BOWL PREVIEW: BGSU/ Idaho

Bowling Green and Idaho face off in the Humanitarian Bowl in a game that may be inhumane to even watch let alone handicap, but as I have said before it is bowl season and if you must.....Points should not be hard to come by in this one as both teams have worn out light bulbs on scoreboards all year. BG comes in with the nations 8th ranked pass offense and college footballs best receiver you probably never heard of, Freddie Barnes. So far this season he has 138 receptions, five shy of an NCAA record set by Houston's Manny Hazard in 1989. Idaho has been no slouch in the passing game either ranking 11th nationally. They may have as slight advantge offensively because they run the ball much better than the Falcons at 160 yds. per game while the BG defense has been horrible allowing nearly 200 yds. per game on the ground. Conversely, Idaho pass defense has been awful and will have trouble stopping Barnes and company. This game will be a home game of sorts for the Vandals, it will be played on the smurf turf of Bronco Stadium in Boise. Flip a coin here, I will take what seems to be obvoius (which is usually dangerous) and take the total to go over.
