Storyline to watch: The good news for FAU is that Lane Kiffin came in and transformed the program with two Conference USA championships in his three seasons in Boca Raton, Florida. He has caught all seven of his TD passes in the past six games, including a three-touchdown performance two weeks ago in the win over Southern Miss. The 6-5, 240-pound senior enters the bowl game on a roll. One of the best tight ends in college football, Bryant leads Florida Atlantic in receptions (65), receiving yards (1,004) and touchdown receptions (seven). And to start this season, Freeze coached the first few games from a hospital bed and then an examination chair after undergoing surgery in August when a potentially life-threatening strand of staph infection entered his bloodstream and exacerbated severe pain he was experiencing from a herniated disc. He was fired as Ole Miss head coach before the 2017 season when school officials discovered calls to an escort service on his cellphone. For Freeze, it has been a bumpy road to get here. Storyline to watch: In his first season at Liberty, Hugh Freeze has the Flames in their first FBS bowl game in their first year of eligibility. Calvert has thrown 26 TD passes this season, nine of those to Gandy-Golden. He and Liberty quarterback Stephen "Buckshot" Calvert have combined to form one of the most underrated pass-catch combos in the country. Gandy-Golden is at his best going up and getting the football and has made some spectacular catches. The 6-4, 220-pound senior ended the regular season ranked third nationally with 1,333 receiving yards and needs only 47 receiving yards in the bowl game to set the single-season school record.
