It's Rutgers football in the Papa Johns Bowl at 3PM today

Sure Papa John's can make them some ass-tasting pizzas, but they can also pick them some quality ingredients in their bowl game by inviting Rutgers!

That's right Scarlet Knight fans, Rutgers goes bowling vs the North Carolina State Wolfpack at 3 pm today on ESPN.

Both these clubs were dead and buried halfway through the season, The Scarlet Knights were 1-5 while NC State was 2-6. Both teams deserve huge amounts of credit for not packing it in and making something of their seasons. True and full redemption awaits today's winner. The Wolfpack secondary doesn't suck which will make Rutgers QB Mike Teel and receiving sensation Kenny Britt work all the harder. In fact, Britt may be used as a decoy from time to time to full open up the airways in the Wolfpack secondary. We think the biggest thing to watch is the Rutgers offensive line. If they give Teel time to throw, and if they can work some ground game into the mix, we think everything will come up Rutgers at the end. On the defensive side, the defensive line needs to take (hockey term coming) time and space away from NC State Freshman QB Russell Wilson. He's good but not great. Make him move around, make him throw on the run, hit him and knock him down even if you don't sack him. He's not likely to throw many interceptions, he does a good job taking care of the pigskin. That's why it's imperative to rush him, hit him and make him wish he'd never gotten out of bed.

NC State has beaten four bowl teams this season. They won't beat a fifth.

Our call?
Rutgers 35
NC State 31
