Frisco Bowl Prediction

The Big 12 is the better conference, but West Virginia is lucky to be in a bowl game at all, as they are not a good team. Memphis has a potent offense led by Henigan and they should put up a lot of points in this game against a suspect West Virginia defense. Perhaps the Mountaineers can score a few points of their own, but it shouldn’t matter, as Memphis is the superior team and should win this one going away.
