Robert Guliano on why Central Michigan will win: Because quarterback Dan Lefevour is the girl-next-door of big, white, duel-threat quarterbacks. He is a Tim Tebow that nobody hates. His bi-polar style of play has fueled the Chippewas to an 11-win season as he has led his team in rushing and passing. He has had a fabulous college career and may be primed for a stellar NFL one as well.
CMU Players to Watch:
3. Dan Lefevour personality #2- When he gets pressured, look for him to run, hard.
2. Dan Lefevour personality #1- Lefevour looks to pick apart a presumably weak Sun Belt defense all night.
1. Coach Butch Jones- Revision: Ex-Coach Butch Jones- Jones has already fled the scene at CMU in favor of Cincinnati but will stick around to coach his great quarterback through one more bowl game. Cincinnati's move to hire a successful Central Michigan head coach is eerily similar to the hire of Brian Kelly. And we all know how that worked out for them.
Brandon Hickey on why Troy will win: Troy seems to always have a stellar record, until you realize they play in the Sun Belt Conference. They didn't beat a bowl-eligible team and got thumped by Florida 56-6. Ouch. I also love the name of their conference. Because it would be politically incorrect to call it the Bible Belt, which it truly is (Arkansas to Florida), they call it the Sun Belt because it is in the South where it's warm. I think the Mid-American Conference should be renamed the Snow Belt.
Troy players to watch:
3. The Secondary-Someone has to stop LeFevour, and these guys gotta do it.
2. QB Levi Brown-Brown threw for almost 4,000 yards this season and 22 touchdowns. That's over two-and-a-fourth miles.
1. WR Cornelius Williams-Williams was one of the stars on MTV's show Two-a-days, which followed the Hoover High School football team in Alabama. Williams has done well for himself, but Ross Wilson hasn't been heard from since.
The Compromise: Central Michigan has a fever, and the only prescription is passing. Chipps 35-14.
