Synopsis: The bowl season gets off to its traditional start in the Land of Enchantment. The Rams should be familiar with the environs, having beaten usual tenant New Mexico on the same field Nov. 16. The Cougars, in their first bowl game since 2003, figure to provide CSU more of a challenge. WSU's up-and-down season has hinged on the play of QB Connor Halliday, who has amassed a lofty 4,187 yards in the Mike Leach offense with 28 TDs but 21INTs. If his throws go as intended, WRs Gabe Marks, Vince Mayle and Dom Williams will be the beneficiaries. But if he is bothered, it will likely be because of Rams LB Shaquil Barrett, the Mountain West defensive player of the year who recorded 12 sacks and 201/2 total tackles for loss. The CSU offense is more balanced, though it generally operates through TB Kapri Bibbs. He has rushed for 1,572 yards and 28 TDs. QB Garrett Grayson is capable of lending aerial support, but he'll have to watch out for Cougars S Deone Bucannon.
