Pretty damn good predictionMy prediction: A high scoring shootout either team can win. I will say OSU wins 42-37. Utes will score a bunch because their strength (running attack) is OSU weakness (stopping the run). OSU will score a bunch because they have the top offense in the country. #1 in points per game at 45.5 (iirc) and #1 in yards per game (500 plus. cant remember the exact amount but something like 530 per game iirc) and most effecient offense in the country.
Special teams could be an x-factor. This could be Coveys shining moment of his career and go out with a bang.
Should be a good game.

Lol I just saw your post after my last post. I wish I would have bet on the overPretty damn good prediction
Little bit of a heartbreaker.Great game utes. Ute fans should keep their heads up.
Gotta give em hella props. They were not supposed to be there and once they got there they weren't supposed to win and damn near did.It seems like Utah never wins when they have the first chance to do something. First time to win South - lose. First time to win Pac-12 - lose, First time to win rose bowl - lose. Mabye we'll win a rose bowl down the line. Still gotta give props to the players for at least getting there.
They should be in the conversation next year as well. Will be tougher with a target on your back. But another year with Cam Rising and company is a good thing.Gotta give em hella props. They were not supposed to be there and once they got there they weren't supposed to win and damn near did.

True. However Ohio state was the best offense in the country and utah played their butts off and nearly pulled the upset. Great showing. BYU lost a close game that they should have won but I think they were pretty disappointed in the bowl, the city they played in, and the opponent plus had a monsoon hit right before the game. Everything I heard from BYU fans who made the trek to shreveport was that shreveport is a **** hole and the weather was horrible and it was just a depressing place to be. I think the players felt that way too.Great year for football in Utah, although 1 win of the 3 bowl games is a bit of a bummer.
Ohio State is good, and it showed with the high level of play with 24 scholarship players out including four key starters opting out to avoid injury for the draft. It almost feels unfair with how much talent some teams get.True. However Ohio state was the best offense in the country and utah played their butts off and nearly pulled the upset. Great showing.

Utah state on the other hand wasn't supposed to have a chance against SDSU in the championship game and they beat the odds and balled out and brought emotion and momentum into their bowl game against a middle tier pac12 opponent in a very down year for the pac 12.
I don't care who wins but I do care about the game and am excited to watch it. Both teams are amazing with tons of talent. The two best teams in college football going head to head will always get me excited. I like football anyways but especially when it's the best of the best. Get to see a bunch of future NFL guys in that game going head to head for a championship. Should be a great game and very entertaining.So... is there anybody out there that isn't part of the SEC fanbase that gives a rat's *** about who wins between Alabama and Georgia?
