Good morning, New York Giants fans! Happy Saturday, and I hope everyone had a great holiday!
The 2025-2026 Bowl Season rolls on today, though we’re still in the break between the first and second rounds of the College Football Playoffs. Today’s games feature a selection of teams that were responsible for much of the chaos in college football this year. On one hand, we have some teams that disappointed and didn’t play up to their talent or pedigree, as well as some teams that far outplayed expectations this year and knocked off some powerhouses.
ABC – noon
This game features two perennial powerhouses and teams that should feature a number of highly drafted players. The big question is which ones will we see on the field today? Unfortunately, the marquee matchup between Clemson DT Peter Woods and Penn State OG Olaivavega Ioane won’t happen, as both have opted out in favor of preparing for the Draft.
Thanks to injuries and opt-outs, we’ll just focus on one player for each team.
Clemson – Blake Miller (OT – 78) – Miller is Clemson’s right tackle and has been an solid run blocker and pass protector for the Tigers. He has good size at 6-foot-6, 315 pounds and plenty of experience on the right side. He could be an option for the Giants on the second day of the draft if they decide to move on from Jermaine Eluemunor, or even if they want a long-term successor and aren’t confident Marcus Mbow will be more than a swing tackle.
Penn State – Dani Dennis-Sutton (DE – 33) – It’s somewhat fitting that we look at an edge defender after focusing on an offensive tackle for the other team. Dennis-Sutton is a good-sized DE/OLB at 6-foot-5, 265 pounds, and the Giants should have a pretty good file on him already after scouting Theo Johnson and Abdul Carter after the last two seasons. His ceiling may be as a rotational edge defender, but he’s an adequate run defender and could have uspide as a pass rusher if he can turn more of his hurries (25) and hits (13) into sacks (6 in 2025).
ABC – 3:30 p.m.
Today’s game against ranked teams is right in the middle of the afternoon, and this has the potential to be a good one. Georgia Tech has been one of the sources of chaos in college football this year, with a last-second upset win over Clemson.
BYU, meanwhile, has wins over ranked teams in Arizona and Utah. As with last game, we’re only going to look at one player for each team, but neither team has any players opting out to prepare for the Draft.
(12) BYU – L.J. Martin (RB – 4) – Martin is a big, (6-foot-2, 220 pounds) powerful back with good vision and contact balance. He’s patient behind the...
