With all the talk about the offences in this game both "D's" will be playing w/a chip on there shoulder. After reading local newspapers in both home towns it seems to me neither team thinks this is going to be a shoot-out. Tom Amstutz was quoted saying "A lot of teams that are in bowl games have explosive, wide open offenses that put alot off strain on defenses." "Alot of those teams are in bowl games, and when you put two teams like that together, you're going to have some points possibly being scored." "Although this game, it won't be that way."" With the rockets offense hurting in key spots, find it kinda hard for this game to get over such a high total without some defensive scores.
