BCS Fiesta Bowl | TCU vs Boise State – Matchup & Betting Info
December 7, 2009 by Matt Lawrence ·
The 2009 Fiesta Bowl is where the TCU Horned Frogs will Play Boise State? Really, wouldn’t the better game be TCU vs Cincinatti? this would decide the question I wanted answered, which of these teams was more deserving of a title shot if the Texas Longhorns wouldn’t have pulled that last second win. As we all know the BCS is by no means perfect, but how perfect is it to have the two non BCS teams play each other in a Bowl? this protects the BCS teams from being upset.
All that said the game that we will see is TCU vs Boise State, so lets break it down and see how these two will match up. First we will look at the defenses, in two categories, yards per game and points per game.
