BYU -3 Thursday night!!
I'm on it already. Look to get on this soon as the line is sure to climb. BYU -3 in the Las Vegas Bowl!!
Quarterback John Beck has had a great year for BYU The Mountain West offensive player of the year has reduced his interceptions from 13 to six this season. Beck completed more than 70 percent of his passes while finishing among the country's top 10 in passing yardage (3,510) and touchdown passes (30).
He will oppose a Ducks defense that allowed an average of 34 points and nearly 350 total yards during a three-game losing streak to close the regular season. However, Oregon did finish with the best pass defense in the Pac-10, allowing 156.7 yards per game.
The Ducks (7-5) are looking to avoid a fourth straight loss overall and in bowl games. They haven't won one since beating Colorado 38-16 in the Fiesta Bowl five years ago. Their only appearance in the Las Vegas Bowl - in its 15th year of existence - was a 41-13 rout of Air Force in 1997.
Take that and the instability Oregon has at QB and it adds up to what I'm seeing as BYU by at least 10!!
