Southern Mississippi @ Central Florida

Southern Miss -6
Having not seen either team play with my own eyes, I am left to analyze box scores and do score-comparison, a very tricky endeavor. These two teams did play a common opponent, the Florida Gators. Both lost, but So. Miss. kept it competitive through three quarters and they were able to run the ball, averaging almost 5 yards per carry. UCF on the other hand got obliterated by the Gators, down 34-0 at the half and were outgained by almost 500 yards. One bright spot, I think, is that the Golden Knights did cause four turnovers.

In addition, So. Miss has a win against NC State, while UCF’s lone win is against Villanova. I would be more comfortable having seen either of these teams play, and that is why the stars will only be two. Take the Golden Eagles and give the points.

REVIEW: Southern Miss. 19 – UCF 14

Only real mistake here was making it a 2-star. Had you placed your wager on 9/25, you could have gotten this So. Miss. -4.5 . . . just saying.
