The Sundevils are in somewhat of a letdown mode mentally as they are disappointed not to be playing in a BCS bowl. The money has been moving in Texas’s direction moving the line from Texas -1 to -2.5 currently with the final number likely to close at -3 or higher. Both of these teams are pass oriented squads that will be playing in offense friendly San Diego in good weather conditions. Both teams are stout against the run so the team that can move the ball through the air will most likely have a huge advantage. SBGglobal.com has the TOTAL at 62 points.

Texas is particularly strong up the middle with giant run stuffing tackles Derek Lokey and Frank Okam pugging up running lanes. Arizona But too often the Longhorns sell out to stop the run while restricting their pass-rush. Arizona St. QB Rudy Carpenter is an elite player with a group of talented receivers in ASU’s spread attack including 6-4 208 red-zone threat Michael Jones and sure handed Chris McGaha who cause match-up problems for the Longhorns 111th ranked pass defense. Complimenting the passing game is a trio of talented ASU backs that features shifty Keegan Herring and banger Ryan Torain. The problem for Carpenter is that he has been running for his life most of the year behind an awful O-line that has allowed 51 sacks.

  The Texas offense main weapon is RB Jamaal Charles who used his sprinters speed to rush for 1,458 yards and 16 TD’s. Running room for Charles could be hard to find however against a speedy Sundevils defense that is allowing only 102.7 yards per game on the ground. Texas QB Colt McCoy is a threat with both his arm 3,129 yards passing and his feet 408 yards rushing, but he must limit his turnovers 18 INT’s. Dennis Erickson vs Mack Brown should be the key behind the scenes match-up between to great coaches going head to head. Which one of these teams will have the better aerial attack to have the edge?
