Las Vegas Bowl, America's Favorite City
Oregon offensive coordinator Crowton used to be head coach at BYU, compiling 26-23 record, but he was 12-2 his first year, then didn't have another winning season; when in Provo, he did hire current BYU coach Mendenhall as defensive coordinator, so there is strong connection between these teams.
This game is first Las Vegas Bowl in at least six years where the Mountain West team is favored over the Pac-10 team; in last 5 Vegas bowls, Pac-10 team was 3-2, with BYU losing 35-28 last yr but covering vs California. Game was sold out before Ducks got in it, so BYU will have lot of fans there, at Mountain West field where they play every other year normally.
Oregon had QB issues down stretch of season, losing last three games while allowing 34 ppg. Leaf played vs Oregon State, but Oregon was better team when Dixon played earlier; remember, it was Oregon that got benefit of bad calls at home when it got an upset win vs Oklahoma in September; they gained 501 yards vs Oklahoma with Dixon under center. Ducks lost last three bowls, to Wake Forest, Minnesota, Oklahoma,a nd they were favored in two of those three gwmes.
BYU lost opener at Arizona, and in OT at Boston College, but did not lose again; they covered seven games in row after BC game, then didn't cover its last two wins (42-17 vs New Mexico, 33-31 vs rival Utah, in game underdog always covers).
Oregon plays in better league, played better schedule, has more experienced head coach, but they had tumultuous season, while BYU had a great year. Cougars have senior QB. if I had to do a little investing int his game, I'd look at the over.
