Boston College still has the No. 8 defense in the country and could present plenty of problems for a Terps offense that’s been inconsistent in 2016. On the bright side, the Golden Eagles are 127th in total offense. In other words, expect a low-scoring battle in Detroit.
Indiana, on the other hand, will face a high-powered Utah offense. The Utes spent time in the top 15 thanks to their 35th-ranked running offense. It’ll be Indiana’s first game with Tom Allen as the permanent head coach. The Hoosiers will be looking for their first bowl win since 1991.
