BYU vs USF Game Preview

Why BYU Will Win

The offense is beyond loaded with experience and talent.

The skill parts are fine – the deep group of backs and veteran receivers are all there for QB Jaren Hall to work with – but it’s the offensive line that should take over early on.

The USF D finished 123rd in the nation, and the biggest problem was against the run – that’s not going to be fixed immediately.

The Bulls bring a slew of veterans for new coordinator Bob Shoop, but there are question marks at tackle and the line as a whole will need a while. BYU’s front five should have an easy time taking advantage of that as it keeps on blasting away.

Week 1 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why USF Will Win

USF has the experience on both sides of the ball to be feisty.

The defense might not be there quite yet, but it gets back most of the key starters helped by the 1-2 linebacking punch of Antonio Grier and Dwayne Boyles. The run defense might be a brick wall, but the Bulls will get stops out of those two.

The BYU defense has to generate more of a pass rush and it needs to prove it can hold up better against the run on a regular basis.

If the USF offensive front can get a push early on – it’s one of the team’s better strengths going into the season – the backs should be able to take over and the O can keep the D on the bench.

What’s Going To Happen

USF will be more interesting than BYU might like.

The Bull offense will have enough moments to make this a battle in the heat and humidity – it’s supposed to be in the 90s and raining in Tampa on Saturday – but the BYU lines will take over.

The steady offensive production of the Cougars will take over in the second half.

If the 2022 Season had a 12-Team College Football Playoff

The best team of the worst conference would be a 3-seed if the 12-team playoff was this year. | Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports Maybe it was time for an expanded playoff, but the seeding is a bunch of malarkey. Beginning in 2024, a 12-team playoff will commence. The controversial format grants automatic bids to the six highest-ranked conference champions, gives first-round byes to the highest ranked four champions, and completes the field with six at-large selections. No at-large can earn a bye. First-round games, between seeds 5 through 12, are to be played on campus or at a location designated by the higher seed. In other words, should a team like Wake Forest get in and be a higher seed in the first round, they might be convinced to play in Carolina Panthers ’ stadium rather than in the Demon Deacons’ 31,500 capacity stadium. If a 12-team Playoff was held this season with the guidelines laid out above, the following is what it would look like under the current format: SEEDINGS: G...

ACC Coaches Against The Spread: Ranked From Best To Worst. Who Covers?

How good are all of the ACC head coaches against the spread? Going from best to worst, here’s who covers and who doesn’t. How do all of the ACC head coaches do against the spread, and on the road ATS, and going over on the point total? If you like to invest, here’s everything you need to know about 11 of the 14 current ACC head coaches and how they do against the lines. One important note, all of these stats only reflect how all the coaches have done on their current ACC teams . The new head coaches – Mike Elko at Duke, Tony Elliott at Virginia, and Brent Pry at Virginia Tech – aren’t a part of this because they’ve never done this before, and Miami’s Mario Cristobal gets credit for his time at Oregon before taking over the new gig.

Jumbo Package: National media have mostly written off the Tide

Set Number: X164200 TK1 Your latest Crimson Tide news and notes. Happy Friday, everyone. Bye weeks are never fun for the fans, but the team needed it this year more than any in recent memory. Hopefully they are getting healed up and ready to close strong. Exactly none of the major publications is picking Alabama to make the playoff at this point. USA TODAY: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU (Dec. 31) 247Sports: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU Sporting News: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU Bleacher Report: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU That seems like just the kind of anti-rat poison Saban desires. A pair of freshman linemen have made impacts this season. Pleasant surprise: Tyler Booker The freshman has managed to split time with two experienced guards in a platoon system rarely seen on the offensive line, where the need for chemistry and continuity typically precludes rotational substitutions. His pass-blocking grade of 86.7 from PFF is the best of any UA guard, and ranks 15th among 577 guards nationally. Top freshman:...
