– 5 Thoughts: Tailgreeter Cure Bowl Analysis
It might not have been quite as good a game as last year’s Liberty win over Coastal Carolina in that version of the Cure Bowl, but it wasn’t far off.
Seriously, what more could you have possibly wanted from an early bowl? Both teams were a blast, the offenses went off, it was a back-and-forth game with big haymakers thrown and big plays, and it came down to a controversy in the final seconds.
The Northern Illinois running game was fun. The Coastal Carolina offense as a whole was fun. It was all fun.
