Las Vegas Bowl Preview

(10) Boise St. -17 vs. (19) Utah

This game features what many believe have been the best non-AQ schools of the last 5 years. Each team spent time in the top 5 this season. That seems like a long time ago for Utah. They were shredded by a far superior TCU team by 40 at home and followed that up by laying an egg in South Bend and losing to the Irish 28-3. Boise St. was a Kyle Brotzman field goal away from probably playing in the Rose Bowl. Some believe that the Broncos are primed for a let down. I disagree. I think that Boise is far superior in talent to Utah, much like TCU was. Though they might be disappointed to be in Las Vegas instead of Pasadena, I think Chris Petersen will have his team ready to play. Look for the likes of Kellen Moore, Titus Young, and Doug Martin to score early and often. I like Boise to win convincingly.

Prediction - Boise St. 45 Utah 24
