PREVIEWING THE 2011 KRAFT FIGHT HUNGER BOWL: ILLINOIS VS UCLA

Kraft Fight Hunger BowlBy Rock Mayock 11:00AM  Today’s bowl line up will feature perhaps the biggest throw away game from the 2011 bowl season, the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. Illinois (6-6) is red hot coming off of a 6 game losing streak and UCLA (6-7) is the first team in a decade to go a bowl with a losing record. Incidentally both Illinois and UCLA be coached by interim head coaches seeing as though they fired their sitting head coaches immediately after the conclusion of the regular season. Sounds all of the makings of a great game, right?

Utah (7-5) enters the contest on a hot streak having won 4 of their final 5 games. Conversely Georgia Tech (8-4) enters the contest on shaky footing having lost 3 of their final 5 games.
