Way Too Early Prediction

Cincinnati by at least two touchdowns. The 2013 game that we don’t speak of was a fluke with everything going South Florida’s way and most importantly UC operating with a severely inefficient offense. Eddie Gran mercifully scrapped the pro-style schemes in favor of the spread which appears to be here to stay. That means bad news for a USF team that is still very much in rebuilding mode and faces the Bearcats on a Friday night in hostile territory. On paper, Gunner Kiel and his wealth of talented receivers should pick the Bulls apart.
