South Florida comes into this game off a big win against West Vagina. That win was so big for this program!! It proved to the nation and to themselves that they are for real and they can win big football games. What allowed them to win that game was the outstanding play of QB BJ Daniels. In the first couple games Daniels played in, USF coaches didnt allow the Fresman play the way he wanted to. Well against the Neers the USF coaches took the training wheels off of Mr Daniels and it payed off big time!! Both with his arm and legs Daniels sliced and diced an above average WVU defense. He had 117 yards on the ground, 232 yds passing and 3TD's! I honestly havent seen a dual threat QB this dominant since Michael Vick AKA "Ron Mexico". Please dont underrate this guy he is the real deal and maybe the best freshman QB in the country. On defense we all know what USF is capable of. When the offense is playing well these guys are dominant behind Man Children DE's Selvie, Pierre Paul and LB Kion Wilson. Alot of people I'm sure question this defense after getting killed by Pitt and Cincinatti but against those teams the USF offense couldnt muster any production. Now with Daniels allowed to play the way he wants to, they are able to keep their defense off the field and rested enough to make big plays.  When USF's offense hums so does their defense. The Bulls are gonna play tonight without WR Carlton Mitchell however USF is very deep at the position with Love, Bogan and Hester.

Now Rutgers comes into the game on a high they are 6-2 and have won their last 2 one of em away against a very tough Uconn team. They have been doing just enough to get the job done behind a stingy and opportunistic defense. The Knights rank #1 in the nation in turnover margin and basically that stat alone has won them football games. Freshman QB Tom Savage has been playing mistake free football lately and has made big throws when called upon. The big play ability of WR Tim Brown is really the main reason Rutgers has had any production on offense. Other than him there really isnt anyone that can make a big play. On defense the Knights are led by an outstanding LB crew led by Ryan Dimperio. Rutgers comes into the game ranking 27th on defense and like I said these guys create turnovers which has led them to a 6-2 record.

Tonight the way I see this game is like this. Defensively South Florida should be able to shut down this stagnant Rutgers offense. These guys just dont have enough star talent right now to beat a very good defense like South Florida. USF lost games against Pitt and Cincy but both those teams have Big Star talent. Rutgers quite simply does not. On the other side of the ball I really think the Knights are gonna have a hard time stopping Daniels. This kid looks super confident now that the coaches have given him full control to make plays and I think there is no way the Knights can stop him. He is too quick and too accurate making throws on the run. Also this supposedly solid Rutgers defense against good football teams have been exposed greatly. Last week against UCONN they gave up almost 500 yards of offense, against Cincy they gave up almost 600 and against Pitt almost 400. Also everyone knows the Knights were very lucky to sneak away with a win against UCONN last week. Another factor is the fact that this is a revenge game for the Bulls. Their team feels that the Knights ran up the score on them last year and tonight they want to kill this team. Also for most of the Bulls players they have never beat Rutgers and have never won on Thursday night and I'm sure they want to break that trend. All this should be enough for the Bulls and I fully expect this team to keep on chugging and to get a big win tonight in Jersey!!

SOUTH FLORIDA +3 (HOOK)
