This game features two defensive minded coaches, as well as teams that have played great defense all season. Each team was at or near the top of almost every defensive statistic this season in their conference. In addition, Nebraska’s offense has been absolutely anemic this season. They have really struggled to do anything against opposing defenses, even teams with less than stellar defensive units. However, Bo Pelini’s defense has been absolutely dominant, which is why they are in this bowl game. Arizona’s offense struggled at times this season, and I expect them to struggle against a very stout Nebraska rush defense. Mike Stoops, head coach of Arizona, is great at developing defensive schemes to stop opposing offenses, and I expect him and his team to have no problem shutting down Nebraska’s weak offense. Look for this game to be very low scoring.
