Another GMAC Bowl win for Tulsa?
A second straight GMAC Bowl is what Tulsa will be gunning for at the Ladd-Peebles Stadium.
The 2009 GMAC Bowl will mark the second straight year the Tulsa Golden Hurricane will play in this BCS bowl game. Last season, Tulsa handily beat Bowling Green, 63-7, to win that year’s GMAC Bowl.
It was the largest margin of victory in BCS bowl history, as the Tulsa Golden Hurricane erased the record set by the Alabama Crimson Tide back in 1953 when they dominated Syracuse, 61-6, to win the Orange Bowl.
Tulsa is going back to the GMAC Bowl and will face a team that won its first 12 games this season, the Ball State Cardinals. Although Ball State ended the regular season with a disappointing 42-24 loss to Buffalo, the Cardinals still got the invite for the GMAC bowl.
The question now is, are they mentally prepared for the Golden Hurricanes, a team going for their second straight GMAC bowl win.
Ball State started this season 12-0 before losing 42-24 against Buffalo in the Mid-American Conference championship game. Ball State was ranked No.12 in the Associated Press top 25 poll. But after losing to the Bulls, the Cardinals dropped to No.23 in the rankings.Ironically, Tulsa also lost its last game in a conference championship game. East Carolina beat the Golden Hurricane 27-24 at Chapman Stadium to win the Conference USA title.
So with both teams losing their last respective contests, we’ll probably have a GMAC bowl game with both teams looking for redemption aside from trying to win a piece of hardware.
Tulsa would set a school record with its 11th win of the season with a win over Ball State. Of course, the Cardinals will have other plans.
