College Football Betting - Holiday Bowl Texas vs. ASU
This Holiday
Bowl game should be decided
by the play of the two quarterbacks, both
of whom have been somewhat disappointing
to their teams after so much promise. Texas
quarterback Colt McCoy has problems with
making decisions and throwing INTs, while
Arizona State quarterback Rudy Carpenter
is taking too many sacks. The college football
betting spread favors the Texas Longhorns
by just 2.5 points.
Texas Longhorns –2.5
vs. Arizona State Sun Devils +2.5
What the Sun Devils will need to do to have
a chance in this game will be to establish
the run hard and early in the game. They
have a huge offensive line whose strength
lies more in the blocking game that in pass
protection and the coaching staff needs to
be able to take advantage of this, something
that will not be easy against the nationally
tenth ranked run defense in the country.
With Keegan Herring and Dimitri Nance in
the backfield, the Sun Devils have a good
running tandem that will keep the Longhorns
defense on their toes.
Holiday Bowl @ Qualcomm Stadium: 8 PM, Thursday,
December 27, 2007
The problem for the Sun Devils is that their
offensive line is horrible at pass protection,
due to the fact that they have very little
mobility, and the Texas defensive line knows
this. Only two teams in the country have
surrendered more than the 51 sacks allowed
by the Sun Devils in just 12 games. While
the Longhorns are not known for their pass
rush, the temptation to blitz against Carpenter
will be too much for the defensive coordinators
not to give it the gold old college try.
When that happens,
Carpenter, who is accurate and possesses
a strong arm, will be trying to pick apart
the Texans weak secondary. If you bet on
college bowls, you’ll
have to decide which is stronger, the Longhorns
ability to stop the run, or the Sun Devils
ability to get the ball downfield and avoid
the sack.
