i plan to keep with tradtion and play every bowl game. should be plenty of good fading material, since i've been terrible since late september.
New Mexico Bowl
nevada (+8.5) 1 unit. hard to love this game. no defense from either team. and no strong edge in some categories i love to use for bowl games (TO margin, 3rd down % on offense and defense). so, as these games often do, it comes down to coaching and motivation. i consider ault a solid coach. i don't have anything nice to say about dickrod, so i'll stick to the numbers. he's 2-4 in bowl games. the two wins were by 3 points each. the 4 losses were by an average of 26 points. his first bowl game with wvu was a 48-22 loss. his first (and only) bowl game with michigan was a 52-14 loss. i see no reason to expect a big effort out of arizona today. nevada had a very mediocre season, but they did beat the only PAC 12 team they played this year (cal, the first game of the season).
