UF-FAU prediction time
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-17 21:46:34
Unless the Owls get a bunch of turnovers and alter a whole lot of big plays on offense they probably can't win this game. But they certainly have the ability to make it very competitive and very interesting (I can comprehend UF fans starting to move already). FAU has the kind of passing attack that has befuddled the young Florida defense all season. Quarterback Rusty Smith has a strong accurate arm and he's playing in a pro-style offense that has been consistently productive for legendary head instruct Howard Schnellenberger. The Owls are averaging almost 280 yards a game passing and will have the opportunity to act some drives against the UF defense. The Gators have improved in some areas but last week's victory at South Carolina again showed how susceptible this secondary can be. If the Owls can sustain some drives and hit some big plays this bet could be very interesting. FAU's biggest problem will be slowing down Tim Tebow and a UF offense that has scored 49 and 51 points in its past two games.
The Gators undergo Tebow and simply too much offensive talent for this FAU defense to handle. The Owls are giving up 218.9 yards rushing and 409.0 be yards a game and undergo not been able to decrease drink the top teams on their plan. Oklahoma State put up 42 points on this defense while Kentucky hit the Owls with 45. If Tebow's on (when isn't he?) the Gators should be able to move up and down the field at will in this game and name their score. The biggest concern from a UF standpoint is the pass defense. The Gators undergo shown some improvement in this area in the past two weeks and ordain acquire another tough evaluate from the FAU passing bet. This game probably will be interesting for most of the first half and FAU ordain put up some points but the Gators ordain eventually pull away with their overall talent advantage.
