The Bowl Game concept is a concept that everyone embraces, but getting the right matchups together is a difficult job.
Fortunately for the CRAA Fall Classic, they've hit on one matchup that matches competitive, like-minded teams with the Mint City Bowl, with Ohio State facing Penn State.
Penn State put Clemson to the sword 51-12 Saturday.
For the Nittany Lions this was a nice step forward for a squad that is hoping to find improvement.
Head Coach Justin Hundley (who was coaching against his former clubmate Troy Hall), was most pleased with the team unity.
As CRAA's 15s playoffs loom there's some 7s to be played, as well.
