CFN Prediction

[Apis Bull]

For what it's worth:

UCF (0-1) at South Florida (1-1), 7:00 pm EST

Why to watch: Okay, so it isn’t exactly Florida State-Miami, but this first-time meeting between schools separated by just 100 miles has a chance to become a pretty interesting rivalry if they can agree to play it every year.  South Florida has a bona fide star in RB Andre Hall, and just one more game to prepare for their Big East debut against league favorite Louisville.  Central Florida has lost a nation’s-longest 16 straight games, so you know any victory would set off a tumultuous, must-see celebration from the Knights.

 

Why UCF might win: More than two weeks between games has UCF rested, healthy and ready to snap the losing streak.  They’re also buoyed by their play in the second half of the South Carolina game, in which they outscored the ‘Cocks 12-7 in front of a raucous opposing crowd.

 

Why South Florida might win: For the second time in three weeks, Hall is the best player on the field, but the biggest surprise for the Bulls has been the play of the defense, which has only given up 26 points and 439 yards in two games.  The pass defense is No. 1 in the nation, which adds pressure to sporadic Knight QB Steven Moffett.

 

Who to watch: LB Stephen Nicholas makes the defense go with sideline-to-sideline speed and his ability to disrupt the play of the quarterback.  He’ll add to his team-leading total of tackles, tackles for loss and sacks Saturday night.

What will happen: UCF would love to get off the schnide against USF, but as long as Hall is in the lineup and the Bull defense is playing well, George O’Leary will have to wait another week to pick up his first win in Orlando

 

CFN Prediction: South Florida 23... UCF 13  ... Line: South Florida -9.5

Must See Rating: (5 lock yourself in a room to watch - 1 Dancing with the stars) ... 2

Why does it matter what everyone else thinks? News flash-the day will never come where all USF games, or any teams games for that matter, are 4-5 star games. Come down off your high horse. Besides, it's CFN. If they would've picked UCF you would ***** about thier credibility.

That seems fair enough ...

I can imagine the celebration ucf "would" have IF they won ... I can also imagine that Saturday nite's Lotto numbers are ...  8)

U've never seen a 4-5 star game ?

Or it could mean just how little both schools mean to people outside of Florida.

Face it. USF and UCF are not nationally known.  And UCF's 0-16 slump doesn't help.

Heck, it's barely a 3 out of 5 for some USF fans here.  Can't imagine why... to me ALL USF games are 5 out of 5 "must see" games.

Reread the post. It says all games.

That is exactly how it should be. Congrats for getting it. Good luck Saturday.
