Both teams will be highly motivated for this game. The loser of this game will be eliminated from the national championship...the stakes are high!
Intangibles: Last season Boise St. defeated Oregon the first game of the season. This was a strong Oregon team that went on the Rose Bowl. However, Boise played this game at home where they had a huge edge. Tonights game will be played at a "nuetral" site at Fed Ex field in Landover, Md. The playing surface will be grass which is also a disadvantage for Boise. Expect VT to run the ball effectively and gain a major edge from the large VT crowd.
Matchups: Boise State had major problems stopping Ryan Matthews and the Nevada run game last season. Look for RB Ryan Williams to run wild tonight and Tyrod Taylor to use his legs to make some big plays. Boise QB Kellen Moore is experienced will not lose his composure. He will keep them in the game and give them a solid chance to win.
The Pick: Virginia Tech is the better team all around. They will run the ball effectively and do enough on defense to slow the Boise St. offense down.
