Friday Preview 10/22

South Florida at Cincinnati

What's At Stake
USF is already basically out of any form of a Big East race, so not much is at stake for them except maybe a small chance at crawling back into the muck. For the Bearcats, this is a chance to put their first winning streak together, and they stay in the race for the Big East title, even if only as an outsider.

USF Wins If...
They get their act together on offense. I don't know what's going on in Tampa, but damn this offense is just simply offensive in every way. If I weren't a UCLA fan and already had a really good idea of what a crappy offense looks like, I would be sickened. The Bulls really don't match up with UC very well, and so look for them to stay winless in the Big East.

Cincinnati Wins If...
The Bearcats seemed to really get a sense of themselves in the win over Louisville. Collaros started to get into a groove at QB, and the Bearcats followed right along with him. He needs to be the leader again, and although the USF D has not been bad, UC should have enough weapons to open up the field.

Vegas Line
UC -8.5

I Pick
Cincinnati

In FCS action...

Central Connecticut State at Albany
CCSU is really the last team in the Northeast Conference that has a shot at taking down Robert Morris. They have not played yet, and so the journey has to go through Albany, who lost to the Colonials 38-0 last week. CCSU is rushing the ball very well this season, and Albany has been hit and miss. I'll take the CCSU Blue Devils and run with it.
