What will happen: Davis and the passing game will keep the game interesting for three quarters, but Ball State won’t have any answers for a Rutgers offense that’ll move up and down the field with little resistance. If this happens to be Rice’s final game as an amateur, it’ll be a memorable one highlighted by 150 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.

Ball St. - Defense allows an average of 418 yds of offense per game. They allow 197 yds per game on the ground that cannot be good for Ball St with Ray Rice coming in to test them.
The good thing for Ball St is that they know they are terrible against the run so I'm pretty sure with all the time they had to prepare for this game they worked on a few things to slow Rice down.
The bad thing is that once Ball St focus is on the run Rutgers will open up the passing game.
Rutgers - The defense allowed a troubling 155.9 rushing yards per game. Last seasons front 7 of Rutgers is gone and replaced by younger players that has not faired well at stopping the running game this season. Ball St might actually find their running game against this Rutgers defense to open up their potent passing attack.
Overall
IMHO The better balanced offensive team is Rutgers. Rutgers defense also matches well with Ball St's passing game Rutgers strength on defense is defending the pass allowing only an average of 160 yds per game. That's pretty good considering Rutgers have faced USF’s Matt Grothe, West Virginia’s Pat White, and Cincinnati’s Ben Mauk. Now Rutgers will face an outstanding sophomore QB Nate Davis in this match up. Key word though in there is " sophomore ". These younger Qb's in the Bowl games have not started the games off on the right note.
I have yet to get my final lines on this but unless the numbers I get is way off I'm leaning on taking Rutgers at the half and the over. The over just in case I'm way off as usual and both defenses don't show up for this game.

BD -- Rutgers D faced Brian Brohm in their last game of the season also. DaVille came back big and won in the 4th qtr of that game. Brohm had a below avg game and it looks like the Cardinals stuck w/ thr run even when they were down.

also, BSU lost their best RB early this season and by seasons end was down to their 4th stringer (I think). w/ the time off before bowl game, I'm sure the 2nd and 3rd stringers will be back.
also, read somewhere that Rutgers best WR Britt was dinged up. QB Teel mentioned he's the most healthy he's been all season.

I overlooked Brohm due to my usually faithful Louisville at the half plays this season killed me this season.
But true that was one of the things that I mentioned above that I'm afraid of Ball St running the ball on Rutgers weak run defense to open up their potent passing attack.
Britt is also a key to their offense but still have faith in the other WR Underwood who also had over a 1,000 yds receiving as well.
One thing though, I need Rutgers to utilize the run a lot more than the pass. I cannot have Rutgers go into passing mode early as a lot of these QB's are coming out flat in their passing game.
Another thing is that Ball St has a outstanding QB but still a sophomore and I'm not sure if he will handle the pressure well. We seen what happened with the other young QB's in bowl games this season. The tough passing defense of Rutgers will make him pay if he leaves any window of opportunity for them.
Overall not as easy as it looks to pick but Rutgers have been good to me in the first half plays this season in certain situations this looks like one of them. ( pending the line )
Good luck to you my friend

Our (U.S.A) democracy is perverted by open bribery on capital hill.
George Bush's brother help the Reps steal not one but TWO election that
have made a select few very wealthy while killing our younger
generation(s), and driving down the greater populace of the world.
BUT Frank Beamer kept the order by suspending Brandon Ore, and thereby
taking the Hokie running game out of the 1st quater oF this game. Why?
'B/c Beamer plays by the rules?' B/c "coach rules w/ an iron first yo"?
B/c if he hadn't have suspended Ore for that quarter, it would've led to anarchy.
No. The fact is Beamer is an a.s.s.hole of the highest magnitude. He
thought, "hey, we're gonna whoop KU anyway. They're No. 8, and *we're*
No. 3". "Sh!t, we should be playing LSU on Monday. This one is in the
bad".
Beamer did what he did to satisfy his own ego. He didn't do it, "b/c
the man is a teacher first" or *any* of the BS. The guy gets paid to
coach football. And the proof as to weather he is a "good" coach, is
that his team wins. Not just win "run of the mill games", but win "the
big game(s)".
VT could've failed to cover in this game and I would've been fine w/
losing my cash, b/c it still would've been uplifting to see Tech win a
big game when the whole country (w/ exceptiong to Kansas) was cheering
for them and wanting to see them succeed.
Alas, I failed to account for Beamer and his idiotic choices. You could
pin that loss on the team, and certainly they played their part.
However, as w/ any sport, it's all about momentum.
By the time VT finally scored (surprise surprise, Ore scored when he was allowed ot play) the game had all but been decided.
Thanks a lot and F_CK YOU Beamer. Hopefully VT comes to it's senses and fires your troglodyte a.s.s.

Most everyone believes that Rutgers will win because of the points they will put up with the running game and such...well ball st. will get some in as well so why not hit the over hard...i think this one will be in the 60s for sure...im 7-2 this week and the only loss i had was a straight up under in the WV game and a par WVU/under which was still ok cause i love WVU so i made back the money the next day....anyways just look at the stats on the totals for both teams...they hit the over more often this year....dime play of the day UNDER 61.5

I think a stat most have overlooked is that Ball St is a pass happy offense Rutgers was second in the nation against the pass this year. This will lead to a Rutgers win along with Rice and Teel being inspired by Schiano to try and right this year and set up steam for next. This leads to a Rutgers cover. The only way Ball St covers is the good ol' team with nothing to lose making big special teams plays, onside kicks and fake punts, and quick scores.

Ball St +11 (bowl season most dogs wins no matter what you guys think) it's all about money not a good team or bad team. look at the Kansas Vs VT, WV vs OK,

Not sure, I got a bunch of parlays I put in yesterday where all the teams already cashed except rutgers... I am trying to decide if I should just counter bet myself and take half the winnings, or if I should let it ride.
I'm out hurr in the dirty jerz an lemme tell you, rutgers fans are pumped even though its not the bowl they were looking for.
Rice is playin for his draft pick number, I expect a few TD's today from him alone.
QB is healthy, and the WR is playing, that should help with the assault on offense.
Rutgers pass D is incredible so I dont expect many receiving yards today, which should limit their scoring ability... And well, ball st doesnt have a guy named Rice so I dont expect much rushing penetration either.
Lettin the money moola fetta chedda mozzarella etc etc ride on rutgers.

Ball St. +11 (2 units) vs. Rutgers - both of these teams are traveling to Canada to make an appearance in the International Bowl. It's a good thing this game kicks off at noon because no one would watch it if it was any later. The attendance will be sparce up there in Canadia as well as the TV ratings. Both teams have a good offense and Rutgers has Ray Rice. I know Ball St. can put up points and that's why I'm taking them. I'm not sure how either defense is but I don't think it matters too much since neither are top notch, they are both basically average so scoring shouldn't be a problem here.
