PIONEER PURE VISION LAS VEGAS BOWL PREVIEW

Since about the time George Washington was chopping down thatcherry tree, there has been a debate of some kind or other going onregarding college football.

The first president was probably pulling for — well, Washington (andwe all know there is probably at least one fan base that was pulling for thetree).

The current debate has the Bowl Championship Series fans holding theadvantage over those pulling for a playoff.

For those, however, heading to the 2005 Pioneer PureVision Las VegasBowl, there is no debate. The bowl system is working with all of itsbenefits on display.

Fans are excited, hotels are filling up, and one of the first choices on the2005 bowl menu has produced an interesting matchup.

Brigham Young University is heading back to postseason for the firsttime since the 2001 Liberty Bowl. Under the direction of first-year headcoach Bronco Mendenhall, the Cougars look to once again be on the prowlas a program loaded with tradition is back up on the upswing.

California is playing in a third straight bowl game for the first time sincethe 1948, 1949 and 1950 seasons ended in Rose Bowl appearances. Andthat streak of postseason dates is stamping Cal as an annual contender forpostseason hardware. The climb under Jeff Tedford continues.

Thus the stage is set for two high-powered offenses that are not onlylooking to complete a solid 2005 season, but also attempting to set thetable for a 2006 that is full of promise.

The Mountain West entry from Provo averages 33.5 points per game.The Cougars have scored at least 34 points in each of their last four games.BYU has won five of its last seven contests and the Cougs’ 6-5 record hasincluded games against ranked foes Boston College, TCU and Notre Dame.

The Bears match the point total with an average of 32.7 per game. Andthe Bears’ 2005 agenda has featured battles against No. 1 USC, No. 16UCLA and a top 25 entry from Oregon that has just one loss on the season(to No. 1 USC).

The defense would seem to point to an advantage for the Bears. Calallows almost nine fewer points and 60 fewer yards per contest. Three ofCalifornia’s 11 opponents this season failed to score an offensive touch-down. In its last outing, California registered nine quarterback sacks in a27-3 victory over Stanford. The following week, the Cardinal came withinan eyelash of upsetting Fiesta-Bowl bound Notre Dame.

Both teams had their share of close calls. BYU was 0-2 in overtimegames and had a three-point victory over New Mexico. Cal was 0-1 inovertime and had three other games decided by three points or less.

The bottom line would seem safe to assume. What would Las Vegas bewithout a show? This game should produce one. Two teams with strongoffenses and a habit of close calls could make the 2005 Pioneer PureVisionLas Vegas Bowl one of the holiday seasons’ best.
