FiveStarPick.com looks to increase its stellar college bowl record by giving its members the ATS winner of the GMAC Bowl featuring the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes and the Ball State Cardinas.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Golden Hurricanes as 2.5-point favorites with the total listed at 75.

The Cardinals are hoping stud quarterback Nate Davis will return to campus next year, but Coach Brady Hoke has already made his decision to leave the Cards and head out to sunny San Diego to tackle the San Diego State program.  Hoke, posted a 34-38 record over his tenure of six seasons with Ball State, this year going 12-1.  But Stan Parrish, the team’s offensive coordinator, succeeds Hoke after signing a 4-year contract last month with Ball State and feels confident that he can lead the Cardinals to a victory tonight.

This will be a great matchup between two of the nation’s top quarterbacks.  David Johnson is having an outstanding season for the Golden Hurricane (10-3) and ranks among the top 10 in the nation in passing efficiency.  But both Davis and Johnson failed in their respective conference championship games.

Ball State had four fumbles in the MAC title game and cost the Cardinals a shot at a perfect season.  Buffalo returned two fumbles for touchdowns and the other two eventually turned into scores. Davis was also picked off once while throwing a TD pass and unfortunately it came with NFL scouts in the audience.

Johnson threw 5 INTs in the Golden Hurricane’s 27-24 loss to East Carolina in the Conference USA Championship.  Tulsa RB Tarrion Adams has rushed for 1,341 yard and 11 TDs ranking the Golden Hurricanes 8th in the nation in rushing, averaging 254.8 yards per game.  Tulsa is also 2nd in the nation in yards gained with 565.0 yards per game.
