1-1 YTD
Last Night Tulsa +10 Winner 
Tonight:
Cincinnati has started off the year on fire!! 5-0 and literally dominating every game this team has played in. They get the job done behind the # 6 Passing attack. Tony Pike has been unreal this year throwng for 1492 yards and 13 TD's. What is so great about him is that he is extremely accurate completing 67.1% of his passes. Mardy Gilyard has been his main target and for good reason this guy is awesome!! This guy has 9 total td's on the year tied for 4th in the nation in scoring. He avgs 8 rec per game and has 166.6 yds all purpose. People there is no stopping this guy. Especially when Pike has all day to throw behind a line that ranks 4th in the nation in protecting the QB. Guys there isnt a team in CFB that can stop this potent passing attack. On Defense is where Cincy has suprised alot of people this year!! Despite returning only 1 starter this defense has been stout. They are #1 in the nation in sacks and tackles for a loss at 4.2 per game and 10 per game. Total yardage wise they rank 37th giving up 307 yds on avg. Another impressive stat about Cincy's is how they ranked 3rd in the nation with a turnover margn of 1.60
South Florida comes into this game on a high. They are 5-0 beating FSU and Syracuse along the way. Their offense has got the job done behind a solid running game. Star QB Matt Grothe was knocked for the year three games ago but Frosh QB BJ Daniels has picked up where he left off. Daniels has thrown for 602 yds and 6 td's. He also has made plays on the ground leading the Bullls with 291 yds and 3 TDs. Daniels has shown in a couple games this year that he can get the job done. On Defense is where South Florida is most impressive. dominating weaker oppositon by creating turnovers. Last week they forced Syracuse into throwing 5 ints and forced 2 fumbles despite being outgained. Against FSU they forced 4 TO's by way of fumble en route to 17-7 vctory. So you see the Bulls defense is very opportunistic and that is why they have been so successful.
Tonight however for the BJ Daniels and the Bulls is where the fairy tale ends! South Florida has yet to see an offense as efficient as the Bearcats'. Tony Pike and Mr. Gilyard are gonna have a field day. Mike Williams last week for Syracuse caught 13 passes for 186 yds and two touchdowns and Bert Reed for FSU had similar success, tonight I expect Gilyard to do the same. If you dont turnover the ball against South Florida you can move the football which was proven by Ponder and Paulus. Both throwing for over 250 yds against this defense. On offense for South Florida BJ Daniels is gonna have his hands full. The Bearcats are gonna bring the heat and I dont think Daniels in his first Primetime game is up for the challenge. I see him getting sacked alot tonight by the nations #1 pass rush and turning over the football en route to a frustrating evening.
People dont overthink this one the Bearcats have proven themselves this year and they should win this one tonight on the road by a large margin. Tony Pike is way too accurate to turnover the football and USF Freshman QB BJ Daniels is gonna have his hands full with this Cincinnati pressure D. I'm going with the Bearcats tonight and I'm going with em LARGE.
