This game worries me, Vegas has us -10 to -12 range. Thats less than 2 touch downs. a Special team Td or big return or fumble or int for a Td and USF can be in business.
The 10 major reasons why i am worried about this game.
1. Florida and the state of florida speed. Maryland doesnt do well very speed on offense vs our defense. or Defensive speed vs our O.
2. Your running back Mack had 275 yards 4 tds. and the part that really impressed me was that He didnt even look tired.
3. Its down in florida , florida sun/heat/ fans NFL stadium. Big time game even heard some big time Florida recruits will be at the game to watch Maryland.
4. Maryland players not taking this game seriously. If you watched out bowl game we lost to Marshall and i believe we lost because the players didnt take marshall seriously.
5. Cj Brown he is hot and cold. He could come out and have a hall of fame game 270 yards pass 2 tds, 120 yards rushing, 3 Tds he can do that, Or he can go 11-30 120 3ints. and 1 fumble , I hope good Cj Browns shows up.
6. Am worried about USF looking at this game like their bowl game or a game to set their program on the map, and maryland just seeing this as a vacation to florida.
7. 3-4 defense you guys run. Pressure Defenses give our O line issues.
8. the 3-4 defense Maryland runs. WE DONT STO PTHE RUN VERY WELL heck james madison rushed for 160 yards on us. Thats crazy. thats too much.
9, We can be a turnover machine. We love to give the ball away. Of all the Big10 teams, Maryland is the only team with 32 straight games were we turned the ball ove.r So uSF fans UMd will give you 1, 2 fumbles or picks.
10. Penalties, False starts, Pi. i dont know how loud Tampa stadium gets, but issues with noise could slow down our offense. And the best way for USF to win this game. is to slow it down, run run run milk the clock, keep Diggs, Cj Brown, and co on the bench and get marylands defense tired.
