OUR PREDICTION: The Rams were hot down the stretch, winning four of their last five games, which included a 63-point performance over San Diego State. Their offense was unstoppable at times this season thanks to Nick Stevens, who stepped up when freshman Collin Hill was lost to a torn ACL in his left knee in October. Michael Gallup is also a headache for defenses, as he racked up 70 catches for 1,164 yards this season. Idaho allowed 269.6 passing yards per game this season, which ranked 110th in the nation. The Vandals are going to struggle to slow down this Rams passing attack tonight.
