USF Bulls- Vegas Win Total- 4.5
I am not running to the bookie with this pick, but USF is not good and it is hard to see them matching their four-win effort from last season. The offense is horrendous. They managed only 33 offensive touchdowns last season on 178 drives, which is only 18.5% and puts them at 117th in the nation. New head coach Jeff Scott has an uphill battle especially with five of their road games against bowl-eligible teams from last season. Prediction- Under 4.5
Top Prospects:
KJ Sails, CB, 5-11, 175 pounds, Sr.: Sails led the Bulls with three interceptions last season and is a shutdown All-AAC performer with some early-round draft hype. He checks many desirable boxes including maturity as he has a two-year-old son. The North Carolina transfer has been able to thrive at USF.
Brad Cecil, C, 6-4, 307 pounds, Jr.: The anchor of a disappointing offensive line in more ways than one, the All-AAC performer is the leader and one of the rare points of consistency with 19 high-level career starts under his belt.
Trent Schneider, P, 6-0, 200 pounds, Sr.: The Bulls are in good hands with All-AAC standout, Schneider as he finished last season with a 46-yard average. He also had 25 punts of 50 yards or more and had 15 downed inside the 20-yard line. It is not very often a punter plays a key role in an upset, but when USF defeated BYU last season, Schneider was key with five punts for an average of 52 yards, which set the school record.
