Fiesta Bowl capsule

NCAA Football Betting Lines

01/03/2010 -

Line: TCU by 7.

Series record: 1-1.

Last meeting: TCU 17, Boise State 16, 2008 Poinsettia Bowl.What's at Stake

The winner will join either Alabama or Texas as the nation's only unbeaten teams. Short of a shot at the national title, this is as good as it gets for two teams from conferences without automatic BCS bids. That could change next year, especially if the winner of this game finds itself high in the preseason rankings. In that sense, the Fiesta Bowl could provide a springboard to the 2010 national title race for one of these so-called outsiders.Key Matchup

Boise State's offense vs. TCU's defense. Only one team - Clemson - mustered more than 300 yards of total offense against the Horned Frogs' top-ranked defense. The Broncos average 460.5 yards, seventh in the nation, and their 44.2 points per game lead the country. TCU will try to make life miserable for Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore, the nation's most efficient passer. The Broncos run for 194.5 yards per game, and they might try to run the ball to keep the Horned Frogs' defenders from teeing off on the quarterback.Players to Watch

Boise State: QB Kellen Moore. Everything the Broncos do begins with Moore, the Western Athletic Conference offensive player of the year. The sophomore from Prosser, Wash., threw 39 TD passes to set a school single-season record. Moore's coaches love him because he's thrown only three interceptions - or one every 130.7 pass attempts.

TCU: DE Jerry Hughes. Hughes, a two-time All-American, is at the heart of one of the nation's stingier defenses. The senior from Sugar Land, Texas, had 11.5 sacks this year. He has 28.5 career sacks, second behind Aaron Schobel on the school's career list.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
