ORANGE BOWL - MISSISSIPPI STATE VS GEORGIA TECH

Overall
MSU - 6
GT - 10

When MSU Has the Ball
MSU Run O : 5
GT Run D : 96

MSU Pass O : 8
GT Pass D : 81

When GEORGIA TECH Has the Ball
GT Run O : 4
MSU Run D : 21

GT Pass O : 6
MSU Pass D : 16

Special Teams
GT : 23
MSU : 48

Analysis & Prediction
This one could be wild. Tech's defense is really bad, but is pretty good at forcing turnovers. Prescott and Robinson should pile up yards, but Prescott's recent turnover issues could give Tech a few stops. On the flip side, Tech's offense is really good, and Justin Thomas is great in the option game and good enough in the pass game. Who knows how State will react to the triple option with a month to prepare, but you have to think Tech will still get chunks. In addition, State has had explosive play issues on defense.

MISS STATE 38 - GEORGIA TECH 28



OUTBACK BOWL - AUBURN VS WISCONSIN

Overall
AUB - 12
WIS - 17

When AUBURN Has the Ball
AUB Run O : 12
WIS Run D : 29

AUB Pass O : 2
WIS Pass D : 31

When WISCONSIN Has the Ball
WIS Run O : 10
AUB Run D : 18

WIS Pass O : 42
AUB Pass D : 47

Special Teams
WIS : 80
AUB : 79

Analysis & Prediction
Basically as good a matchup as Auburn could ask for. Wisconsin's strengths matchup with Auburn's strengths on defense and Wisconsin doesn't have the athletes to fully take advantage of the Auburn pass defense. On the flip side, Wisconsin's defense was a paper tiger all year and the last game showed it. Auburn will put a beatdown on the Badgers.

AUBURN 47 - WISCONSIN 27

CITRUS BOWL - MISSOURI VS MINNESOTA

Overall
MIZZ - 31
MINN - 35

When MIZZOU Has the Ball
MIZZ Run O : 48
MINN Run D : 30

MIZZ Pass O : 66
MINN Pass D : 43

When MINNESOTA Has the Ball
MINN Run O : 41
MIZZ Run D : 11

MINN Pass O : 51
MIZZ Pass D : 43

Special Teams
MINN : 9
MIZZ : 45

Analysis & Prediction
Has all the makings of a defensive struggle. Neither does much great on offense (I don't know Cobb's status for Minny, he is a pretty solid back) and Mizzou has a bit better D than Minnesota. However, I am assuming Ray will be out for the 1st half (could be wrong here)? Either way, should be a low scoring ballgame between two well-coached, overachieving teams.

MISSOURI 24 - MINNESOTA 17
