To paraphrase Keith Jackson about this week’s USF-UCF game: “The fans of these two teams just don’t like each other.” USF-UCF: the War/Snore/Bore on I-4 - you chose the nickname. After two weeks at least half of you are still within three points of first place. If you missed the first two weeks, you’re still welcome to enter. The top three finishers at the end of the season will win gift certificates to Bulls Heaven worth $100, $50 and $25.
The fine print: To enter respond to the “comments†link below and answer the questions. First and last names (no initials), hometown and a valid E-mail address are required. Your E-mail address will NOT be published and only will be used to contact the winners. The deadline for entries is one hour before USF’s kickoff. Remember when posting your comment/picks it won’t post immediately and may take an hour or so, so be patient. Only one entry per person per week is allowed. Anyone using false names or E-mails will be disqualified.
On to week three. To spice things up, I’ll add a pick the score bonus (worth 5 points, if anyone can nail it exactly). Good Luck.
1-Pick USF-UCF winner.
2-Will USF score more or less than 24½ points?
3-Who will rush for more yards: USF or UCF?
4-Which figure will be greater: (A) Taurus Johnson’s receiving yards, (B) Ean Randolph’s punt return yards, (C) combined rushing yards for Ben Williams and Walt Smith, (D) USF’s penalty yards?
5-Pick Miami-Louisville winner.
Bonus: Pick USF-UCF winner and exact score (worth 5 points).
The long awaited, highly anticipated matchup (for UCF fans anyway) finally happens this afternoon. Here’s how I see it.
1-USF beats UCF 21-7. At last look, USF is favored by 1-2 points, but it won’t be that close. USF will dominate. The Bulls’ defense is much stronger than UCF’s defense and that ultimately will prove to be the difference.
2-USF scores less than 24½ points. It should be a low scoring contest and if USF gets an early lead, the Bulls will try to control the clock.
3-UCF rushes for more yards. With USF down to its third RB, the Bulls’ running game struggled last week against FIU. UCF will try to pound the ball against USF’s alleged weaklink on the defensive line. The Bulls can’t continue to rely on QB Matt Grothe being their leading rusher, can they?
4-USF’s penalty yards will be greater. After seeing what Taurus Johnson and Ean Randolph did last week, I’d be shocked if UCF coaches didn’t make sure they keep a close eye on those two. If I’m UCF, I just punt it out of bounds instead of kicking to Randolph. In what should be a highly emotional game, sometimes we tend to see more of the yellow hankies. I’ll go with USF’s proven record of penalties over the other categories.
5-Louisville beats Miami. For The Tampa Tribune’s college football preview section, I predicted the ‘Ville playing in the national championship game. If so, the Cardinals can’t lose to Miami. Louisville makes a huge statement today for the ‘Ville - and the Big East.
