By Brett Nault
Friday, October 21, 2016 at 7:00 pm (Lincoln Financial Field)
The Line: Temple Owls +6.5 -- Over/Under:60
TV: ESPN HD

The South Florida Bulls will travel to Lincoln Financial Field to take on the Temple Owls this Friday in College Football action.

The South Florida Bulls won their 3rd straight game and improved to 6-1 (3-0 AAC) on the season after defeating the UConn Huskies, 42-27, this past Saturday. South Florida was down by a 17-14 margin early in the 3rd quarter but used an explosive 21-point 4th quarter to help secure the victory. South Florida outgained UConn by a 529-378 margin however, did lose the turnover battle by a 4-0 margin. Leading the way for the Bulls was QB Quinton Flowers who completed who had 5 TD’s and 370 total yards (213 passing; 157 rushing). On the season, South Florida is averaging 44.1 ppg on 506.4 total yards per game (238.0 passing, 268.4 rushing). Offensively, the Bulls have been led by QB Quinton Flowers who had completed 58.6% of his passes for 13 TD and 5 INT while averaging 219.3 passing yds/game. Flowers is also the 2nd leading rusher for the Bulls as he has 7 rushing TD’s while averaging 93.57 rushing yds/game. South Florida has an outstanding backfield as besides Flowers, the Bulls are led by Marlon Mack (14.0 att/g, 98.67 yds/g, 9 TD) and D’Ernest Johnson (8.0 att/g, 43.57 yds/g, 4 TD). Rodney Adams (4.6 rec/g, 65.6 yds/g, 4 TD), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (2.1 rec/g, 35.9 yds/g, 2 TD), and D’Ernest Johnson (2.4 rec/g, 23.9 yds/g, 4 TD) are the leading receivers for the Bulls. Defensively, South Florida is holding their opponents to an average of 25.9 ppg on 436.1 total yards per game (246.0 passing, 190.1 rushing). The Bulls have forced 13 turnovers on the season and have an overall turnover margin of +3.

The Temple Owls improved to 4-3 (2-1 AAC) on the season after defeating the UCF Knights, 26-25, this past Saturday. Temple had a sluggish start on the defensive end, however, was able to overcome a 25-14 halftime deficit to secure the win. Temple outgained UCF by a 364-296 margin however, lost the turnover battle by a 2-1 margin. Leading the way for Temple was RB Jahad Thomas who had a TD and 120 rushing yds/g. On the season, Temple is averaging 32.0 ppg on 378.0 total yards per game (230.1 passing, 147.9 rushing). Offensively, the Owls have been led by the backfield duo of Jahad Thomas (17.0 att/g, 71.4 yds/g, 7 TD) and Ryquell Armstead (10.1 att/g, 57.8 yds/g, 7 TD). QB Phillip Walker has completed 56.2% of his passes for 10 TD and 10 INT while averaging 226.0 passing yds/game. Keith Kirkwood (3.3 rec/g, 47.7 yds/g, 3 TD), Jahad Thomas (3.6 rec/g, 50.2 yds/g, 3 TD), Ventell Bryant (3.8 rec/g, 57.8 yds/g, TD), and Brodrick Yancy (2.7 rec/g, 30.0 yds/g, 2 TD) are the leading receivers for the Owls. Defensively, Temple is holding their opponents to an average of 23.0 ppg on 316.6 total yards per game (166.7 passing, 149.9 rushing). Temple has forced their opponents into committing 14 turnovers on the season however, have just a +1 turnover margin on the season.

The Bulls are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games. The Owls are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 conference games.

South Florida has one of the most explosive offenses in the country and come into this matchup with the 8th ranked scoring offense and 15th ranked total offense. Temple has a few playmakers on the offensive end in Jahad Thomas and Phillip Walker and although their defense lost a few key players from last year’s team, the Owls come into this matchup with the 38th ranked scoring defense. South Florida has one of the best offenses in the country which should be able to put up some points on the Owls and as I just don’t see Phillip Walker getting through this matchup without a few turnovers, I think the Bulls pull away in this one and cover this spread. Take South Florida to cover.

