So the Bruins and Seminoles will meet in the 5th ever Emerald Bowl. Predictions?

As much as it kills me to say this, I have to go with UCLA in this match up. The Noles just aren't the Noles this year. AT least if they get shut out again, it won't be at home.

I agree, TechNut. I watched the UCLA Notre Dame game and came away impressed with the Bruins, even in the loss. They gave the Irish all they wanted, so they should be able to handle the Noles. Make it 27-7.

Well, the wait is over. The Emerald Bowl is tonight. Can the Bruins win this one? I say yes. What do you think?

Bobby Bowden has his 30th straight winning team at Florida State after the coach's most frustrating squad put a fierce finish on a wild Emerald Bowl. Lorenzo Booker ran for 91 yards, caught five passes for 117 more and scored two touchdowns, leading the Seminoles to a 44-27 victory over UCLA on Wednesday night. Patrick Cowan passed for 240 yards and Chris Markey ran for 144 for the Bruins (7-6).

Unbelievable. How does a UCLA team that beat USC turn around and lose to a .500 Florida State team? How?
