Who made our list of SEC studs and duds this bowl season? Let’s find out.

STUDS

1. Nick Chubb: The final game of Chubb’s freshman season was resemblant of his entire rookie campaign, both in terms of workload and production. He carried the ball a whopping 33 times in a 37-14 win over Louisville in the Belk Bowl, and amassed 266 yards and two touchdowns at better than 8.0 yards per carry. What’s more impressive is he did all of this against the No. 3 run defense in the FBS, and without offensive coordinator Mike Bobo coaching on the Georgia sideline.

2. Leonard Fournette: Not to be outdone by Chubb’s brilliance, LSU’s freshman running back and No. 1 prospect in the class of 2014 had a monster day in a losing effort against Notre Dame in the Music City Bowl. Fournette only touched the ball 11 times on offense, racking up 143 yards and two touchdowns at an incredible 13.0 yards per carry. He also returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown to help keep the Tigers in the game despite their dormant pass attack. LSU fell just short against the Fighting Irish, but Fournette was simply brilliant in defeat.

3. Markus Golden: Missouri’s senior defensive end closed the book on his college career with a dominant performance against Minnesota in a Citrus Bowl victory. Golden led Missouri with 10 tackles and added 4.0 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble in the win. He spent most of his day wreaking havoc in the Golden Gophers’ backfield, and helped limited the Gophers’ rushing attack to just 106 yards at 3.2 yards per carry. The Tigers defensive line was the strength of the team all season, and Golden’s impactful performance helped Mizzou reach 11 wins for the second year in a row.

DUDS

1. Bo Wallace: The Ole Miss Rebels’ inconsistent signal caller ended his career with one of the worst performances of his tenure in Oxford. He threw an interception on just the Rebels’ third play from scrimmage, and threw three picks before halftime in a 42-3 loss to TCU in the Peach Bowl. By game’s end he completed just 10 of 23 passes for 109 yards, an average of only 4.7 yards per attempt, and he failed to lead Ole Miss to the end zone in addition to taking five sacks on the afternoon. He spent stretches of the second half on the bench and never appeared to be in rhythm against an electric TCU defense, ending his college career in frustrating fashion on a big stage.

2. Blake Sims: Alabama’s starting quarterback may have completed 61 percent of his passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns, but his three interceptions and shaky leadership on a late two-minute drive likely cost the Crimson Tide a shot at a national championship. Sims threw his interceptions at the worst times, with two of those three picks coming in Ohio State territory in a 42-35 loss in the Sugar Bowl. Worse yet, the Crimson Tide’s late drive in the final 90 seconds was as poorly executed as any late drive in a bowl game this season, due in large part to Sims’ poor decision making and delayed reaction in getting his offense lined up for the next snap. The sensational senior ended his lone season as Alabama’s starter in disappointing fashion, crushing the hopes of the No. 1 team in the nation.

3. Mississippi State’s front seven: The Bulldogs had only allowed two opponents to rush for more than 165 yards in their first 12 games this season, but they let the Georgia Tech option offense rack up a whopping 452 yards rushing and six touchdowns (yes, you read that right) at 7.4 yards per carry in a 49-34 loss in the Orange Bowl. Mississippi State’s defensive front appeared a step slow and out of position for most of the night, and by the second half it was clear the Georgia Tech offense had worn MSU down. The Bulldogs were not the first defense to be victimized by the Yellow Jackets’ rushing attack, but their inability to limit the damage cost a Mississippi State offense that scored 34 points and amassed 605 yards of total offense in defeat.
