwawuihe with one of the angriest runs of bowl season in the Fenway Bowl. Just sick contact balance

Penn State’s Dani Dennis-Sutton is having a hell of a last game in the Pinstripe Bowl. Stab-rip and the chip doesn’t impact him at all. Two sacks today for the potential top 100 pick

Doesn’t seem to matter that Penn State has half its starters out for the Pinstripe Bowl. The Nittany Lions are just playing like they want it more. Look at the effort from Trebor Pena to break through two defenders for a 73-yard TD

Despite announcing he’s entering the transfer portal, UConn star RB Cam Edwards is playing in the Fenway Bowl. Didn’t take long to showcase his Power 4 talent with this splashy run to set up his TD on the next play. One of the top portal RBs

On fourth down in the Military Bowl, East Carolina’s Marlon Gunn Jr. rips off one of the best runs of bowl season for a TD. BUT an inadvertent whistle calls the play back … a few plays later Pitt forces a fumble and returns it for a score. Insane.

We have a massive college football bowl slate today, and these are some of my favorite TD plays at Sportsbook Review 🏈 Parker Kingston TD (-120) 🏈 Caleb Hawkins 2+ TDs (-105) 🏈 Ahmad Hardy 2+ TDs (+140) 🏈 Dean Connors TD (+115)

Penn State’s Dani Dennis-Sutton making his presence felt in the Pinstripe Bowl for a depleted Nittany Lions squad. Major third down stop. One of the top NFL prospects you’ll see playing today

UTSA has a future star in freshman running back Will Henderson III. Look at the speed he’s bringing to the First Responder Bowl. And the blocking, especially from WR DJ Allen Jr., is beautiful

FIU’s Maguire Anderson just took a punt back 97 yards for a TD in the First Responder Bowl. Willie Simmons has his team bringing it. He’s done of the best coaching jobs in the country this season

One of the best catches of bowl season walks it off for Minnesota in OT. What a snag by Jalen Smith. The Rate Bowl between New Mexico and Minnesota is exactly why bowl season is awesome. Two teams playing their asses off and giving us an unreal game to watch on a Friday

Just when it looks like Minnesota might pull away in the Rate Bowl, New Mexico’s Damon Bankston take a kick back 100 yards. Plus the Lobos hit the two to tie it! Andddddd we cash my favorite TD bet for the game for Sportsbook Review

Central Michigan’s Jordan Kwiatkowski already making plays in the GameAbove Sports Bowl. Huge fourth down run stuff for one of the best MAC linebackers in recent memory.
