The 2010 PapaJohns.com Bowl will be the fourth edition of the college football bowl game, and will be played at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama. The game is scheduled to start at 2:00 PM US EST on Saturday, January 2, 2010. The game will be telecast on ESPN and will match the South Carolina Gamecocks against the Connecticut Huskies.[2][3]
Both teams will make their first appearance in the game. Interestingly, this is the 30th anniversary of South Carolina's last postseason game at Legion Field in the 1979 Hall of Fame Bowl, and the 20th anniversary of USC head coach Steve Spurrier's last Legion Field bowl game, with Duke at the 1989 All-American Bowl. After losing three straight games in the wake of the October 18 stabbing death of cornerback Jasper Howard, UConn finished the season by beating Notre Dame, Syracuse and South Florida. UConn is also making its 3rd straight bowl appearance and fourth in six years since joining the Big East Conference South Carolina has been bowl eligible in all five of coach Steve Spurrier's seasons. The Gamecocks are also coming off a big win as they defeated rival, Clemson 34-17 in their final regular-season game.
It will be the first meeting between the two schools.
