NOTES

- Fl St has never played in this bowl, doesn't even want to be there
- Fl St with interim coach
- Fl St long injury list suggests indifference
- Fl St letdown season, players dejected by exiting coach Jimbo Fisher

- SoMS has won the Independence Bowl twice, never lost
- SoMS is upswing for season, 8-4, improved from 7-5 last year
they are proud to play today and will try hard to win 3rd trophy
- Very small injury list
- Setting in Shreveport LA more to SoMS liking than Fl St

I actually think FSU will play with some motivation here. If it was still Jimbo, I would 100% agree with you. Might be close early, then FSU may start pulling away because they've completely worn out the Southern Miss D-Line.

Or I could be wrong and FSU will show no interest in this game, which is definitely a possibility.

Good luck!

On S. Miss as well.

I was all over Florida State until I read the game write-up on CBS Sportsline. FSU has key players sitting a slew of injuries and is facing a team that would love nothing more than to beat a BIG name school in a bowl. All of the motivation points towards Southern Miss giving it their all and with over 2 TDs in points being given I have to take it.

[A4K]

Just saw S. Miss team total is only 17. May have to jump on that.

I don’t like that you bought up to 17.

I don’t like that you bought up to 17.

why ? I don't let lines influence me so much.
(-138) was very reasonable to get there.
