South Florida vs UTSA Prediction
I said before the season that UTSA was a good football team and probably should win its conferrnece. A close game against Rice isn’t ideal, but UTSA did beat a talented Texas State squad on the road and hung around with Texas. UTSA still needs to clean things up defensively but this team overall wins the games its suppsoed to win and I’m not worried about this group overall. USF has almost no offense to speak of and just lost at home to Tempe. Before that, it almost lost to Bowling Green as a 17-point favorite. UTSA should roll in this spot. I’ll lay the points.
