OVERALL BOWL SEASON (23-11)
Anyway...
This will be my BIGGEST play of the bowl season.
A battle of undefeated teams from 2 Non BCS conferences (WAC vs MWC), and a rematch of the Poinsettia Bowl from last year.

Just typed a long write up and it would not post, so I am gonna try to copy any paste in pieces...
I have been saying for years, the Mountain West is one of the most underrated conferences in football. The conference as a whole really did themselves a disservice when they canceled their contract with ESPN to do Thursday night football and moved their games to “The Mountain” and “VS”. This really took away national attention to the conference, since many people don’t get The Mountain, or just don’t care.
I think most of us have seen

As good as
The LB are led by Butkus semi-finalist, Daryl Washington, who plays fast and is always around the ball. (This guy caught CJ Spiller from behind this year). They only allow teams to run an average of 2.5 yards per carry. TCU ranks #10 vs the run and #3 vs the pass. Their secondary is very fast and very aggressive.
On offense for TCU they are a run 1st, pass 2nd, and are very efficient. They average almost 41 points per game. They don’t turn the ball over, and pretty much have a 3 headed monster in the backfield. (Three RB’s have over 500 yards rushing). Joseph Turner is their featured back, who has 730 yards and 11 TD. Believe me though, they have a pretty good mix and quality rotation, which means they always have a fresh back on the field.

QB Andy Dalton is very mobile and has over 500 yards rushing as well (So, basically they have 4 guys over 500 yards). And all the RB’s average over 5 yards per carry. The O-Line is extremely athletic and creates huge running lanes.
On special teams, both teams have an “X” factor in return men Jeremy Kerley (TCU) and Titus Young (BSU). Both can flip field position in a hurry.
This will be the key to game. How does BSU try to stop TCU’s rushing attack, and IF they can. Personally, I don’t think they will be able to. The Horned Frogs are for REAL and should have gotten a shot at
I believe BYU and
The only way this game is close, is if TCU comes out flat and not ready to play (which could happen).
I have seen a bunch of quotes early from TCU players stating their disappointment for not playing in a better bowl, against anyone not named
He was quoted, “That's what I told them, I said our whole deal is we're going to have to show the nation in this next bowl game that we belong, that we're one of the top two teams in the nation," Patterson said. "You can still win the AP, so that's what our whole goal is within the next month, to try to get ourself against a very good opponent, which is going to be hard to do anyway because they're a very good opponent." TCU should be up for this game.

So you think that two teams who played last year to a standstill now have 20 points of seperation? I think you are crazy. Boise State always gets up for big games and this should be a tight one just like last year.
ABSOLUTELY...TCU dominated that game yardage wise, just did not get the TD's. The difference this year; TCU's run game is MUCH improved and BSU defense is not as good.
