>> all right, welcome to the ram post-game show. i'm adam zucker. tonight on cbs begins with hawaii 5-0 followed by 48 hours presents. tonight only cbs. in the game you just saw washington state over miami 20-14. their first bowl win since 2003. despite not scoring in the second half as i'm joined by houston nutt and brian jones

mike leach pulls it out. >> miami helped out quite a bit. the turnovers in the fourth quarter. joseph yearby, you have to hold onto the rock when you get close to the end zone. he doesn't do it here and then coach, i don't understand this play. you've got it there close to the red zone and you go for a little trick, yearby short with the pass. receiver was open. i question the play call in that situation. >> you have to win the turnover margins right here and give coach leach a lot of credit. all year long coach leach, they've been on the same page. i want to say something about larry scott. he has done an outstanding job to take over a problem like this. the players said he kept us together. when you lose your coach and you keep a team together it's a difficult situation because assistants, players, everybody starts looking who will be my coach? who will be the next coach? you could lose them. he has done a good job to get them to a bowl game.

>> we'll see what happens with him. miami lost six straight bowl games. let's get to the scoreboard starting with washington state's appearer of rival. washington's offense still going. >> miles gaskin right here will add to the 580 yards of total offense for the huskies on the day. set a record for freshman rush yards on the season. 86 yards. >> that one in the heart of dallas bowl in the original cotton bowl. also in the state of texas but not in the blizzard area as washington gets its first bowl win under chris peterson there. hey, marshall going for their first-- >> throws for six. >> we saw gaskin in the previous highlight and doc holiday doing it with the

defense. 16-10 the final. b.j., back and forth in the bronx. >> two hot quarterbacks in the game today. here is thomas sirk, 10 yard jump pass to-- >> duke an top here 27-24. when we come back we'll shine our spotlight on some of the big new year's bowl match-ups up next.

out of nowhere i get a call from bud lightjason lessard. inviting me and a friend to boston. it's time for the coin toss. heads, you meet a pats offensive legend. tails, defensive legend. tails. yeah! woo! meet ty law, one of my favorite patriots of all time. to go out there and do what you guys do, you're a lot braver than i am, man. please join bud light in welcoming sergeant jason lessard. greatest day of my life and i can't thank bud light enough

for everything they've done to make this possible. the the road trippers,ers, earmasked riders,rs. passionate tailgaters. the whiteouts, blackouts, fans going all out. the hootin' and hollerin', foot-stompin', halftime bands rockin'. every team has a tradition that inspires superior performance. and for the last 60 years, we're proud to be the one they all have in common. >> let it snow. a lot the day after christmas as washington state celebrates

its win in the hyundai sun bowl over miami. we welcome you back to the ram post-game show. at halftime represent viewed the national semifinal match-ups and shine our light on the bowl game that make up the new year six. stanford and iowa in the rose bowl. the cardinal earned a trip to pasadena with a route of usc. iowa makes a run for the roses after their quest for that undefeated season ended against michigan state. >> there are a lot of nice match-ups in this one. how about the scs defense of iowa against hogan. hitting 70% of his passes as the quarterback of stanford and all-purpose wonder christian mccaffery. a dynamite ball game. >> oklahoma state and old miss in the sugar bowl. two teams heading in opposite directions on the field. the rebels come in consecutive wins over top 25 teams. the cowboys drop the last two after the 10-0 start.

>> a throw-first offense. rudolph is healthy. he has watson. this guy will get the football fast. on the other side chad kelly. he has a bunch of weapons. nfl there are six pro scouts. watch this. that will be a battle. >> no kim for old miss in this one. next number 8 notre dame and number 7 ohio state. fiesta bowl. hard to believe these programs have only met five times before. the last meeting was in the fiesta bowl in 2006. >> the scouts will be watching it. he may be the best running back in the nation. no offense derrick henry and jalen smith the linebacker for notre dame is one of the best linebackers in all the land. >> two teams, then on new year's eve houston and florida

state squaring off in the peach bowl. florida state quarterback won't play due to personal issues effectively ending his college career. as for the cougars they have 12 wins for the second time in school history. that's houston. >> outstanding year facing an unbelievable tailback in cook. they'll have to run to the football to stop this guy. houston, though, greg ward, this guy has thrown the ball over 2500 yards and can also make people miss, running the football with 1,000 yards rushing. they have their hands full with ward. you'll take florida state. i'll lean to houston. >> i'm leaning florida state. >> coach, great having you in the saddle with us today. we loved having you. >> you can't do that. next year will be our 12th season together, b.j. happy holidays, buddy. >> oh, thank you. an even dozen. let's do it. come on. >> enjoy watching basketball. that will just about do it for this week.

