College Football Picks POINSETTIA BOWL: Navy vs

. San Diego State

Navy will play its third bowl game in San Diego in six years, returning to the city with the largest naval base on the West Coast. In 2005, the Midshipmen pummeled Colorado State 51-30 during the inaugural Poinsettia Bowl before falling 35-32 to Utah two years later. A bowl victory on the Aztecs' home field would give the service academy 10 wins in consecutive years for the first time.

With Ricky Dobbs as the focal point of the triple option, the Midshipmen have one of the nation's top rushing offenses. However, Dobbs isn't the only backfield threat for Navy. The Aztecs also must try and stop Alexander Teich (825 yards, five TDs) and Gee Gee Greene (459 yards, five TDs) as they helped the Midshipmen finish the regular season fifth in the nation with 288.9 rushing yards per game.

San Diego State, meanwhile, allowed the third-fewest rushing yards in the Mountain West (1,704), holding four teams to fewer than 90 on the ground this season. Linebacker Miles Burris led the team with 74 tackles and 9 1/2 sacks. Besides a solid run defense, the Aztecs have a high-powered offense as well. Ryan Lindley was the Mountain West's top quarterback with 3,554 passing yards. His 26 touchdown passes tied TCU's Andy Dalton for most in the conference. Lindley will be throwing to the top two receivers in the MWC. DeMarco Sampson caught 65 passes for 1,175 yards and eight scores, while Vincent Brown had 61 catches for 1,187 yards and nine touchdowns and was named the team's MVP.

SDSU also has a star running back. Ronnie Hillman, the conference freshman of year, set the league's single-season freshman rushing record with 1,304 yards and ran for at least 150 five times. SDSU went 5-1 this season at Qualcomm Stadium, but has dropped three straight postseason games since beating Boston University in the 1969 Pasadena Bowl.
