BCS Bowl Predictions 3/5
Jan 2, 8:30pm FOX, The Fiesta Bowl, #9 WVU (10-2) vs #4 Oklahoma (11-2)
Here’s all you need to know about this game. It’s not going to be pretty. Oklahoma had all year to think about how Boise State embarrassed them last year with the 43-42 thriller. In case they began to forget, Boise State’s quarterback grazed the cover of NCAA 2008. That can’t be a good feeling for Oklahoma players or fans. The Sooners offense will be too much for WVU’s 3-3-5 defense to handle. Furthermore, the WVU offense won’t rack up the yards on the ground the way they did against other teams this year. We’re talking about Oklahoma… not Louisville or Rutgers. These players are big, fast, ferocious, and will sniff out the run early. That means Pat White will have to win this game with his arm. The chances of that happening aren’t slim… the chances of that happening are NONE. With Rich Rodriguez being gone, the special teams will probably not have the intensity it had all season.
In short, Oklahoma will blow out WVU and you might want to find something else to watch by 9:30pm.
