hawaii-bowl-logo-2012

 

Who: Fresno State Bulldogs (9-3) vs SMU Mustangs (6-6)

Where: Aloha Stadium

When: Monday, December 24th, 8 PM EST

TV: ESPN

Line: Fresno State by 12

Ross: Outside of their shocking win over Tulsa at the end of the season, SMU's four C-USA wins came against a collection of teams that went a combined 12-36 this year. So playing a game against a good Fresno State team with a potent offense (40.3 ppg, 12th in the nation) and a good defense (22.3 ppg, 27th in the nation) is probably not what they were looking for. The game is a homecoming for former Hawaii coach (and current SMU coach) June Jones, but Fresno State is not going to make it a happy one. Derek Carr, Robbie Rouse, and Davante Adams are going to absolutely romp in this game.

FRESNO STATE 42, SMU 21
 
 
Kevin: Strange things happen in bowl games but I think that Fresno State has been too good this year to slip up here and lose to an inferior SMU team. If you like points, this is the game for you.
