Liberty Bowl Picks
Memorial Stadium
Saturday Dec. 29th, Memphis
UCF Knights vs Mississippi St. Bulldogs
Spread: UCF -3
Over/Under Total: 56
By JR Valdez
Sylvester Croom has done an outstanding job with the Miss St. program and at 7-5 that is a huge improvement compared to the 9-25 in Croom’s first 3 years. While UCF will be relying on the lead rusher in the NCAA, Kevin Smith will be looking to add to his 2440 yards and 29 TD’s he owns this season. This guy is the Adrian Peterson second coming. I like UCF for their stats, but I like Miss St more for their experience in the SEC and think it will be the deciding factor I mean they are already going to key on Smith and the Bulldog offense will have enough to keep up so I gotta take the Dogs, they are a better team.

Liberty Bowl History
Over the 47 year history of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, 23 SEC teams have played in the Bowl, more than any other conference.
Notable games include the first Liberty Bowl game in 1959, as Bear Bryant and his Alabama team played Penn State. The 1971 game between Tennessee and Arkansas is still debated by long-time fans, with Tennessee winning 14- 13. However, the most historic game came in 1982 when the legendary Bear Bryant led the Crimson Tide to a 21-15 win over Illinois in his final game as head coach.
The AutoZone Liberty Bowl Trophy produced by Schulmerich is an authentic, one-quarter-sized replica of the bell that rang in Independence Hall to announce the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It has the same nicked edges, foundry marks, misspelled inscription and even the famous crack—all crafted to maintain the integrity of the Bell in every detail. Cast in traditional black bronze, the bell measures 12 inches in diameter and 11-1/2 inches high with crown. It is bolted to a handmade wooden yoke and swings on legs cast with the filigree design that appears on the original mounting.
Over the past decade, the AutoZone Liberty Bowl has pioneered the growth and development of C-USA. The AutoZone Liberty Bowl has osted C-USA’s top team since the league commenced football competition in 1996. C-USA teams are 9-5 in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. In the memorable 1998 game, Tulane defeated BYU 41-27 and finished the season undefeated with a perfect 12-0 record and a #7 national ranking.
The current format features teams from the SEC and Conference USA.
