The Marshall Thundering Herd were 60 minutes away from registering their first winning regular season since 2004, but just when coach Mark Snyder had a reason to think that he could finally break through, the roof fell in. Marshall got mashed by UTEP, 52-21, on Nov. 28; shortly thereafter, Snyder would be pushed out the door as the team’s sideline boss.

2009 Poinsettia Bowl – #23 Utah Utes vs. Cal Golden Bears

College Football Betting Odds: Cal -3, Total Points 53

A very interesting matchup of two middle-tier West Coast teams will take place in San Diego, when the Utah Utes and the Cal Golden Bears square off in the Poinsettia Bowl.

For Cal, it has been somewhat of a disappointing season, in a year when many expected them to contend for a Pac-10 crown. Offensively, they have and always will be led by a pro-style running game, which this year produced two 800 yards rushers.