BRETT'S PICK
South Florida Bulls -6.5

Preview and Prediction: Oregon Ducks (2-4) at California Golden Bears (3-3)
By Randy Chambers
Friday, October 21, 2016 at 10:30 pm (California Memorial Stadium)
The Line: California Golden Bears -3 -- Over/Under: 87.5
TV: ESPN

The Oregon Ducks and Cal Golden Bears square off late Friday night in a Pac-12 college football game at Memorial Stadium on ESPN.

The Oregon Ducks are desperate for a victory in order to snap a brutal four-game losing streak. The Oregon Ducks haven’t lost five games since the 2006 college football season. Dakota Prukop is completing 66.2 percent of his passes for 1,173 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions. Prukop and Justin Herbert have combined for 10 touchdown passes this season. Darren Carrington II and Charles Nelson have combined for 636 receiving yards and three touchdowns while Dwayne Stanford has 13 receptions. The Oregon Ducks ground game is averaging 257.8 yards per contest, and Royce Freeman leads the way with 513 yards and seven touchdowns. Defensively, Oregon is allowing 41.8 points and 522.3 yards per game. Tyree Robinson leads the Oregon Ducks with 32 tackles, Troy Dye has three sacks and Brenden Schooler has two interceptions.

The Cal Golden Bears look for a strong home victory to get a game above a .500 record. The Cal Golden Bears have won four straight home games. Davis Webb is completing 60.8 percent of his passes for 2,256 yards, 22 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Webb has four or more touchdown passes in five of the six games this season. Chad Hansen and Demetris Robertson have combined for 1,108 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns while Melquise Stovall has 24 receptions. The Cal Golden Bears ground game is averaging 152.3 yards per contest, and Khalfani Muhammad leads the way with 377 yards and two touchdowns. Defensively, California is allowing 40 points and 494.7 yards per game. Raymond Davison leads the Cal Golden Bears with 52 tackles, Cameron Saffle has 2.5 sacks and Evan Rambo has one interception.

The Ducks are 22-6-1 ATS in their last 29 road games and 0-7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The Golden Bears are 9-20 ATS in their last 29 home games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 conference games. The Ducks are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 meetings and the home team is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 meetings.

These are two of the worst defensive teams in college football, so a battle between Oregon and Cal may come down to which team has the ball last. However, the Cal Golden Bears have been more consistent offensively than the Oregon Ducks. Oregon simply isn't a good football team right now and likely has little confidence after getting waxed by Washington. Even in its losses, Cal has competed.

Cal is better than Oregon, so give me the home team and the small line.

RANDY'S PICK
California Golden Bears -3

Preview and Prediction: San Jose State Spartans (2-5) at San Diego State Aztecs (5-1)
By Randy Chambers
Friday, October 21, 2016 at 10:30 pm (Qualcomm Stadium)
The Line: San Diego State Aztecs -23.5 -- Over/Under: 48
TV: ESPN2

The San Jose State Spartans and San Diego State Aztecs meet Friday night in a college football matchup at Qualcomm Stadium on ESPN2.

The San Jose State Spartans look for their first road win and back-to-back wins for the first time this season. The San Jose State Spartans have three road wins since the 2014 season. Kenny Potter is completing 58.5 percent of his passes for 1,148 yards, nine touchdowns and six interceptions. Potter has four touchdown passes in his last three games. Tre Hartley and Justin Holmes have combined for 787 receiving yards and four touchdowns while Tim Crawley has 22 receptions. The San Jose State Spartans ground game is averaging 160.7 yards per contest, and Malik Roberson leads the way with 329 yards and one touchdown. Defensively, San Jose State is allowing 35.7 points and 444 yards per game. Maurice McKnight leads the San Jose State Spartans with 53 tackles, Isaiah Irving has three sacks and Andre Chachere has three interceptions.

