Jacksonville, FL (My Sportsbook) - Pat Fitzgerald never won a bowl game at Northwestern as a player, but now he's helped end the Wildcats' long postseason drought as a coach. An elongated 64-year stretch to be exact. Venrick Mark, Trevor Siemian and Tyris Jones all ran for touchdowns in No. 21 Northwestern's 34-20 win over Mississippi State in the Gator Bowl. The Wildcats' lone bowl win prior to Tuesday was a victory over California in the 1949 Rose Bowl. Kain Colter and Siemian split time at quarterback. Siemian threw for 120 yards on 12-of-21 efficiency with an interception, while Colter tossed two picks and completed 9-of-15 passes for 76 yards. Colter added 75 yards on the ground for Northwestern (10-3), which made its fifth consecutive bowl appearances and had dropped nine straight postseason tilts coming in. Tyler Russell struggled mightily and completed just 12 passes on 28 attempts for 106 yards with four interceptions for the Bulldogs (8-5), who lost five of their last six contests to close the year after a 7-0 start.
Final Score: Oklahoma State 58, Purdue 14 Dallas, TX (My Sportsbook) - Clint Chelf completed 17-of-22 passed for 197 yards and three touchdowns to lead Oklahoma State to a 58-14 win over Purdue in the Heart of Dallas Bowl. Charlie Moore, Blake Jackson and Blake Webb each caught touchdown passes for the Cowboys (8-5), who won their third bowl game in as many seasons. J.W. Walsh also threw for a pair of scores while Isaiah Anderson and Jeremy Seaton also added receiving touchdowns in the triumph. Robert Marve for threw for 212 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions and Brandon Cottom and Tommie Thomas each added a receiving score for the Boilermakers (6-7), who had a three-game winning streak and two-game bowl- winning streak.
