One of the things that is also significant for the BYU side is the fact that they will be missing Jamaal Williams, their running back who suffered a knee injury during the game with Middle Tennessee that put him out for the rest of the season. BYU would love to move the chains and control the football, but they only averaged 28 minutes of possession this season.
USA Online & Live football Betting Asian Sportsbook customers know that while BYU is a regular in bowl games, no one on the Memphis team is ever been in post-season action. The last time the Tigers made into a bowl game was December 2008, so this is a rather significant event. This season they did not perform badly on the bigger stage against higher-profile opponents. They were narrowly beaten by UCLA at the Rose Bowl, and were within 7-3 of Ole Miss in the fourth quarter before folding up. The Tigers also manhandled Cincinnati 41-14 and lost by only four points to Houston, despite turning the ball over five times. That was quite unusual for this team, which as a +12 turnover margin against Division I competition.
College football bettors will want to take note that both of these teams defend the run very well; Memphis allows just 3.6 yards per carry, while BYU is even more difficult (3.3).
It is likely that USA Online & Live Betting Asian Sportsbook patrons will be getting their first look at Paxton Lynch, the 6′ 7″ quarterback for the Tigers, who has gone without an interception during Memphis’ six-game winning streak. He is 64% accurate, and he can also run with the football. The really good news is that he’ll be back next year. And Memphis has a chance of getting some balance in this offense, with hard-working tailback Brandon Hayes (900 yards rushing). . Coach Justin Puente, who was in his third year at the school, is one of those “hot” commodities whose name is mentioned in association with some of the bigger coaching vacancies. He was listed as one of the finalists for the national coach of the year award.
