Phil Steele's Top 25 Forecast

[BucnBull]

Phil's Top 25 Record as of 10/7: 104-23 82%

[usfgrad84]

we have outscored the other team 30 something to 6 or something close to that

More importantly we are beating our opponents 42-3 so far this year in the first quarter.  If we can come out strong early and take a lead we will force them to throw. Effectively taking  their biggest weapon, Kevin Smith, out of the game.

All signs point to us winning easily.  We just need to play up to the level we are capable.

We'd have to jump out to a HUGE lead for them to be force to throw early.

If we were up 21 - 0 in the first quarter... they wouldn't start throwing exclusively.

If it was the 3rd quarter with that score... perhaps... but even then, they have no shot throwing only.  They have to live and die with Smith, and change it up with a pass now and then to try and keep the defense honest.  100% smith = USF victory;  100% throw = USF Victory.
