The Hilltoppers are new to this level of football, and they are taking some painful licks in the process. They have only had 18 games against BCS teams and have won just one, dropping 16 in a row. So seeing them getting less than a TD is quite appealing. The Hilltoppers defense is allowing 6.6 yards per carry against them, and has registered just two sacks on the season. That has left them ranked No. 118 on defense. But that isn't even their biggest problem. They have an offense that ranks No. 119. Florida International is certainly far and away from being a national power, but they can throw the ball, averaging 242 yards per game through the air and I expect them to destroy the Hilltoppers’ secondary. Their defense isn't good, but unfortunately the Hilltoppers simply don't have the talent to exploit it. I'm going with Florida International in this one.
