2008 Football Prediction Contest

Game    4

Bulls vs. Golden Panthers

Week Two Winner:

Congratulations to GoBulls84, our Week 3 winner of a $50 BullsOutfitter gift card!  Please email me with your full name and address.  Thank you and congrats!

The Contest:  Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to select the winner for the week's USF football game - as well as make some tie-breaking prognostications.  Prizes await, as does the respect and admiration of Bulls fans worldwide.

First...the rules:

1)  You must be a registered member of this message board.

2)  You must completely answer the contest questions.

3)  There can be no modifications to your post after the published game start time.

4)  Your prediction must be part of this original thread

5)  Post must be submitted prior to published game start time.

For additional contest rules, please read the small print below.

And now, the contest:

For the Bulls game against FIU Saturday, September 20, please select the following:

1)  The winning team

2)  The final score

3)  Bulls total offensive yards

4)  Bulls leading receiver

Please try to keep in the above format so that it will be easier to manage.  Sample response would be:

1)  South Florida

2)  80-3

3)  450

4)  Taurus Johnson

After posting your entry, please feel free make your case for your picks, or predict other aspects of the game.  It will make the thread much more entertaining if everyone gives their reasons for their picks, and make predictions on other aspects like special teams, rushing, or which QB will get the most PT.

The winner will be decided with the first and second prediction items.  I am looking for the person that comes closest to the actual score, not simply the margin of victory.  If more than one person is correct, or equally close, we'll go to item three.  Closest wins.  If still tied, we go to item four - if still tied, whoever gives the best reasoning, and pre-game analysis wins.*

Prize for this game:

*** A $50 gift certificate to BullsOutfitter.com ***

Good Luck!

USF should roll.  I don't see FIU scoring, but it would be foolish to think some time in 60 minutes they wouldn't some how get into FG range.

Their only TD on Kansas was on special teams.  I don't think we'll have another lapse in coverage yet.  Grothe should get another 300 before they pull him out, but I doubt the staff will allow him to stay in the game that long.

Should have about 250 yards on the ground.  Congrats on a tandem of 100 yard rushers this week.  I'm guessing Taylor and Plancher, but wouldn't be surprised if there was another.

Go Bulls!
