Memphis vs West Virginia
(NCAAF) Tigers (MEM) vs. Mountaineers (WVU),
Point Spread: 5.00 | -112.00 Mountaineers (WVU) (Home)
Result: Push
Consensus opinion seems to be that Memphis will come out firing tonight in Frisco after a fast finish to the season and a rousing win over Tulane in the reg-season finale. Gunslinger QB Seth Henigan (3208 YP) finishes his career tonight and has won bowl starts the past two seasons. But we've seen too many minor bowls in the past where there has been no carryover from the end of the regular season. And we admit some intrigue with WVU, which is in the process of bringing in a new coach (Rich-Rod; in his case also an old Mountaineer coach), and are impressed that few Mounties have entered the portal before this bowl, suggesting a buy-in for interim HC Chad Scott and a chance to impress the new Rodriguez regime.
