Here's what I meant to say for last night's game:
South Florida @ Rutgers +2: South Florida has been good so far this year, but they have several key weaknesses. I still feel like they haven't perfected the old fumbleroosky play on kick returns. If South Florida were to block a field goal, I feel like they would try to fumble the ball forward to get a touchdown at all costs, forgetting the fact that if you do fumble it, it is a live ball, and the other team can recover the ball and go back the other way.
They also haven't perfected the illegal forward pass. If they had the ball and decided to risk throwing it forward when there are 3 Rutgers players around to get a few extra yards, they couldn't do it convincingly enough to convice the refs to not give them a penalty afer watching the instant replay. Nevermind the fact that you're not supposed to give out penalties based on instant replay.
I also think that South Florida doesn't realize that when the refs have money on the game, the boundaries for late hits out of bounds starts 3 feet before the white line. This will probably cost them sometime during the game. Also, just touching the defender will result in a push-off penalty.
What South Florida also doesn't know is that their penalties will come on game changing plays on Thursday night. Every time they make a spectacular play to turn the tide of the game, the refs
will probably bring it back.
Bryan High will win this game straight up, they don't even need the points. Oops, I mean Rutgers.
