Liverpool Defeat Nahki Wells & Burnley 2-1
- January 01, 2018
Burnley made just one change with James Tarkowski returning from a three match suspension to replace Kevin Long at the heart of the home side's defence.

Outback Bowl Game Preview

I think Michigan's defense is better and will get a few more stops. He is Michigan's unquestioned starting quarterback entering the January 1 contest against SC but somebody else could be deemed the answer during the spring.
