I will start of by saying that both of these teams are well coaches, disciplined and it should be a good game tonight. I don't see how anyone would call this their game of the year, or top bowl game pick. Hell, on ESPN's bowl mania where all you have to do is pick a winner, the average confidence in this game is 6 (with 35 being the high and 1 being the low).
I believe that BYU has the much superior defense. SEVEN times this year they have allowed a team to score only 2 TD's or less. They are monsters against the run, allowing only 2.7 ypc, and they are lights out nasty. The take pride in defense and they bring the funk every chance they get.
When looking at bowl games, the one thing that teams can shut down when they have time to prepare is the run game. That's why teams such as GT, AF, etc, lose all advantage when teams have weeks to prepare. I think BYU's defense is so stout, that with time to prepare San Diego State loses any advantage that they may have had with their run game, and I think they get smashed in the face tonight.
BYU has allowed over 400 yards of offense only once this season, and they have held teams under 300 9 out of 13 games.
I like San Diego State, think they are a good team, but they drew the wrong team for tonight's game. BYU's defense shows up, and they win this game.
BYU -3
