Big East picks, Week 12

By Brian Bennett

It's becoming a surprise anymore whenever I miss a pick.

I went 4-0 last week. Ho. Hum. That's six of the past seven weeks where I've gone undefeated. Only three games this week? Come on, I need a challenge.

...

South Florida 31, Louisville 13: The last two times the Cardinals went to Tampa, they lost by a combined 69 points. And those were good, high-scoring Louisville teams. The Bulls were brutally bad against Rutgers last week, but they'll have far too much speed and firepower for the Cards to handle.

What to watch in the Big East, Week 12

By Brian Bennett

...

7. Kragthorpe's last stand?: Louisville is technically still alive for a bowl bid, which may be Steve Kragthorpe's only chance of keeping his job past this year. But to get to the postseason, the Cardinals will have to win at South Florida, something they've never done. I wouldn't expect an announcement on Kragthorpe's status next week if Louisville loses, but it wouldn't be totally surprising either.

8. South Florida's defensive line vs. Louisville's O-line: The Cardinals' offensive line has been outmatched at times this season, just plain brutal in other stretches. It got overpowered often by Syracuse last week. So this should be a great matchup for the Bulls' defensive front, which played valiantly at Rutgers despite having to spend way too much time on the field. I'd be stunned if South Florida doesn't have at least three or four sacks in this game.

9. B.J. Daniels: Let's face it: Daniels had an awful game at Rutgers, and at times this season he has failed to keep his composure on the sidelines. Louisville's defense has been playing well the last couple of weeks but still has trouble getting consistent pressure on the quarterback. Daniels ought to be able to make some plays, even if his favorite receiver -- Carlton Mitchell -- is still out of the lineup with an ankle injury.

This guy confuses me and I am still trying to reconcile his comments about us being a huge disappointment, when we are +1 to his picks on us, having beat FSU.  I dont care what he says anymore.

I hope he is right though.
