The presents have been opened, the carols have been sung and the eggnog is empty. All that’s left now is to analyze the matchup and try to predict the outcome. With that in mind, here are five important questions that could determine the winner of Saturday’s big game.
Ryan Nassib doesn't have the same kind of passing numbers as Geno Smith. Nor does his name carry the same weight in the context of any national discussions about the country's best quarterbacks. Know, though, that Nassib is no slouch. He will be drafted by an NFL team. He's finishing his third season as a starter. He directed the nation's No. 21 offense this season and finished 13th in individual total offense.

1992 West Virginia vs. Syracuse: The Other Brawl - The Smoking Musket
The 1992 on-field brawl between the Orangemen (yes, they were the Orangemen back then before the sanitizing forces of PC-ness scrubbed their mascot of any offensiveness) and the Mountaineers was one of those perfect moments of formative hatred in my young life.
