    South Florida arguably has the best secondary in the NCAA and who's Oregon going to have at QB - baby LEAF?!?! I see turnovers happening all over the place. Alternately, USF has a gritty QB that makes plays with his feet and his arm. I don't think Oregon is happy to be in this bowl... they thought they'd be in the National Championship a few weeks ago. USF is happy as hell to be in a bowl game period and wants to let the rest of the country know they're for real and here to stay. I'm all over USF!

    I would of took Oregon ML if Dixon was playing, but then again, I don't think Oregon would be the dog.

    Posted by BEARMZ in another post:

    OREGON: Quarterback Nathan Costa (12/3, knee)(would have been BU to Dixon) is expected to miss the Sun Bowl on 12/31 against South Florida. Quarterback Brady Leaf (12/3, sprained ankles) is expected to miss the Sun Bowl. Quarterback Dennis Dixon (12/3, torn ACL) will miss the Sun Bowl on 12/31 against South Florida. Running back Jeremiah Johnson (12/3, torn right ACL)( 6 g played-5TDs) is expected to miss the Sun Bowl on 12/31 against South Florida. Wide receiver Cameron Colvin (12/3, broken right ankle)(3 starts 2TD) is expected to miss the Sun Bowl on 12/31 against South Florida. Wide receiver Brian Paysinger (12/3, right knee)(started 1st 3 g ) will miss the Sun Bowl on 12/31 against South Florida. Linebacker John Bacon (12/3, torn ACL)(started 1st 9) is expected to miss the Sun Bowl.

    I believe they're starting Justin Roper, a redshirt freshman.

    I like South Florida in this spot. My prediction is USF by at LEAST 14.

    Wait now, think this game thoroughly. Both squads were ranked at #2 at some piont in this season and actually thought they would be playing for the National Title. Oregon lost who I thought would win the Heisman if he stayed healthy Dixon. For all you out there on the west coast, don't sweat, no Leaf's little brother is not going to play. He has a long way to go in a Spread Offense. Oregon is going to start the redshirt freshman QB Roper. Yeah he struggled against UCLA when he replaced Leaf, but he had a good week of practice before they faced Oregon State and has worked with the #1 offense over the last month (that time frame could closely resemble Spring Practices or even Fall Two a day practices). By the way, Mel Keipper did get the memo and yes he will go crazy breaking down the players on defense for both squads when the April Draft comes. Rothe has not been as sharp as he was when he started the season. They guy has 8 picks in the last 4 games. I see Oregon controlling the clock with Stewart running and taking 6 points is pretty generous and Oregon is my pick.

    SHoot, Oregon couldn't score since Dixon went out. Will 30 days rest help? Probally, They might score 10 points this week. Maybe a little more since S. Florida will score often giving Oregon more chances. I agree with most here, S. Florida in a rout!

    I did have Oregon at a -1, but with Dixon out I can't back them. So I would lean South Florida -6 in this one. I have the total set at 59, so the over would be the lean with it being 53.

    No plays for me. Good luck everyone.

    Anti-Big East play for me. Oregon +6.

    South Florida up and down all season, and lost to UConn! Think the line is double what it should be.

    First easy winner for me. Had Air Force up 21-0 and lost that one. Never relax in these games.

    I didn't see this coming with Dixon not playing. Oregon just destroyed South Florida.

    South Florida 21
    Oregon 56
