Foster Farms: Dan Feeney (G – Indiana) vs. Lowell Lotulelei (DT – Utah)

There are quite a few high-caliber matchups in the trenches this bowl season, but they don’t get much better than the one taking place in the Foster Farms Bowl.

Indiana’s Dan Feeney will look to control the interior of the line as he takes on Utah’s 310-pound defensive tackle Lowell Lotulelei.

Unfortunately, this matchup might not happen as frequently has NFL scouts would like. The Hoosiers have been riddled with injuries along the offensive line and Feeney has been forced to play right tackle the past four games. While he has still seen some snaps at right guard, the first-team All-American won’t line up across from Lotulelei too often.

Lotulelei is primarily the right defensive tackle in Utah’s 4-3 defense, however he does play some one-technique which would give the right guard an opportunity to block him depending on the play call.

Although these two may only faceoff on a handful of plays throughout the game, all eyes will be glued to these two prospects when that occurs. Both players are projected day two picks in the 2017 NFL Draft.
