On Friday the Hear Of Dallas Bowl play is on LA. Tech. Game 221 at 1:00 eastern. LA. Tech maybe from a smaller conference than Big 10 Illinois, However, they are a better team and have covered all 7 games vs teams who are bowl bound. They crushed Illinois in 2012 on the road by 28 points and have covered 3 of the last 4 bowl games. The Ilini were out yarded by nearly 160 yards vs fellow bowler and have lot 14 of 16 vs winning teams. Also of note is that bowl teams that have 6 wins and allow 33+ points cover just 20% of the time. Illinois played well in back to back upset wins to even get a bowl appearance and teams who enter off back to back dog wins are not teams we look to play on. Lay it With LA. Tech.
