  • The third-annual Bahamas Bowl will once again feature teams from the Mid-American Conference and Conference USA. The two leagues split the first two matchups, so this one will determine which conference takes the lead in the overall standings. In a bowl which has averaged over 86 points per game, expect Old Dominion and Eastern Michigan to continue the tradition of this being a high-scoring affair.

    With offense traditionally dominating this bowl, look for Old Dominion wide receiver Zach Pascal to have a big game. The 6-foot-2 senior displays solid speed and can beat defenders in the short, intermediate and deep areas of the field. He’s hauled in eight touchdowns this season and has a total of 63 receptions for 893 yards. Pascal is just six catches and 82 yards away from last season’s totals.

    Neither program has a prospect that is currently projected to be selected in the 2017 NFL Draft, but Pascal is the one player who could work his way into the final round. Speed will be a big factor, but he has an opportunity to grab the attention of scouts with a strong performance in the Bahamas.
