Until we prove we can beat a BCS team on the road, I have to go with the head and not the heart.  We will win one some day.  Not sure Saturday is that day.  It would be great!

44-14 USC

We need to show we can drive down the field and score in the first half and not during garbage time.

If we can record two TDs this weekend against a BCS team on the road… that alone will be a victory for me!!!

I second that opinion. I'd just like to see the offense looking decent especially against the SC defense and for the D to hold up as well as possible

That said… 42-13 SC

14-13 FAU…..missed extra point makes the difference. Big backs Morris and Stinton and our 300+ O-line make the difference in a sloppy run oriented game

I don't know if our Defense has been able to truly defend the run yet so I think you'll score on us.  But I also have to think that we put 37 on the board against UGA at thier place.

I'm predicting 43-17.

I think you guys are catching us when we're starting to put things together but…..the wild card?  Rain.  If we have to solely stick to a running game, all bets are off.

Same for us, We have a good RB he's raw but talented.

Rain and weather could really make a difference. Watch our game vs Michigan St. Last year. LOL

I said there would be 54 total points on my gamecard this week so I'll say…44-10 USC. I'm still pessimistic about road BCS games and USC will be looking for a way to vent after their loss to GA. I do think that if we can somehow get a lead late in the 3rd/4th we could pull the upset. But I doubt that will happen.

GO OWLS!

Owl Fans!  I'm feeling good about this match-up!  This will be our revenge game and I believe that luck will help some with turnovers.  Bam Bam Morris breaks it early with some big runs–keeping USC off balance.  Pressure will back off of Rusty mainly because of Morris, Harmon and Rose!  South Cackalaki goes down and I'm thinking the score will be:

FAU  28
USC  17

GO OWLS!

THE LINE: South Carolina by 20.5. THE PICK: South Carolina 38-20.

I will not predict the score…but I will predict that A. Morris runs for 150+ yards.  Our defense needs to create pressure and turnovers…if we give Garcia all day he will pick us apart.

O lordy!!! Let's not re-live that game please… didn't we also have issues with not bringing enough dry footballs or something? Seriously, with the amount of torrential rain we get down here we should be wet football specialists!!!  :D
