Happy New Year's Eve all! Please enjoy your night but remember to be safe.
TCU (-3) over Ol Miss
This to me is a mismatch on every level. Ol Miss was a good team that got hot and cooled off by seasons end. They lost their best WR and there is an ugly history between coach and QB in the past. Nothing sparks bad blood like losing and Ol Miss has struggled of late. On the reverse you have TCU. They were red hot of late and before the final weekend they were sitting at #3 in the playoff. Now they are in a New Year's Eve bowl. Are they motivated. Well in my opinion teams take on the emotions of the coach and Patterson isn't going to be happy about this and should look to make a statement. TCU is the nations number two scoring offense. A lot was made about the Ol Moss defense. They did give up points but this unit can play. 20 is the magic number. When Ol Moss hold a team under 20 they have won every time. That's interesting because TCU hasn't scored less than 30 all season. We have all seen Okie, Tex and WVU look bad on bowls so maybe those numbers are inflated. Still TCU has enough offense to keep Ol Miss guessing. Boykin has been playing great ball and can cause ah ok passing and running. Ol Miss will have to spy him which allows crossing routes to open in the second level. I just don't think Ol Miss has enough depth on defense to do what it has to do to stop TCU. Without Tredwill Ol Miss just is not scary on offense. TCU can play man and dial up pressure. This puts pressure on Bo Wallace and he is poor under pressure. All depends on if TCU wants to be in this game but I think they are trying to show the world they are a playoff team and the system is flawed. If they play like shit they show everyone they didn't deserve the consideration and Patterson does not want that press. TCU slowly pulls away and continues to open the gap late into the game.
TCU over 56
