Five of South Florida&#8217;s last six games went over the total. The Bulls earned a 45-0 win over Syracuse in last year&#8217;s Boca Raton Bowl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was South Florida&#8217;s first bowl appearance since the 2018 season. San Jose State has lost its last three bowl games, but this will be the Spartans&#8217; first under head coach Ken Niumatalolo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>San Jose State lost 24-14 to Coastal Carolina in the Hawaii Bowl last season. Niumatalolo went 6-5 in bowl games at Navy, but it&#8217;s been five years since he qualified for one with the Midshipmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hawaii Bowl Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This Christmas Eve showdown lost a little bit of luster when it was announced that San Jose State&#8217;s star receiver Nick Nash would not play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nash, a former quarterback turned receiver, led the nation in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Needless to say, he&#8217;s a big part of the Spartans&#8217; offense. South Florida has been a bit of an enigma this season, because the Bulls have looked like a different team without starting QB Byrum Brown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reserve QB Bryce Archie has shown flashes over the second half of the season, but he has nine interceptions in the seven games that he has started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brown has seemingly been preparing to return from his leg injury for a while, but has not been cleared to return. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of Sunday (12\/22), USF head coach Alex Golesh said the job is Brown&#8217;s whenever he is ready to return but Golesh did not name a starter for Tuesday&#8217;s contest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hawaii Bowl Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bulls have done this song-and-dance over the last month of the regular season. Low confidence, but we&#8217;re not interested in laying three points with the Spartans in this matchup without Nash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was such an integral part of San Jose State&#8217;s offense, and his absence is likely to be felt. Wind is also likely going to be a factor in Honolulu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll take the team that prefers to operate on the ground (South Florida) over the team that likes to move the ball through the air (San Jose State).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hawaii Bowl Prediction: South Florida +3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Country&#8217;s Longest-Running Sports Betting Newsletter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After subscribing to The Football GoldSheet, you\u2019ll never want to go back to the \u201cold\u201d way of handicapping.
