Lot of time invested in these numbers. Thanks and Good luck
USC vs. Boston College..
Some stats...
USC Offensive Breakdown:
Points Scored: 64
Total Yards: 58
Pass Yards: 68
Rush Yards: 40
BC Defensive Breakdown
Points Allowed: 18
Total yards allowed:23
Pass Yards Allowed:54
Rush Yards Allowed: 15
Analysis: USC offense has stalled as of late. They have averaged 20 points per game over the last 5 games. Boston college has a very good run defense. If they can shut down the run early, it may force Barkley to throw more often then they want. Boston College then could possibly force the freshman to make some mistakes. No significant advantage one way or another here.
BC Offensive Breakdown:
Points Scored: 71
Total Yards: 97
Pass Yards: 84
Rush Yards: 70
USC Defensive Breakdown
Points Allowed: 22
Total yards allowed: 42
Pass Yards Allowed:52
Rush Yards Allowed: 42
Analysis: Boston College offense is not very good, although they have averaged 24 points over their last 6. I don't expect the BC offense to have a lot of sucess. IF they come out and air it out early and surprise them, I think that may be their best bet. I think this game will depend solely on turnovers and special teams. Who ever can get the most points off of those, I think wins the game.

Analysis: I'd take a long hard look at this section. With the lack of offense, the little things like these will play an even bigger roll. For example, BC is better in both Kick return yards for them and against then USC. That could mean say an avg of 10 yards better for BC then USC, so that would take on a bigger significance when there is lack of offense. Also, BC is much better in the penalty category. BC does not put them in 2 and 20 situations which would be almost impossible to pick up in this game. And then we get to the Red Zone touchdowns and field goals. BC defense does not allowe many touchdowns in the red zone. In a low scoring affair like this, getting touchdowns when you get in the red zone is huge. BC will be able to hold USC to field goals. Furthermore, BC has the better field goal kicker.
Final Analysis: This will be an ugly game. I just see nothing that will warrant USC winning big. You also have to look at who wants to be here. BC is probably THRILLED to go to a bowl game in California and escape the cold, while USC doesn't leave its home state. Also, will USC really get pumped up to play in the Emerald bowl after so many BCS bowls in a row? Have they already declared this a lost season? I think its a possibility. I think USC does just enough to squeak out the victory, but not enough to cover.

Kentucky Defensive Breakdown
Points Allowed: 44
Total yards allowed:60
Pass Yards Allowed: 18
Rush Yards Allowed: 100
Analysis: Kentucky has a pretty good Defense. It has a great Pass D, but a iffy Run D. Spiller could run all over these guys, but if they can fill the box then I think they have a chance. They held Ingram to 140 (I know not great, but just setting a basis). I expect Clemson to get their punches in against Kentucky, but I don't expect them to run wild against them.

Total Yards: 90
Pass Yards: 114
Rush Yards: 21
Clemson Defensive Breakdown
Points Allowed: 26
Total yards allowed:22
Pass Yards Allowed: 11
Rush Yards Allowed: 70
Analysis: This could be tough for Kentucky. Kentucky has a bad passing game but a solid running game. Clemson has a really good pass defense but a bad run defense. They have allowed an avg of 278 rush yards in the last two games. If Kentucky can run early and often on Clemson, that will force Clemson to load the box and then Kentucky has a chance to use the passing game. I expect the play action to be very succesful for Kentucky.

Do you have a lean on the UCF Rutgers game? I'm waffling a bit in that game...

Georgia Defensive Breakdown
Points Allowed: 70
Total yards allowed:30

Rush Yards Allowed: 41
Analysis: While Texas A&M does have a good offense, they will not be able to score on Georgia like they have on some Big 12 defenses. There scoring numbers are helped considerably by the average of 45 points they put up against Utah State, New Mexico and UAB. I do think they will be able to score on Georgia, I do not think they will be able to meet their season scoring average.

Texas A&M does not have these stats
Other: Georgia has solid special teams. Also come away with points a lot more often then A&M does when they get in the red zone. Other then that, not much to take here.
Final: I expect Georgia to roll. Their coming in hot with their victory over tech. In their last 4 games they are scoring an average of 33.25 points. Texas A&M did play Texas tough, but I feel like they are getting a lot of respect based off that game only. You have to remember this team has lost by more then 28 points 3 times and lost to Colorado. They lost to Oklahoma 65-10 and Kansas State 62-14 (note two of the better defenses they have faced). I feel like Georgia will be able to get out to an early lead and just not let off the gas and dominate A&M.

Analysis: Wisconsin defense is underrated in my mind. They have 33 sacks this year and Miami has allowed 30. They also have forced 15 interceptions. If Wisconsin can get some pressure and force the young Harris to get rid of the ball a little earlier then he wants to good things can happen for Wisconsin. If Harris makes mistakes early and try to run, I don't expect them to have sucess against this run d.

Analysis: Wisconsin's offense is better then some think it is i think. They can keep up in a high scoring affair. Clay is an absolute beast and Tolzien is efficent. This should be a prety good matchup between these two units.
