BCS Bowl Game Injury Report
The BCS Bowl Games kick off on Saturday and here is a look at all the key injuries to each of the BCS contests.
Due to a lengthy amount of time off, most of the teams participating in these bowl games are healthy. One of the games with notable players on the injury report is the Rose Bowl, which has Wisconsin taking on TCU. Oddsmakers from online sportsbook Sportsbook.com have the Horned Frogs as a 3-point favorite in the game. TCU quarterback Andy Dalton is listed on the injury report with an elbow injury, but is listed as probable to play while Wisconsin running back John Clay is also battling a knee injury that forced him to miss two games. Clay is expected to play on Saturday.
In terms of the BCS National Championship, both Auburn and Oregon are pretty injury free. Neither team will have a key player out due to injury.
