Result: Loss

Today's winner is Tulsa/BYU OVER. This is my NCAAF Bowl Total of the Year.

BYU won 9 of their L10 while Tulsa won 7 of their L8. The Cougars have played to 5 OVERS in their L6 outings, posting 38, 56, 28, 42, 42, and 41 points. The Golden Eagles are led by 5th year senior QB, GJ Kinne (2812 YP and 25 TDs) and RB, Ja'Terian Douglas (who leads the nation with a 8.2 YPC average). This is the 23rd ranked offense in the country in scoring with 34.1 PPG and yards with 454.4 YPG. Tulsa has a slew of weapons. Douglas and Trey Watts have both rushed for 800 plus yards. Willie Carter has 61 catches for 868 yards. Kicker, Kevin Fitzpatrick is 15-17 on the season and is the team's leading scorer with 296 points. BYU QB, Riley Nelson is 5-1 as a starter with 16 TDs and 376 yards rushing. Cody Hoffman has 53 receptions for 821 yards. Defense has been a problem for both squads. Tulsa has the 90th ranked "D" and leaks as much as the BYU defense. Tulsa has won 3 straight Bowl games, averaging 56.7 PPG. BYU has won 4 of their L5 Bowl games and will try to win 10 games for the 5th time in 6 years. This will be a very high scoring game. Take the OVER. Thank you.
