CFN: Top Bowl Moments for Every Program

Honolulu, HI Aloha Stadium
Dec. 24, 8:00 pm, ESPN
Matchup: Fresno State vs. SMU

Best Bulldog Bowl Moment: In one of the more historic victories in school history, Fresno State toyed with Pac-10 powerhouse USC in the 1992 Freedom Bowl. The Bulldogs picked off three Rob Johnson passes and outgained the favored Trojans 405-183 in a surprisingly easy 24-7 win.

Best Mustang Bowl Moment: SMU has only recently returned to the postseason on an annual basis, a welcome change from the two decades which followed the 1987 death penalty. However, those many dry years should not lead one to think that the school lacks history in this area. The Mustangs’ most memorable moment came in the 1983 Cotton Bowl, a 7-3 win over Pittsburgh to finish the season with no losses and just a tie to Arkansas. Though Dan Marino was the more heralded quarterback entering the game, Lance McIlhenny was the hero, scoring the game’s only touchdown and deftly running the option with the help of Eric Dickerson and Craig James

Glad they didn't mention the Holiday Bowl disaster.