>> ♪ >> from the cbs broadcast center in philadelphia, this is cbs3 "eyewitness news."

>> right now on "eyewitness news" the eagles are preparing to play their biggest game of the season and you'll see it live right here on cbs3. a live look at lincoln financial field where kickoff is just about two hours away. good evening everyone, i'm jim donovan. >> i'm rahel solomon. the birds getting ready to take on washington. they need to this one to keep their playoff hopes al life. let's head down to the field where lesley vanarsdale and sports director don bell are. hey, guys. >> they really need this game tonight. it is beautiful out here, crisp evening here, day after christmas. >> unbelievable weather. >> right. and so much at stake. >> make or break they lose this game, they're out, they're done. they don't have anything to play for. >> pretty much what she said. so, they have to get it done and it's interesting because it comes down to two teams who have been wildly inconsistent the entire season. the eagles as you know they are six and eight on the campaign. washington at just seven and seven.

we all joke here that this is the nfc least but it will be a massive game for the quarterback sam bradford who really has never been in this situation in his career. he knows how meaningful the next 60 minutes are. >> you know, you look forward to playing in these games. you know, not everyone has an opportunity to play in meaningful games in december. obviously i haven't had very many chances to but i think you just try to do a little bit extra. in your preparation during the week, whether it's watching more film, whether it's getting around the guys just talking through things making sure that we're all on the same page. >> reporter: now f-less than seven days ago, the eagles and sam bradford got their doors blown off here against arizona. >> we remember that. >> reporter: they lost by 23 points season high four turnovers. they'll have to be much sharper tonight against washington. >> of course the the fans all know how important this game s you think they're just a little teenie -- >> reporter: all fired up. >> let's go out to david spunt

and check in with him. hey, david. >> reporter: hey, guys half the fun is out here in there parking lot, people enjoying the tailgating. it's dipped down a little bit the weather but we've found plenty of fans enjoying themselves. it doesn't matter what the temperature was like. last week was a lot colder. i have been talking about tonight and people are feeling confident about going to the playoffs. they say there they believe they can beat washington. they said if they don't beat washington that's going to be a separate story but people out here don and lesley are feeling confident about the game tonight. they've been out here one person has been out here since 1 o'clock this afternoon when the parking lot opened but a lot of people, guys, are talking about coach chip kelly, mix ped reactions there. take a listen. >> been a really crappy season. i think we've all lost a little bit faith in chip kelly but hopefully he rebounds and builds the team and in the long run we're better off because if we lose tonight, he may be out of town. >> i'm a little nervous for

tonight but i think we have it in the bag. it's a nice line tonight. i think wip or lose chip kelly will have another year. >> reporter: people going to be giving chip kelly other opportunity next year just to see what happens but right now people are feeling positive vibes in the parking lot for that tailgate. we'll send it back jim and rahel to you in the studio he. >> thanks, david. make sure to tune in before the game for our 7 o'clock pregame special and while you're watching ugg connect with us. make your voice heard on facebook and twitter. join the conversation just use the hashtag cbs3. >> jim we just saw a lot of tailgaters out there and david spunt's piece. what are you thinking. >> cooler temperatures. record warmth yesterday. big difference today. our high temperatures are a little bit deceiving because we topped 63 degrees today in philadelphia but that high temperature occurred at 2 o'clock in the morning and we've been gradually cooling throughout the afternoon. so, if you are headed out to the linc might want to bundle up app bit.

