Boise State vs Baylor - Motel 6 Cactus Bowl

What to Watch For

Boise State and their ever-so-efficient offense will looking to lock up an 11-win season Tuesdaynight when they take on the Baylor Bears in the 2016 Cactus Bowl. Reaching the double-digit win mark has become an expectation for the Broncos, having done so eight times in the last ten years.

Boise State's offense averaged 35-plus points per game this season, with RB Jeremy McNichols recording 27 touchdowns, No. 2 in the country. He's projected to finish Tuesday's matchup with 185 yards on 32-plus carries. He averages between two-to-three TDs per sim.

In the same way Boise State relies heavily on McNichols, Baylor will do the same with RB Terence Williams. He averages 183 yards on 31-to-32 carries, averaging 1.7 TDs per sim.
