Bowl season continues to
roll on! Though we still haven’t hit the best games, I give you my picks for
the upcoming bowls!
Poinsettia Bowl – BYU
VS San
Diego State
If it is all possible to have a WAC throwback moment,
this would be the best example. These two will be clashing for the first time
since their old WAC days. The battle to watch for in this game is SDSU’s highly
touted run game against the stout BYU defense. Running back Adam Muema leads
the Aztecs with nearly 1,400 yards and 16 touchdowns. He is an explosive
playmaker that could really make the Cougars pay. The issue is that they don’t have a passing
game. If the BYU defense can clamp down, they can really make sure this offense
goes nowhere. I think BYU’s defense will be able to clamp down which will give
running back Jamaal Williams all opportunities he needs to win the game. It
will be decently close as BYU wins 20-6.
Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl St.
Petersburg – Central Florida VS Ball State
This is an interesting
matchup between great teams from lower conferences. UCF came very close to
winning the Conference USA title with their powerful offense. They come in averaging
35.2 points per game. They have a balanced attack that features QB Blake
Bortles and RB Latavius Murry which is very hard to stop. Ball State has a very
potent running offense. They average 214.3 yards on the ground per game. Ball
State’s problem is the issues they have with their defense. Allowing an average
of 31.5 points per game, Ball State’s best defensive performance came in a
30-22 win against Army. Army is known for their single dimensional offense
which makes me scared when Ball State has to take on a balanced on like UCF’s.
There will be a lot of points in this one and UCF will score the most as they
win 41-29.
Thanks for reading!
