Dave and Blaine set the stage with full bowl coverage — kickoff times, TV details, weather, uniforms, payout, and series history — while previewing Saturday's matchup and outlining Blaine's three keys to a BYU victory. The show also revisits the last time the Cougars faced Georgia Tech, when Taysom Hill led BYU to a dominant bowl win, and highlights Hill's monster NFL performance in Week 15. A major highlight of the night is the Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week, where AJ Dybantsa becomes the first Cougar ever to win the award back-to-back. Dave and Blaine break down one of the most statistically impressive weeks in BYU basketball history — 61 points over two games, elite efficiency, a SportsCenter Top 10 dunk, and an incredible discipline stat: over 171 minutes without committing a foul.

Jay Greeson and Chris Lee preview the Kinder's Texas Bowl between LSU and Houston and offer predictions. Topics include: Houston looks to have a huge motivational edge. It's 9-3 season under first-year-in-Houston coach Willie Fritz surpassed expectations. LSU, meanwhile, had national title expectations. Once it became obvious that the Tigers weren't making the College Football Playoff, LSU coach Brian Kelly was fired and that's put the coaching staff and roster into uncertainty (which didn't always result in the Tigers playing well). LSU will be without (at a minimum) starting quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, star linebacker Whit Weeks and potential first-round corner Mansoor Delane, defensive lineman Ahmad Breaux and possibly, receivers Aaron Anderson and Nick Anderson. Houston's starting center, Demetrius Hunter, will not play. Houston is led by quarterback Connor Weigman (formerly of Texas A&M), who led an offense that averaged 28 points per game. The Cougars have a potent receiving punch in Amare Thomas and Ball State transfer tight end Tanner Koziel, who's one of the country's best at his position. Houston's defense allowed 21.8 points per game and was solid against the run and the pass. *YEARLY CO* Use promo code SE16KIT for a free sizing kit! https://yearlyco.com/ ROKFORM Use promo code SEC25 for 25% off!
