Agreed!
Always a night cap?
No idea MSST was missing most of their D today for covid. They kept it quiet. No wonder TT decided to run for the first time all year. Anyway. Thoughts on the night game.
It's a bowl game so you kinda never know who will play or which teams will show up so sometime you can just go by what you do know. WV is W/O their best Offensive player Brown. He means a lot to this teams ability to keep drives going. Now Minn fired their OC and will go with the WR coach calling the plays tonight. That's the same guy who called the plays in last years bowl game when they beat up Auburn.
WV isn't great vs the pass and while Minn is a very good running team, I see them throwing a bit more tonight. WV is OK vs the run but Minn has one of the best O Lines in football. Also the 11th ranked Defense. Only allow 18 PPG this year. Tough vs the pass and run. WV should have trouble scoring too much. Minn only avg 26 ppg themselves so could be a lower scoring game. PJ Fleck has a real ability to get his teams up for these kind of games and they are coming off a big win over Wisconsin. Everything says Minn wins. The offense can be up and down but they can run and control the game. Also Minn is + in turnovers and WV is -. If WV turns it over, and I think they will, could doom them. Might be a close but Minn is clearly the better team. Not to mention Ciarrocca spent the first 6 WV in the booth and is the new OC for Minn next year and helped them prepare for this game. I see a lot of people who think WV will score a lot. Maybe but It's a tough matchup for them
Minn-5.5

Minn doing exactly what I said and probably should be up 29-6 at half. WV will only go as far as Minn let's them tonight. Right play however this ends
