Russell Athletic Bowl
No. 16 West Virginia (10-2, 7-2 Big 12) vs. Miami (8-4, 5-3 ACC)
5:30 p.m., ESPN
Camping World Stadium, Orlando, Fla.

Average Line: Miami, -3

Miami is in big need of a win in this game. West Virginia is a scrappy bunch on defense, but, Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya should be able to handle the presssure that the Mountaineers bring. I was torn over this game, but, I’m going to go with WVU. Mark Richt has a knack for losing the big game.

Score prediction: 31-24 WVU

Players to watch:

Ahmmon Richards (WR) MIA

Skylar Howard (QB) WVU

Mark Walton (RB) MIA
