I wouldn't bet the ranch on that one.
.
The LEAST amount of points USF has scored all season, in fact, the last 12 games played, is 30 points against Temple. That is the least scored in an entire season of football.
Let that sink in for a moment.
USF will score big tomorrow. Can they stop Navy...who knows, but I am betting on a much better effort at home. USF was embarrassed by Temple.
USF was embarrassed by Temple.
We know how that feels.
Navy defense is pretty good. I would not undeestimate them. That's all I'm saying
.
Are they better than the last 12 teams we played that we scored at least 30 on. I'm not saying they are not decent, but our offense is virtually unstoppable right now (Temple game not withstanding). Look at the statistics. Temple held us to 30. Largely by holding on to the ball in first half and playing keep away from USF's offense, and that was by far the least amount of points we've scored in over a year.
If Navy can rush for 350 yards and chew up 80% of the clock time, they could hold us to around 30 or so, like Temple. Otherwise, it will be very hard to hold USF under 40 (as USF is averaging well over 40 points a game, even with the Temple game included in the average). USF can strike fast, quick, and in a hurry, and put up 28-35 points in a flash
We were averaging 43 PPG, and scored 28 on Navy, to their 42. The issue was they controlled the clock, beating us approximately 2:1 in ToP.
Plus, you guys have not been good against the run this season, so I would batten down the hatches, lol.

RE: Week 9 --> AAC Football Game Prediction Thread (PICKS)
I think Tulsa-Memphis is the biggest tossup in a week of tossup games. Surprisingly, to date, Memphis picks are leading 31-19, if I counted correctly. Must be b/c we have more Memphis fans here.

Not really surprising. Tulsa and Memphis are two evenly arched teams really. Memphis is the home team and gets that edge and picks. If Tulsa was the hoe team it be flipped. Both teams will expose the others flaws tmr. We just have to see which one does a better job at it.

I have to say you've called it so far. That is not the S Florida team we played last week.
