We don't like coaching changes in bowl games, especially this one. In past Mobile Bowl games when interims took over for their respective departed coaches, they lost. However, this is a veteran CM team with much senior leadership on both sides of the ball, including at QB. Sr. Dan LeFevour, who is a dual threat with his feet and arm, has two big time receivers to work a shaky Troy secondary with. Bryan Anderson (6'5") should pose a matchup problem vs Troy's undersized corners. Furthermore, the Chippewas' defense is a veteran unit that is capable of limiting the damage that Levi Brown and company did on Sun Belt opponents this season. We do realize that the MAC hasn't fared well this bowl season but CM should be tuned in here. The Chippewas are 8-2-1 ATS as a small favorite, 4-1 ATS on Wednesdays, and 7-1 ATS on grass while the Trojans have struggled in non conference play at 1-4 ATS.
