NCAA College Football Betting Picks 2009 Fiesta Bowl the Texas Longhorns versus the Ohio State Buckeyes

For the Texas Longhorns this was a great season that was blemished by ill-fated circumstances. The Texas Longhorns had a pair of great wins over teams like Oklahoma State and Missouri. Then the Fiesta Bowl got the first replacement pick to replace the Oklahoma Sooners and immediately took their Big XII brethren the Texas Longhorns. The Texas Longhorns are furious and they have an appropriate reason to. On October 11, 2008 the Texas Longhorns defeated the Oklahoma Sooners in the Cotton Bowl 45-35. however the Oklahoma Sooners would be in the BCS national championship three days afterwards. Texas Longhorns Quarterback Colt McCoy had a great season despite much less support than his Big 12 counterpart, Sam Bradford of the Oklahoma Sooners. Colt McCoy is third in the nation in passing efficiency at 179.2 and also leads the Texas Longhorns in rushing with 704 yards while sophomore Vondrell McGee finished second on the team with 399 yards.

The Ohio State Buckeyes got to this Fiesta bowl basically because of their name. The Ohio State Buckeyes lost to the Penn State Nittany Lions is more of a preview of things to come when they need it the most and nothing would be a better scenario for the Ohio State Buckeyes than here in the 2009 Fiesta Bowl. The Ohio State Buckeyes ended their season ranked tenth in the BCS rankings. Despite the Ohio State Buckeyes ranked 78th in total offense they on the other hand ranked 8th in total defense which could be a very vital part of their campaign in the 2009 Fiesta Bowl.

The 2009 Fiesta Bowl is a good game in which the Texans are favoured to win and another case of the good offense versus better defense for the Championship.  According to the NCAA the Ohio State Buckeyes are ranked 78th in total offense, 44th in scoring offense,  8th in total defense, and 7th in scoring defense.  The Texas Longhorns are 9th in total offense, 5th in scoring offense, 50th in total defense, and 20th in scoring defense.
