I just read a preview of the Rutgers-USF, Big East contest. It mentioned Rutgers tough defense. It mentioned the strong, early play of USF QB Daniels, a three-year starter, and the solid play of the offense Daniels leads. It also mentioned the weak offense that Rutgers will probably have tonight and for the season.
What they didn't mention is the vast difference tonight in coaching experience.
USF has a very good coach in Skip Holtz, with an experienced coaching staff on both the offensive and the defensive sides of the ball.
Rutgers lost a VERY GOOD coach in Schiano, and the Scarlet Knights ex-coach took many of his important assistants to the NFL. The new coach, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator have no experience at their respective positions, and they are playing their first "real" game of the year, and it's on the road.
Even with Schiano, this team would have had difficulty scoring tonight. Without him, that task will be even more difficult.
The pick tonight: USF Bulls.
The obvious pick tonight in the totals is the under. The totals line has been dropping. Sometimes the obvious is too obvious. I'll stay away from the over/under tonight.
Tomorrow: My main man, Mike Leach leads his WSU squad against UNLV. See you then!
