One of the key questions on the list of any football handicapper during Bowl games is "Who wants to be here"? In this game the answer is obvious. Under Mike Riley the Beavers are 5-0 in bowl games but just a few weeks ago the Beavs were playing for a shot at the Rose Bowl, now they are playing in the Las Vegas bowl instead. Has to be a major disappointment. Now BYU comes with their usual huge following to Tinsel Town with no real distractions due to "reasons". They are more experienced and they have the better QB in this game. they are playing close to the end of their regular season so their won't be a lot of rust either. The Mountain West always comes to play, especially against the bigger conferences.
