The 2023 College Football Bowl season has given fans some great games so far. The playoff games were great matches between the top-four teams in the country with TCU beating Michigan 51-45 and Georgia edging Ohio State 42-41. Tons of scoring and lots of touchdowns, just what fans want to see.

Not all 2023 College Football Bowl games were high scoring

Not all games had high scores. Not all games had touchdowns: Kentucky lost 21-0 to Iowa in the TransPerfect Music City Bowl on New Year’s Eve and Florida was held to three points by Oregon State, who went on to score 30 points in the SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl.

The ReliaQuest Bowl at least gave us a couple of touchdowns, but what are some other low-scoring College Football Bowl games?

It's officially halftime at the 2023 Reliaquest Bowl, and we have the SECOND lowest score at the half in the history of the bowl game! @IlliniFootball is on top of @HailStateFB 7-3 🏈🌴☀️ #HailState #SwingYourSword #Illini #HTTO #famILLy
