Marshall comes into this game off of another successful year behind coach Doc Holliday. Finishing 8-3 which one of the losses was to conference USA stud Western Kentucky. They were able to do this behind a great defense that didn't allow opponents to move the chains easily and didn't succumb to the big play and also creating turnovers and sacks. The Marshall secondary was especially very tough to pass on. Offensively Marshall was a bit stagnant relying mostly on the passing game to get them moving the chains. QB Chase Litton has been a decent so far this year for the Herd throwing 22tds and only 7 int.
Connecticut comes into this game off of a year that was mostly a success. Not many people expected they would be able to land in a bowl game the 2nd year under Bob Diaco as the talent just isn't there yet. However Diaco being the great coach he is has steered the Huskies back into a bowl. They have done it behind a disciplined defense that was able to keep an explosive Houston offense (Without Ward but still) at bay. Uconn is especially tight in the secondary. They are not a playmaking defense but they do a good job of not allowing big plays and stopping opponents from moving the chains. Offensively Uconn is a disaster hence why they are 6-6 not better. They have a very hard time moving the sticks. They rely mostly on the running game but the team just isn't successful in doing that. Everything runs through QB Shirreffs to try to make plays.
What I see happening in this game is the Marshall defense being able to make plays against this UCONN offense putting the Thundering Herd offense in good field position most of the game. Marshall ranks 9th in the country in field position. This will open up enough opportunities for the Thundering Herd offense to score a few touchdowns. Which against this UCONN offense will be enough to get a W and a cover. Therefore I will be on Marshall minus the points.

Miami comes into this game off of a disappointing season where coach Al Golden overstayed his welcome after getting blasted by Clemson. Since then however the Canes of steadied the ship pulling off two nice wins to close out the season. The Canes have been able to get it done offensively behind super efficient Qb Brad Kayaa. The kid has been fantastic in his 2nd season. Throwing for over 3000 yards and only 4 ints! The achilles heal for Miami however has been their defense. They have had a very hard time stopping the run and teams have been able to move the sticks on them with ease. Some areas that the Miami defense does excel though is against the pass and not allowing many big plays.
Washington St comes into this game off of a very successful year. Putting themselves back on the map which was expected under coach Mike Leach. Washington St has been able to get it done offensively through the vaunted Mike Leach passing game. Luke Falk has had an extraordinary year and has this offense moving the chains with ease through the air. What comes as a surprise for a passing team is that they do not have many big plays. They rely on dinking and dunking their way to the end zone with a fast pace. Defensively is where the Cougs have made some strides hence their success. They don't allow too many big plays and the Dline has been good at getting into the opponents backfield.
What I see happening in this game is both offenses will have some success. Washington St's offense is tough to stop it can only be controlled. Miami D however does have a decent secondary and I do believe they will be able to control the Cougs offense just enough for Brad Kayaa to do his thing and get the Canes enough points on the board. Miami does have a huge advantage in the field position battle ranking 45th while Washington St ranks 104. With all this said I believe in the end Miami will win this game therefore I will be on the Canes plus the 1.5.

The Huskies come into this game off of a year that started slow but has gradually gotten much better. The defense of the Huskies has been super solid all year. They are tough in all aspects not allowing opponents to do much of anything. They don't allow any big plays and teams have very limited success in moving the chains against them. Offensively is were Washington struggled this year however the last few games they have been playing much better putting up 45 on Wash St and 52 on Oregon St. They have been able to get it done behind much better QB play from Jake Browning and RB Myles Gaskin.
Southern Miss comes into this game off of a nice rebound season. They were able to win 9 games after only winning 3 a year ago. The team as gotten it done behind a big play offense. QB Nick Mullens has had a big year throwing for 36 tds and over 4000 yards. The offense relies on big plays to put up points on the board. They are not particularly good at sustaining drives and moving the football down the field however. Defensively Southern Miss was decent but they were susceptible to the big play. When they didn't allow big plays they were good at not allowing teams to drive down the field.
What I see in this game is Washington's defense being way too tough for Southern Miss to score on. The Huskies behind improved offensively play should be able to move the football against the Eagles and I don't see Southern Miss having any answers. Chris Peterson will have Washington fired up to close the season on a high note and I can easily see a blowout here.

Does the two players suspension for the U make a big difference in the outcome?

I love your write ups! I'm the person who said I was better than you on New Year's Eve! I actually like your card and think you will go 3-0. The only game I worry about is Mia because the public hit on Marshall at 63% and he public is on wash st at 64%. I know Vegas can't pay both wash and over, but I feel it's another public day because Vegas is in a generous mood and I love to break books and make there voice sound like they have a cold every time I place my wise guy plays. Lol
