Holiday Bowl - Does USC show up?

[all_in_13]

No Caleb Williams, no defense. Will USC even be motivated to show up in this game?

 

[BMR Genie]

The Cardinals will probably be without some good players also.

These bowl games are a sham now, this use to be my strength at the end of the season to handicap these various bowls

Tough call on measuring a team's motivation in these bowl games. Sure players want to win and coaches will talk it up that we're in it to win it but, in reality when the stars sit out, the rest of the team is pissed and probably don't give a crap.

Add in the motivational factor of playing in a consolation game rather than competing in the playoffs for a championship.

Good point. Especially someone like Ohio St, Georgia, or FSU.

I just wanna confirm your position. Do you think you are a sharp or a square ? Serious question & don’t give me a bullshit answer.

Most Bowl games anymore are a sham, one team shows up and a good number players opt out fearing injury or their position in the draft won't improve. Major Bowls 3 mean something & are played

I basically said this same statement the other day in not so many words. These bowls use to be my strength as a capper to end my season. Not so much now the case.
