I'm going with Marshall in this spot, UTEP has not won a season finale since 1986 and I have no reason to believe they will get one here. Marshall is solid all around and they take advantage of teams with bad defenses as UTEP ranked 109th overall total offense and 109th in scoring defense. They've given up 30 points 4 straight weeks now, and when Marshall faces teams with 100 or worst ranked defenses they are 4-0 averaging 30 points and an average MOV of 20.5 points.
For UTEP all they have to play for is to get their RB the national rushing title and they will get a lot of yard on the ground with Bruckham, but Mrshall is #1 in pass defense in conference play, and 3rd in scoring defense allowing just 19ppg in conference play. Marshall has everything to play for as a win and their in a bowl game. They get their runner back in Darius Marshall he's the leagues #3 leading rusher and he should go, and that will help QB Brian Anderson who will be able to set a lot up with play action. If this game is close it will be Marshall winning as UTEP has lost a school record five contests by 7 or fewer points. UAB, also has a great running game ranked 6th in the country and Marshall shut them down to score just 7 points in a win. Look for a similar type game as I think Marshall rolls here 30-14!
