Let's start the Bowl season on a solid note. I may have 1 or 2 more. BOL Everyone.
TOP PLAYS
3 UNIT PLAYS
South Alabama/ Bowling Green Over 53.5: The Jaguars were not a great offensive squad this year, but they are trying to change that for this bowl game as they have Fired their OC and are implementing a new fast paced offense for this game. That will do 2 things.First it will create more plays in the game and second it should mean that an already weak Bowling Green will be very much in the dark here as they will have no film on the new offense. That Bowling Green defense was horrible this year, allowing 499.6 ypg overall, 292.4 ypg passing and 33.9 ppg. Even worse is when they played away from home this year as they allowed 564.7 ypg, 320.1 ypg passing and 38.6 ppg. Even this new offense of the Jags should have no problems scoring on this defense. The Falcon offense already runs at a fast pace and they have averaged 29.8 ppg on the year, including 27.1 ppg away from home. The South Alabama defense was not all that bad this year, but they did wear down the stretch as they allowed 36 ppg in their last 4 games. With two fast paced offenses going up against a horrible defense and a tired one I just don't see how both teams don't score at least 27 points each in this game.
UTEP/ Utah State Under 45: The Utah State Aggies have had a tough time this year at the QB spot as they are down to I think the waterboy coming off the bench to play the position. this is not a team that is able to move the ball at ease right now and i don't see them doing that in this one either. The Miners don't have great defensive numbers overall, but they have played very well down the stretch, allowing just 19.7 ppg in their last 6 games. With the extra prep time and with having some good film on Utah State QB Kent Meyers they should be able to have a good showing vs this offense. On te other side of the ball UTEP is primarily a running team and that will help eat clock. The Miners will be facing a Utah State defense that has allowed just 3.3 yards per carry this year and that has held 9 of their last 10 opponents to 21 points or less. I see both offenses running the ball allot, while the defenses that have been very good this year down the stretch should continue their soli oplay and keep this game in the 30s.