The San Diego State Aztecs look to remain undefeated at home and build on their MWC lead. The San Diego State Aztecs have lost just one home game since the 2014 season. Christian Chapman is completing 62.8 percent of his passes for 984 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions. Chapman has two touchdown passes in his last three games. Mikah Holder and Eric Judge have combined for 507 receiving yards and three touchdowns while Donnel Pumphrey has 18 receptions. The San Diego State Aztecs ground game is averaging 246 yards per contest, and Pumphrey leads the way with 1,111 yards and 11 touchdowns. Defensively, San Diego State is allowing 20 points and 297.2 yards per game. Calvin Munson leads the San Diego State Aztecs with 58 tackles, Alex Barrett has six sacks and Damontae Kazee has three interceptions.

The Spartans are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games in October and 2-10 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. The Aztecs are 23-9-2 ATS in their last 34 conference games and 8-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record. The Spartans are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings in San Diego State and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 meetings overall.

San Jose State showed signs of improvement with a victory over Nevada last week, but the Spartans still aren't a good football team. San Jose State has had it rough on the road this season and has been outscored by San Diego State in the last two matchups by a combined scor of 68-14. The San Diego State Aztecs are the cream of the crop in the MWC and have been great at covering the number while piling up outright victories.

So, while the spread is a bit high, the San Diego State Aztecs should be able to get the job done at home.

RANDY'S PICK
San Diego State Aztecs -23.5

Re: NCAA Football Betting Info 10/21

Friday's Tip Sheet
By Brian Edwards

**South Florida at Temple**

-- South Florida (6-1 straight up, 5-2 against the spread) is thriving in its fourth season of Willie Taggart’s tenure. The Bulls have posted wins vs. Towson (56-20), vs. No. Illinois (48-17), at Syracuse (45-20), at Cincinnati (45-20), vs. East Carolina (38-22) and vs. UConn (42-27). They have just one loss to ACC powerhouse FSU by a 55-35 count on Sept. 24.

-- USF failed to cover the 20-point spread in last week’s win over the Huskies at Raymond James Stadium. The 69 combined points catapulted ‘over’ the 53.5-point total. The Bulls went to intermission with a 14-3 advantage over UConn, only to see the Huskies score twice and take the lead in the first three minutes of the third quarter. Taggart’s bunch answered with 14 straight points on an eight-yard touchdown run by junior quarterback Quinton Flowers, who also found Marquez Valdes-Scantling for a 26-yard scoring strike. After UConn trimmed the deficit to 28-20 with 8:12 remaining thanks to a short field goal, USF created some separation with a 29-yard TD pass from Flowers to Mitchell Wilcox with 4:21 left for a 35-20 lead. When Marlon Mack scored on a 34-yard TD scamper with 2:57 remaining, the Bulls were ahead of the number with a 42-20 advantage for the first time in the entire game. However, to the disgust of USF backers, UConn QB Bryant Shirreffs found Alec Bloom for a four-yard TD pass with 57 ticks left to give the Huskies the backdoor cover in the 42-27 defeat.

-- Flowers rushed for a team-high 157 yards and three TDs on 16 attempts. He also completed 23-of-37 throws for 213 yards and two TDs, but he was intercepted twice. Mack rushed 16 times for 107 yards and one TD and also had six catches for 75 yards.

-- As of Thursday, most betting shops had South Fla. listed as a seven-point favorite with a total of 60 points. The Owls were +220 on the money line (risk $100 to win $220).

-- USF owns a 4-1 spread record in five games as a road favorite on Taggart’s watch, including 45-20 wins at Syracuse and Cincy this year.

-- USF’s offense ranks eighth in the nation in scoring, producing 44.1 points per game. The Bulls are 15th in total offense and eighth in rushing with a 261.9 yards-per-game average.

-- Flowers has connected on 58.6 percent of his passes for 1,530 yards with a 13/5 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He has also run for a team-best 655 yards and seven TDs with a 7.0 yards-per-carry average. Mack has rushed for 592 yards and nine TDs and also has a 7.0 YPC average. Rodney Adams has a team-high 32 receptions for 459 yards and four TDs.

