Beef O Bradys BowlBeef O Bradys Bowl, Aaron Dobson had “The Catch” in last month’s regular-season finale for the Marshall football team, an acrobatic one-handed grab against East Carolina that nudged its way onto national television and YouTube.

During Tuesday night’s Beef ’O’ Brady’s Bowl here against Florida International, and in front of an ESPN audience, the former South Charleston High standout flashed his receiving skills with two more touchdown snags that helped him earn the bowl’s MVP honors.

Dobson had both of MU’s touchdowns in a 20-10 win over FIU, giving the Herd a winning season (7-6) for the second time in three years.

Dobson finished with seven catches for 81 yards and a game-sealing 35-yard touchdown with 30 seconds left.

Dobson, a 6-foot-3 junior from Dunbar, caught the first touchdown — a 31-yarder — from true freshman quarterback Rakeem Cato in the waning moments of the first half.

The grab drew oohs and ahhs from the 20,072 fans in Tropicana Field.

Dobson found himself one-on-one with FIU cornerback Sam Miller, and out-jumped the helpless defender inside the 5, hauled in the pass and let his momentum carry him over the goal line for a game-tying score.

Dobson jumped up and motioned to the Thundering Herd faithful, who were mostly seated in that corner of Tropicana Field in the area behind home plate spanning from dugout to dugout.

Dobson finished the season with 12 touchdowns and now has 21 for his career.

Little Caesars Bowl, The San Diego State Aztecs have a chance to close their season with a victory rally bowl in front of tens of thousands of their fans.
It’s a scenario that seems unlikely without doubt most of these rippers two years ago, when Brady Hoke was hired as coach the Aztecs. But it did not take long for him to turn around the program.

The Aztecs (8-4) will play Navy (9-3) in the Poinsettia Bowl today, one of three playoff games during the holiday weekend. The Hawaii Bowl will be held Friday in Honolulu between Tulsa (9-3) and Hawaii (10-3), and Little Caesars is Bowl Sunday in Detroit, corresponding to Toledo (8-4) and Florida International (6 – 6).

San Diego State is in the playoffs for the first time since 1998 and earned his debut win in 12 years. But Qualcomm Stadium, several days of heavy rain left the field under several inches of water about 24 hours before kickoff.

“We intend to kick off at 5:06 pm PT,” the general manager Bruce Binkowski told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “The stadium grounds crew will work ’round the clock to ensure they get in the game.”

A nine-victory season would give the Aztecs their most wins since 1977 the team was 10-1. “These kids did a great job. My challenge to them is now we have to end, “Hoke said.
