The Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl on Sunday, January ninth is a matchup between Nevada's racing attack and the Boston College run defense. Nevada is a big fave in college football probabilities but the matchup might actually like Boston College. Whereas the Boston press might have you believe BC got selected for the lowest of the low of ACC bowls, it's a fairly great matchup considering BC will take on a squad with the second-highest week 15 BCS ranking of any ACC bowl adversary. The quality of the adversary is reflected in the beginning point spread: the Eagles open as a 9 1/2 point long shot. Actually? That much. Whereas it's correct I'm an unabashed homer, that seems a big high, no? Nevada -9, total 55 at the internet sportsbook - This line seems truly high considering Boston College has the best run defense in the country. The one point that Nevada does truly well is run the ball but they're going to be dealing with a BC defense that granted only 72.7 rushing yards per game this year. Nevada is third overall in total offense and third in rushing offense. They are led by Colin Kaepernick who is a dual threat but is primarily known for his racing. The Wolfpack furthermore have Vai Taua who landed 22 TDs this year. Nevada will be racing into a defense led by linebackers Mark Herzlich and Luke Kuechly. The 2 led a BC defense that was solid all year. Kuechly led the country with 171 tackles this year. BC furthermore likes to run the ball with running backs Montel Harris and freshman Andre Williams. Nevada's defense was nothing extraordinary this year so Boston College should manage to move the ball on the ground and score points in this game despite the fact that they merely landed more than 26 points one time this year. Match Facts - BC will be competing at AT&T Park in a bowl game for the 2nd consecutive year. They lost last year 24-13 to USC in the Emerald Bowl.