-- Temple (4-3 SU, 6-1 ATS) can pull into a first-place tie with USF in the AAC East with a win in this spot. Actually, the Owls would then own the tiebreaker so they’d technically be ahead of the Bulls despite an identical record in league play. They improved to 2-1 in conference action with last week’s 26-25 come-from-behind win at Central Florida as 3.5-point road underdogs.

-- Matt Rhule’s squad trailed 25-7 at UCF late in the second quarter until senior RB Jahad Thomas scored on a seven-yard TD run. In the third quarter, the Owls pulled to within 25-20 thanks to a pair of field goals from Aaron Boumerhi. Still behind by that margin, Temple took possession at its own 30 with 32 ticks left. P.J. Walker connected on passes of 20, 16 and 26 yards to move to the UCF eight with 10 seconds remaining. With the clock stopped to move the chains, UCF understandably felt like the Owls were about to spike the ball. Instead, Walker threw to the end zone and found a leaping Keith Kirkwood in the back of the end zone with one second remaining to lift his team to the improbable victory in Orlando. Thomas rushed for 120 yards and one score on 27 attempts. He also had three catches for 33 yards and one TD. Walker completed 12-of-24 passes for 167 yards and two TDs with one interception. Ventell Bryant had five catches for 94 yards.

-- Since losing at home to Army by a 28-13 count as a 14.5-point ‘chalk’ in its season opener, Temple has taken the cash in six consecutive games. The Owls have won three of their four home games both SU and ATS, including wins over Stony Brook (38-0), Charlotte (48-20) and SMU (45-20).

-- Temple’s two other losses came at Penn State (34-27) and at Memphis (34-27).

-- There’s something about these evened-year seasons for Walker. As a freshman in 2013, an odd-numbered year, Walker had 20 TD passes compared to only eight interceptions. But in 2014, he slumped with a 13/15 TD-INT ratio. Then during the ’15 campaign when the Owls won 10 games, Walker had a 19/8 TD-INT ratio. This season, however, he has completed just 56.2 percent of his passes for 1,582 yards with a 10/10 TD-INT ratio.

-- Thomas, who rushed for 1,262 yards and 17 TDs last year, missed the first two games with an injury. In the five games since his return, Thomas has run for 357 yards and seven TDs with a 4.2 YPC average. He also has 18 receptions for 251 yards and three TDs. Ryquell Armstead has 71 carries for a team-high 403 yards and seven TDs with a 5.7 YPC average. Kirkwood has 23 catches for 334 yards and three TDs.

-- Temple has been a home underdog 10 times during Rhule’s four-year tenure, compiling a 7-3 spread record with three outright victories.

-- Temple owns an 18-7 spread record in 25 games as an underdog on Rhule’s watch.

-- Temple came to Tampa with an 8-1 record and ranked No. 21 in the country last season, but USF took it to the Owls. The Bulls led 31-10 at intermission on their way to a 44-23 win as two-point home underdogs. The 67 combined points sailed ‘over’ the 44.5-point total. Flowers threw for 230 yards and two TDs without an interception. Mack rushed 21 times for 230 yards and two TDs, while Flowers rushed for 90 yards and one TD on 18 attempts. Adams hauled in seven receptions for 147 yards and one TD, while Mack added three catches for 42 yards and one TD. In the losing effort, Walker completed only 20-of-48 passes for 259 yards and one TD with one interception. Thomas was limited to 65 rushing yards and one TD on 16 carries.

-- Temple senior free safety Nate L Smith is listed as ‘questionable’ this week. Rhule told local reporters that Smith participated in non-contact drills at Tuesday’s practice. Smith has recorded 27 tackles with one interception and one tackle for loss. Junior safety Sean Chandler, who was a second-team All-AAC selection last year when he had 66 tackles, 4.5 TFL’s, four interceptions and 10 passes broken up, is ‘out’ again this week due to a knee injury. Chandler, who will be missing a fourth straight game, had 23 tackles, one interception and 1.5 TFL’s before getting injured.

-- The ‘over’ is 4-3 overall for the Owls, 2-2 in their home outings. They have seen their games average combined scores of 55.0 PPG. The ‘over’ had cashed in four straight for Temple until last week’s 51 combined points slipped ‘under’ the 51.5-point tally when the Owls two-point conversion try with one second left failed.

