(8) Kansas Jayhawks (11-1) vs. (5) Virginia Tech Hokies (11-2)
Dolphin Stadium - Miami, Florida
Bowl Records:
Kansas (4-6 -- 0-2 in Orange Bowl)
Virginia Tech (7-13 -- 0-1 in Orange Bowl)
Tonight?s battle should be an exciting display between these two ACC teams. Kansas high power offense, second in the nation in scoring averaging 44.3 point per game and a solid defense will be squaring off against Virginia Tech?s powerful defense, ranking 4th in rushing defense and 5th in total defense, with a sound offense. Expecting this clash to be decided in the fourth quarter, Todd Reesing and squad will have the Hokies? defense spread out and will connect with his talented arsenal of receivers both in the air and ground, but Virginia Tech will be wearing them down and at the end the Hokies? relentless tough defense will be in charge.
Virginia Tech Hokies -3.5