24 hour temperature change reflecting that cooloff. down 13 degrees in philadelphia from this time yesterday evening and in double digit numbers that of cool down over the last 24 hours that most of our reporting sites we're at 52 degrees right now in philadelphia, chilly in the poconos down to 41 degrees and still fairly mild down the shore, temperatures in the low to mid-50's. but, yeah, if you're just about to leave headed to the linc for the big birds game tonight here on cbs, kickoff 49 degrees. temperatures stain throughout the game. we have a chance at a passing light shower so might want to bring thal umbrella just in case. storm scan3 pretty quiet right now across the delaware valley but you do notice this batch of moisture up wind that will continue to progress its way eastbound and will be building into the area as we head into the second half of the evening. good news is, though, after our muggy day yesterday, a muggy december days, dewpoints have droppedff significantly so the air is much drier so that moisture won't have so much to feed off of. so these rain showers that

come through tonight will be light in intensity. foggy conditions. 49 degrees our low temperature but we're actually be slowly warming up through the overnight period and then another day of record warmth in store for tomorrow, 70 degrees would smash the previous record of 64. maybe some breaks of actual sunshine. and then we he do have a chance at a passing shower especially late in the day and then a better chance of shower activity as we head into tomorrow night. on monday, mainly dry during the day light hours an chilly one to kick off the work week after the holiday weekend. 47 degrees our high temperature but again, we'll be cooling throughout the daytime hours. breezy conditions so it's going to be a cold one on monday and a wet one on tuesday. i'd say bring the umbrella but with the wind driven rain it's not going to do you much good its a rain slicker day on tuesday. 56 degrees. thursday is new year's eve. do have a chance for rain but the good news in the morning. new year's eve looks like it's going to be dry for all the festivities. >> so a mixed bag for us.

>> we are awaiting kickoff in south philadelphia where the eagles are taking on washington tonight. >> yeah, that's right, let's head back down to the linc where don bell and lesley van arsdale are standing by. there's no other way to put it. they have to win tonight. >> they must. >> reporter: it's incredible. we have been saying this for several weeks. >> every game. >> reporter: its a must win game. >> this is it pretty much. >> this real sal must win game and it's really going to come down to so many factors with the quarterback it's always important especially when you're talking about a guy like sam bradford who is in this position fort first time in his career and the eagles are really relying on him. a little difficult watching him last week against arizona with the two turnovers as we

show you the video of bradford and the eagles trying to get right so to speak. it's been a wild season, though, for washington as well because kirk cousins new to the team really as a starter because he's taken over for rg iii. he was electric last week. cousins 3,625 yards on the season, 22 touchdowns. you know what, the eagles have a lot of respect for this guy, kirk cousins. >> you watch the tape i think you really -- the thing that stands out is his repetitive accuracy. he's extremely accurate and doesn't seem like he's putting the ball in harms way. not only is he completing it he's always putting it in the right location. >> what a great quarterback does is not focus in on one but takes was give him and when deshawn's opening has it kirk has got the arm to get it there and he's a highly accurate thrower, very good decision maker than hitting on all cylinders right now. going to be a hell of of a challenge for us to step up and beat them. >> washington could win their

second nfc east title in 16 years with a win tonight. they were picked to finish last in the division. they come into the game on a bit of a roll. they've won three out of four and trust me they're really looking forward to knocking the birds out of the playoffs. >> question we fighting for the division title right now. it's amazing because we control our own destiny. doesn't matter what anybody else does. if we go out there and take care of business, it's over, it's done. >> there's no other way you could have asked for it in the city of brotherly love in they place nfc east title up we got our guys, they got they guys, we get time to rest. sometime i hate late games but for this purpose i love to have it this late, give us more time for our game plan, take care of our bodies, make sure everybody got their game plan down pat get ready to exexecute. this going to be one heck of a fight. >> at the top of the beltway hour we'll get you set for this all important game for the nfc east. it's washington, it's the

philadelphia eagles and our pregame show is at 7:00 p.m. the amoco can beoff by toyota. the voice of the eagles merrill reese going to join us along with pat gallen. it's going to be so much fun. >> it's a big one. >> stick around. you'll enjoy this. >> absolutely. >> back to you guys. >> all right, back to you guys in the studio. >> all right, guys thank you. a lot of people back here cr