-- The ‘over’ has hit at a 5-2 clip overall for USF, going 1-1 in a pair of road assignments. The Bulls have seen their games average combined scores of 70.0 PPG.

-- As of Wednesday, the weather.com forecast for Friday night at Lincoln Financial Field called for a 50-percent chance of rain with 14 mph winds and a low temperature of 47 degrees.

-- Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.

**Oregon at California**

-- As of Thursday, most spots had California (3-3 SU, 3-3 ATS) listed as a three-point favorite with a total of 87.5 points. The Ducks were +135 on the money line. The 87.5-point tally is the highest of the entire season in college football.

-- Oregon (2-4 SU, 0-5-1 ATS) has lost four in a row and has the nation’s worst ATS record. The Ducks have been deplorable on defense recently, giving up 35, 41, 51 and 70 during their four-game slide.

-- Mark Helfrich is on the hot seat in the fourth season of his tenure. Oregon started the season with wins over UC Davis (53-28) and Virginia (44-26) at home, but it has now dropped games at Nebraska (35-32), vs. Colorado (41-38), at Washington State (51-33) and vs. Washington (70-21).

-- Chris Petersen’s UW squad went into Autzen Stadium in Eugene and dealt out a ruthless beatdown. The scary part of this clubbing was that the Huskies had 70 with 9:58 remaining in the fourth quarter. They led by scores of 28-0 and 42-7, producing 682 yards of total offense. In the losing effort, true freshman QB Justin Herbert completed 21-of-34 passes for 179 yards and two TDs with one interception. He was making his first career start.

-- Herbert is expected to get his second starting nod ahead of Montana State transfer Dakota Prukop, who started the first five games. Prukop had connected on 66.2 percent of his passes for 1,173 yards with an 8/2 TD-INT ratio.

-- Oregon leads the Pac-12 in rushing, splitting the carries between four different productive RBs. Royce Freeman has run for a team-best 513 yards and seven TDs while averaging 7.7 YPC. Tony Brooks-James has 331 rushing yards, six TDs and a 7.0 YPC average. Kani Benoit (32-222, 2 TDs, 6.9 YPC) and Taj Griffin (29-168, 3 TDs, 5.8 YPC) also get their fair share of touches.

-- Oregon’s best WR is junior Darren Carrington, who has 24 catches for 351 yards and three TDs. Charles Nelson has 31 receptions for 285 yards, but he hasn’t scored yet.

-- Oregon is ranked 127th in the nation in total defense, allowing 522.3 yards per game. The Ducks are No. 125 in scoring defense (41.8 PPG).

-- Oregon will be without three starters due to injuries: WR Dwayne Stanford, OT Tyrell Crosby and LB Johnny Ragin. Stanford has 13 receptions for 175 yards and one TD, while Ragin had 29 tackles, one TFL and one QB hurry before going down with a season-ending injury after four games.

-- Cal has wins vs. Hawaii (51-31 in Sydney, Australia), vs. Texas (50-43) and vs. Utah (28-23). The Golden Bears have lost 45-40 at San Diego State, 51-41 at Arizona State and at 47-44 at Oregon State in double overtime.

-- In the double OT loss at Oregon State, senior QB Davis Webb injured his hand and was held to season lows in every statistical category. Webb, who used the bye week to get healthy, completed only 23-of-44 passes for 113 yards and zero TDs with one interception. Therefore, Sonny Dykes’s offense leaned on ground attack and it worked. Khalfani Muhammad rushed for 164 yards and one TD on 21 carries. Tre Watson added 134 rushing yards and two TDs on 16 attempts.

-- Webb has completed 183-of-301 passes for 2,256 yards with a 22/7 TD-INT ratio. The Texas Tech transfer has also rushed for three TDs. Webb’s favorite target is Chad Hansen, who has 59 receptions for 770 yards and eight TDs. Demetris Robertson, a true freshman who was a five-star recruit, has 20 catches for 338 yards and five TDs. Melquis Stovall, another true freshman who was a four-star signee, has 24 receptions for 274 yards and two TDs.

