Today’s bowl games

Poinsettia Bowl

Colorado State (6-5) vs. Navy (7-4)

WHERE: Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego.

TIME: 7:30 p.m.

TV: ESPN2.

KEY STATS: Navy leads the nation in rushing offense (305.2 ypg, 40 rushing TDs). Colorado State is 105th in rush defense (200.6 ypg).

THE BUZZ: Navy’s wins came over teams that finished with a combined 13 victories. That said, this has the potential to be entertaining, assuming CSU QB Justin Holland is on his game. It’s hard to imagine Colorado State shutting down Navy’s rushing attack.

KEY STATS: BYU is No. 8 in pass offense (306.3 ypg). Cal is No. 10 in rush offense (234.7 ypg).
