Fresno is returning to the scene of the crime in Boise where they were systematically destroyed by Boise State 51-0. Not sure any team who takes it like that deserves a bowl game but beating Illinois at seasons end did wonders for them. Snow is predicted at 35 degrees which is a huge disadvantage for for FSU here.
I like the fact Northern Illinois lost their conference championship and a coach in the process, as they will be hell bent on redemption come noon. Their offense and running game is solid and they put up 491 yards per game their last 3 games. As an FSU backer you have to be very concerned about the Bulldogs allowing 31 ppg and 4 yards per carry its last 3 games against a team who averaged 8 yards per carry on the ground in their last 3 games, especially with your best linebacker out for this game.
