Game Info

December 22^nd, Las Vegas

Game Background

Another game that features a ton of fantasy stars is the Las Vegas Bowl, where you have the Rodgers Brothers of OSU on display, in addition to fantasy stars Max Hall, Harvey Unga, and Dennis Pitta on the other side for the Cougars.  This game certainly may come down to whoever has the ball last.

Oregon State Player to Watch

While the Rodgers brothers are the stars of the show, Beavers QB Sean Canfield has been stellar, showing for over 3,000 yards while tossing 21 touchdowns to only 6 picks.  While Canfield is not a dual threat QB, he has played solid and poised during the Beavers entire season and is in store for a solid fantasy day in this bowl game.

BYU Player to Watch

Harvey Unga has not had the best season, but he can make up for it with a solid game in the Vegas Bowl.  He does have 10 touchdowns and after watching Oregon rush all over the Beavers in the Civil War game, Unga must be licking his chops.  If the Cougars are to stay close, they need a solid contribution from their running game, and that is in the hands of Unga.

What Will Happen

1 minute left, team trailing by 38-34.  1 timeout left.  Now just try and figure out which team is up, and which is losing.  BYU may have the more explosive QB, however the Beavers have the best play makers on the field.  The Rodgers brothers take over and win this game and look forward to bigger things in 2010.
