College Football?Odds
South Florida -10
Total: 62 points

South Florida has a new coach in Charlie Strong and while he won’t be making the play calls in this one, he is said to be evaluating talent for next season. Quinton?Flowers leads the Bulls into this game with a record of 10-2 on the campaign, he threw for 22 touchdowns and ran for 15 more as he proved his dual-threat capabilities on the field. The Bulls ended the season winners of four consecutive games, averaging 46 points per game, including two road victories at Memphis and SMU.

South Carolina didn’t score 46 points in any game this season. The Gamecocks struggle on offense, averaging just 19.3 points per game, which ranks 123rd in the country, good for sixth-worst among FBS?teams. Flowers and South Florida rank seventh-best in scoring offense (43.6 per game) and having Marlon Mark come out of the backfield is very strong.

The Bulls have a one-two combination that will cause South?Carolina a ton of problems in space, even with the Gamecocks being an?SEC?defense that has faced tough competition all season. This is a statement-type game for the Bulls.
