***HUGE PLAY ON THE FEDEX ORANGE BOWL GAME***

Just curious, did the line movement on the game factor in at all? I've noticed that following the line movement has been pretty accurate so far this bowl season.

The line movement on UNC side would have gotten you a loss if you bet it late. The late movement also would have gotten you a loss on the LSU side. Nebraska was a big line movement & won easily & so was a few other games. Line movements can be tricky when you use them solely to bet a game.

That's why i said was it a factor.  Of course one should never make a wager based on movement alone, at least someone with some sense. 

Preparing to play an option team like GT is very problematic during the regular season when you have to, for an example, prepare for a spread offense one week, and then alter your entire defensive philosophy the following week to play a GT-style option attack, and then switch back again the following week.

However, when you have a team with a front-7 as good as Iowa, and give them a month to prepare for the option attack and the cut-blocking schemes, I think the advantage pendulum swings heavily in favor of the defense.  That's exactly what happen last year when GT faced LSU after LSU's defense had almost a month to prepare.

For that reason I believe Iowa will be successful in slowing down the GT attack and, accordingly, will be low scoring affair.

Same things were said about the Navy and Air Force games and look what happened in those games.