-- Muhammad has rushed for a team-high 377 yards and two TDs while averaging 6.9 YPC. Vic Enwere was recently lost for the season due to a broken foot. Enwere had rushed for 336 yards and a pair of scores with a 5.5 YPC average. Watson has 297 rushing yards, two TDs and a 5.8 YPC average.

-- Cal is fourth in the country in passing yards (377.8 YPG) and 10th in scoring, averaging 42.3 PPG.

-- Cal ranks No. 121 in total defense (494.7 YPG), No. 127 in rushing defense (283.8 YPG) and No. 123 in scoring ‘D’ (40.0 PPG).

-- Oregon has won seven in a row over Cal by an average margin of 26.0 PPG. The Ducks have produced a 6-1 spread record in those contests. The ‘under’ is 7-2 in the last nine head-to-head meetings.

-- When these Pac-12 rivals met in Eugene last year, Oregon captured a 44-28 win as a four-point home ‘chalk.’ Freeman was the catalyst with 180 rushing yards on 29 carries.

-- The ‘over’ has cashed at a 5-1 overall clip for the Golden Bears, going 1-1 in their home outings. They have seen their games average combined scores of 82.3 PPG.

-- The ‘over’ is 4-2 overall for the Ducks, 1-1 in their road assignments. Their games have averaged combined scores of 78.7 PPG.

-- ESPN will provide the telecast at 10:30 p.m. Eastern.

**B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**

-- There’s a third game on Friday’s card: San Jose State at San Diego State. As of Thursday, most books had the Aztecs as 23.5-point home favorites with a total of 48.

-- Since Utah joined the Pac-12 in 2011, all five of its games against UCLA have gone ‘under’ the total. When the Utes and Bruins meet at The Rose Bowl this weekend, the Utes will be without a number of key players. Junior safety Marcus Williams, who was a first-team All Pac-12 selection last year, is ‘out’ with an undisclosed injury. Williams is third on the team in tackles (33) and has three interceptions, one TFL and one forced fumble. Utah offensive tackle J.J. Dielman is also ‘out’ after sustaining a season-ending foot injury earlier this month. Dielman was a second-team All Pac-12 pick last year. In addition, junior LB Sunia Tauteoli is ‘out’ with a leg injury. Tauteoli is tied for the team lead in tackles with 43 stops, one interception (for a TD via 41-yard return), two TFL’s, one sack and one forced fumble. The Bruins are seven-point home favorites against Utah.

-- Oregon State starting QB Darell Garretson is out for the rest of the year with an ankle injury. Also, the Beavers' No. 2 QB is out this week at Washington, so third-stringer Marcus McMaryion will get the second start of his career against the Huskies. The QB depth situation is so dire for OSU that Utah State legend Chuckie Keeton, who is now the quality control coach for his former head coach Gary Andersen, will run the scout team this week. Keeton's eligibility at Utah State ran out after last season.

-- Southern Cal junior WR Steven Mitchell is out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL. Mitchell had 24 receptions for 226 yards and two TDs this year.

-- Michigan State has lost four in a row for the first time during Mark Dantonio’s tenure.

-- With FAU finally getting its first spread cover of the season last week, Oregon is now the only school in the nation that has yet to cover. The Ducks, who are 0-5-1 ATS and have lost four in a row outright, are at California on Friday night.

-- Best ATS squads: Colorado (7-0), Western Michigan (6-1), Eastern Michigan (6-1), Temple (6-1), Auburn (5-1), North Carolina State (5-1), Wisconsin (5-1), Nebraska (4-1-1), North Texas (4-1-1) and Tulane (4-1-1).

Tech Trends - Week 8
By Bruce Marshall

Friday, Oct. 20

SOUTH FLORIDA at TEMPLE... Bulls on 12-3-1 reg season run vs. spread. USF 5-1 vs. spread last six as visitor and romped past Owls LY at Tampa. Temple 7-3 as home dog since 2013 and 17-7 last 24 as dog for Rhule (since 2013).

Slight to USF, based on team trends.
