Sun Bowl


Dec. 31, 2007

Prediction: Oregon vs. Texas Tech

Pac-10 no. 3 vs. Big 12/Big East/Notre Dame

Analysis:

Running back Jonathan Stewart will have a good year as expected, but this year's improvement by Oregon will be due to quarterback Dennis Dixon's continued development. With another year of experience under his belt, Dixon will see last year's 12 to 14 touchdown to interception ration improve dramatically.

Texas Tech will build off of last year's 31 point comeback win against Minnesota in the Insight Bowl. If you thought quarterback Graham Harrell's stats were impressive last year, they should be even better this year after a season's worth of experience. Harrell loses his top two receivers from last year, but experienced running back Shannon Woods should help to take off some of the pressure.
