BYU at South Florida

Premium Pick

South Florida was struggling to run the ball until they met UConn who has been one of the worst teams in NCAAF over the last decade. The Bulls offense ran for over 300 yards in that game. The Bulls needed to find a winning game because starting QB Blake Barnett is nursing an ankle injury. BYU has lost its QB, Zach Wilson, so this game is likely to be played conservatively, and the team that can run the ball the best is going to be in good shape. BYU has not run the ball well but has played one of the toughest schedules in the country. I think they find more room to run vs. the Bulls, the weakest team they will have played all season. The Bulls ran all over UConn and SC State an FCS team but have generated just 173 yards running on 86 carries in their other three games. Give the points and play on BYU.
