The 2012 Senior Bowl pits some of the best college seniors from the North against some of the best seniors from the South in what has become a major showcase for anyone hoping to have their name called in this April\u2019s NFL Draft. <\/p>\n
Date\/Time: Saturday, Jan. 28 4 p.m. (ET) Kickoff from Ladd-Peebles Stadium is slated for 4 p.m. (ET) and the game will be broadcast nationally on the NFL Network.<\/p>\n Leslie Frazer and the coaching staff of the Minnesota Vikings will be at the helm of the North squad this year as they get the advantage of having an early look at some players that might fit their roster next season.<\/p>\n The North features a pair of quarterbacks that are looking to improve their current stock for this year\u2019s draft. Boise State\u2019s Kellen Moore and Wisconsin\u2019s Russell Wilson are expected to share duties running the offense on Saturday. Moore finished this season with 3800 yards passing and 43 touchdowns while completing 74.3 percent of his throws. Wilson led the Badgers to an 11-2 record before losing to Oregon 45-38 in the Rose Bowl. He threw for 3,175 yards and 33 TD\u2019s.<\/p>\n A couple of other players on the North\u2019s roster that are looking to make an impact in this game are running back Doug Martin, also from Boise State, wide receiver Marvin Jones from California, and defensive lineman Mark Martin, out of Michigan.[soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n The South will be led by Mike Shanahan and the coaching staff of the Washington Redskins. Considering that Washington is one again in the market for a quarterback, Shanahan will get an up-close and personal look at Oklahoma State\u2019s Brandon Weeden, who passed for 4.727 yards while completing 72.3 percent of his passes. A couple of other quarterbacks on the South\u2019s roster are Nick Foles, out of Arizona and San Diego State\u2019s Ryan Lindley.<\/p>\n The running game for the South will be well represented with Baylor\u2019s Terrance Ganaway, who rushed for 1,547 yards this season and Vick Ballard, out of Mississippi State. He ran for 1,189 yards this season while averaging 6.2 yards a carry.<\/p>\n A couple of other standouts on the South from this season\u2019s national champion Alabama Crimson Tide include wide receiver Marquis Maze, tight end Brad Smelley, and defensive back DeQuan Menzie. The runner-up LSU Tigers will be represented by offensive lineman Will Blackwell, tight end DeAngelo Peterson, and defensive back Brandon Taylor.<\/p>\n It is hard to know what to expect in a game such as this as past trends have little or no bearing on predicting this year\u2019s outcome. In looking at both rosters, the overall talent level tends to favor the South in what should be another hard-fought close game.<\/p>\n The Pick: South 24 North 17<\/p>\n David Schwab weighs in with a short preview for the 2012 College football Senior Bowl weekend and provides some handicapping analysis.
