In years past we have brought you primers for e

very game of Bowl Season. However Olivier Vernon Color Rush Jersey , given how bowl games have proliferated over the last few years, we decided to just highlight a few select games.Those games are either big ones which should be good, competitive, fun games, or they are games featuring draft prospects who could interest the New York Giants. The first game of today’s slate checks off both of those boxes, so without further ado, lets get to it.SERVPRO First Responder Bowl: Boston College vs. (25) Boise StateESPN - 1:30 p.m. Today marks the first day of Bowl Season with a game to which pretty much every Giants fan is going to want to pay attention.This afternoon we see two teams boasting prospects who could wind up figuring in to the Giants’ draft plans. We should also see a good game between a pair of teams which don’t get much national buzz, but play solid football. Boise StateThanks to the enduring quarterback question, we pretty much have to start here. Regular BBV contributor, and great and powerful (quarterback) Know It All, Mark Schofield has been a fan of Boise State quarterback Brett Rypien for months now. Rypien is one of the best quarterbacks in Boise State history, ranking second in passing yards with 13,581, completions with 1,036, passing attempts with 1,618, and touchdowns with 90. He also has the second-best interception ratio in school history, with a pick on just %1.79 of his passes. Brett is also the nephew of former NFL QB Mark Rypien Odell Beckham Jr Color Rush Jersey , who won a pair of Super Bowls (including an MVP award in the second one) with the Washington Redskins. As a pro prospect, Mark said about Brett back in October: A month later, Mark was still high on Rypien, and wrote about him as a possible Senior Bowl attendee. If the Giants either cannot, or do not, address the quarterback position with one of their first two picks, Rypien could be an option later in the draft to compete with Kyle Lauletta.Boston CollegeIf you’re watching Rypien, odds are you’ll get to see plenty of Boston College’s top prospect Zach Allen. Allen has been an absolute wrecking ball for BC defense this season. He has 55 QB pressures, 15 tackles for a loss, and 6.5 sacks on the season from the defensive end position. At 6’5”, 285 he probably doesn’t have the flexibility or lateral agility to be a true “EDGE” in the Giants’ scheme. However, his frame, power, and burst off the line are well suited to playing along the Giants’ defensive line — whether that is at the 5-technique defensive end in 3-man fronts, or as the 7-technique base end or 3-technique under tackle in 4-man fronts. While he might not be a replacement for Olivier Vernon, he could be a (very) rich man’s Kerry Wynn and would be a disruptor for a defense in need of one.On the Boston College offense is interior offensive lineman Chris Lindstrom. Playing guard, Lindstrom is one of the biggest reasons for the success of Boston College’s running game. He plays with an excellent base and functional strength, as well as the technique to bring it to bear. He consistently wins his one-on-one battles in run blocking and pass protection, and also plays well in space. Listed at 6’4” B.J. Goodson Color Rush Jersey , 305 pounds, he has a versatile build, and the NFL will wonder whether or not he can transition to center and boost his value. There are also two other bowl games on today: Quicklane Bowl - Georgia Tech vs. Minnesota (ESPN, 5:30 p.m.)Cheez-It Bowl - Cal vs. TCU (ESPN, 9 p.m.)So, Giants fans, what, and who, are you watching today? Good morning, New York Giants fans! Here are your Tuesday morning headlines.“Complete turnaround”The Giants, as you know, are 4-1 since the bye.“After the break or the bye, you’ve just seen this team make a complete turnaround,” wide receiver Sterling Shepard said on Monday. “Guys have been playing for each other and that’s all you can ask for, especially the way the season went the first half. Like I said, it’s turned around for us and we just got to keep it going.Incidentally, we lauded Shepard on Monday for his blocking on the two long runs by Saquon Barkley vs. Washington. We weren’t the only ones.“I actually got a game ball for blocking,” Shepard said. “They put the stats up there and I was like, okay Aldrick Rosas Color Rush Jersey , two receptions for 17 yards, but some of the downfield blocking was great. It sprung some big runs for Saquon, but I mean that’s what we take pride in in the wide receiving room is blocking, which a lot of receivers you see don’t really like to do that but Coach Tyke (Tolbert), he’s implanted that in us since he’s gotten here. That’s what we love doing.”Shepard said it was the “first time I’ve ever seen” a receiver get a game ball for blocking.Alec Ogletree at tight end?Linebacker Alec Ogletree told coach Pat Shurmur that if he got a fifth interception this season he wanted a play at tight.“Yeah I just want one play, that’s all. Just one play,” said Ogletree.Is he going to get it?“Yeah, it’s been in the conversation, definitely been in the works,” Ogletree said. “Coach said he’s thinking about doing it, so, we’re going to see what we can do.”Toy driveThe Giants and Toyota, in partnership with the United States Marines, will hold their annual Toys for Tots drive at MetLife Stadium when they host the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Fans are encouraged to bring new, unwrapped toys to any of the Toyota collection vehicles located at each entrance of the stadium prior to the game.
