The weather at Yankee Stadium is typical December conditions on the East Coast with a kickoff in the mid-20's but dry. The dry conditions assist the Boston College passing attack versus a good Iowa run defense.
There isn't a lot of analysis that would breakdown advantages vs. disadvantages for either side in this contest. Both schools have had big win(s) in 2017. BC taking down the likes of Louisville, Virginia, Florida State and closing with an easy win in New York against the Orange.
The Hawkeyes haven't been the same since putting a rout on the Ohio State Buckeyes. These two schools, have for the most part, gone in opposite directions with team performance over the course of the last month of the regular season slate.
Head coach Steve Addazzio’s Eagles and their backers took advantage of a soft betting market and scored big with wins and covers across the last two months of the season.
BC was crushed early in the year, Week 3 and 4, with losses against Notre Dame and Clemson, allowing 900 rushing yards in total. But the two aforementioned clubs were both considered Final Four worthy with Clemson actually earning the top seed in this year's CFP.
The Hawkeyes will not attempt to be something they are not. They will run the football with Akrum Wadley,
The Eagles are much more balanced than that of Ferentz led Iowa. They sport the legs of tailback A.J. Dillon.
The Eagles, however, are much more capable of keeping opposing defenses honest and that is the key to tonight's win at Yankee Stadium. The ACC is a league that more resembles the Big 12, geared toward speed.
The Big 10 in contrary with old school smash mouth football.
With the weather being dry tonight in New York the advantage goes to the team that should be the favorite in this game, the BC Eagles.
Iowa has not been good in bowl game under Coach F the last half decade (0-5) and in truth the Hawkeyes don’t deserve the favorite’s role in this event. They are uber-restricted to being unpredictable and are limited at the skill positions.
The crowd in this contest will be pro-Eagles and that makes a difference in a game that means much more to the BC squad than that of Iowa
