MACHINE CHOICE FOOTBALL: 14-9
USF is overrated and BJ Daniels will get shut down Thurs night just like he did last year vs Pittsburgh. I watched him alot last year and he makes poor decisions against good defenses and throws the INT in clutch situations (13 INT's last year). The only reason USF beat Notre Dame this year was because ND wasted the first half of that game with Dayne Crist as QB. ND actually won the second half 20-7 with Rees under center. BJ Daniels was pathetic in that game, only throwing for 128 yards and rushing for 2.7 ypc. Also, ND gifted USF with 5 turnovers.
Pitts' defense is just as tough as ND if not better. I don't think USF is going to get much going on the ground, and definitely not through the air. They will have a vanilla game plan in the hostile road environment and play for a low-scoring, clean victory.
If you back BJ Daniels tomorrow, go buy a bottle of whiskey tonight cause you'll need it. If Pittsburgh avoids turnovers and penalties, they have a good shot to get their Big East schedule started right. I'll buy the hook to get the key number.
PITTSBURGH +3
