South Florida -28 @ Florida International

[Basket Case]

-28 at

5:00 PM EST September 20, 2008


I realize their last meeting was on 9-6-06 with USF barely winning a struggle 21-20 at Raymond James Stadium. That day, USF closed as a 19 point favorite.:scared1:

Will history repeat itself? Or does anyone think the Bulls can waste the Panthers by more than 4 TDs? :think2:

Thoughts would be appreciated by anyone. Thanks in advance.

No opinions?

Florida International is one of the worst teams in D-I football but 28 points is an awful lot, especially for a team coming off a highly emotional win on national TV. Now they're on the road to play a nobody with no attention paid to them at all. The situation is right for a letdown, but horrible teams -- like FIU -- simply should not be bet, in my opinion, no matter the size of the spread.

Thank you very much for your opinion. :aktion033

I agree with your assessment that South Florida may be ripe for a letdown. However, FIU is truly one of the worst teams in NCAA football.

From a recruiting aspect, the head coach for USF may beat up on these sad sacks pretty bad. There will probably be quite a few Miami high school recruits at the game, and he may want to make a statement for their benefit. Talent is abundant in the Dade County area, so this makes sense.

If someone was putting a gun to my head, I would have to bet the Bulls in this game. It could get ugly. Something like 52-17. :machinegu

What part of Florida are you at?

I'm originally from Miami, and I know that FIU simply blows chunks - well, at least this year's edition.

USF should steamroll these guys.

The only thing good about FIU is the new stadium they unveil this weekend. This program cannot play true D-1 football now or even in the near future.

I have to say, an average Iowa team covered 28 with ease against these guys, even if there is some sort of a let down I don't see FIU staying within the number, huge talent gap and FIU's coach is clueless.

Blowout?

Thanks w8lifterguy and echamp76 for your opinions.

This game has BLOWOUT written all over it. :beavis1:

Im from the 561.

What most people don't know is...their OC, Coley, is now at FSU. Kansas hung 35 on this team. Their only score came on a special teams td return. USF has a better defense than Kansas and they just beat them. USF hung (29?) on a better UCF defense, on the road, in a rival game. Bulls are going to destroy FIU

Bump Up the Volume

This game will be a BLOWOUT, no?

Someone talk me out of betting the South Florida Bulls to crush the FIU Panthers! :smoker2:
