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.

SUGAR BOWL CFP SEMIFINAL - ALABAMA VS OHIO STATE
Overall
BAMA - 1
OSU - 2
When BAMA Has the Ball
BAMA Run O : 8
OSU Run D : 37
BAMA Pass O : 3
OSU Pass D : 26
When OHIO STATE Has the Ball
OSU Run O : 1
BAMA Run D : 1
OSU Pass O : 1
BAMA Pass D : 26
Special Teams
BAMA : 91
OM : 20
Analysis & Prediction
The stats on the OSU offense site are really less effective in analysis since most of those were compiled with JT Barrett at QB. If Jones plays like he did against Wisconsin then you have to think OSU will have some success going up top. OSU's ground game will be much different as Jones is not the same runner Barrett is, and I don't think OSU will have much success without the QB threat running. OSU has very good receivers and Jones has a huge arm, so you can guarantee they will test the ball skill poor Alabama secondary. On the flip side, I think OSU's defense is a little better version of Missouri. Alabama has clear advantages in the run and pass game, and OSU will have issues (as does everyone) in slowing Cooper and not getting beat by others. Finally, this type of game is one where Alabama's traditional field goal woes could hurt.

No, Ray went out the 1st half the SECCG, so he won't have to sit in the 1st half of the bowl game.
