San Antonio, Texas, Jan 3, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The college football season is coming to an end as the day for the Bowl Championship Series game is coming closer. Few days are left for the championship bowl in Pasadena and to charge up fans, teams are giving thrilling performances in the bowls scheduled in these days. Five bowl games were scheduled on January 2 and each of them saw some spectacular performances from the players. The Alamo Bowl played between the Texas Tech Red Raiders and Michigan State Spartans had been a high scoring game.
