Two teams that are happy to be playing on New Year's Day but are unhappy with how they got there, will get together to erase the bad memories of November and end the season on a high note. For Penn State, who will take the field with a scandal surrounding the program that forced legendary coach Joe Paterno into retirement have been distracted for the past month and are aiming to show off their true character. Houston was a candidate for a top tier bowl but lost their only game of the season in the Conference USA Championship game and are now trying to prove that they deserved a better bowl. Motivation will be the key so sit back, relax, and enjoy the 2nd annual Dallas Football Classic.
