2012 Football Prediction Contest

Game 3

Bulls vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights

Congrats to

Game Two Winner, <to be determined>!

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

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

5) Your prediction must be part of this original thread.

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

And now, the contest:

For the Bulls game against Rutgers, Thursday, September 13, please select the following:

1) The winning team

2) The final score

3) Bulls leading rusher

4) Bulls leading receiver

5) Bulls total offensive yards (closest without going over)

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) Demetris Murray

4) Sterling Griffin

5) 450

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, item 5. After that, whoever gives the best reasoning, and pre-game analysis wins.*

Board member Kizarvexis, under his now revealed pseudonym "TBPContests" will administer the 2012 Football Prediction Contest.

Prize for this game:

I think us having a tough game at Nevada helped us prepare for our Big East contest. Rutgers will get blasted by a mean defense that is going to be mad after that pistol whipping......
