The Mustangs rank #3 in the nation with 570 yards/game and are #13 is scoring offense with 38.7 points per game. OU transfer Tanner Mordecai ranks #6 nationally in QB rating and leads the nation in TD passes with 20 - five more than any other FBS QB.

On the other side of the ball USF ranks #127 (4th worst) nationally with 546 yards allowed per game #119 in scoring defense with 40.7 points allowed per game - this to teams starting a QB in his first game back from a broken leg, a QB who had started 1 game in his college career and a back up QB. Now they will face one of the hottest QB's in the country.

It won't matter how improved USF's offense may be under McClain, I expect SMU, who ranks #27 nationally in plays per game, to run a thin USF defense up and down the field and to name their own score.

Key Numbers:
  • In 11 FBS games at USF, Glenn Spencer's defenses have recovered one fumble.
  • In their last 5 FBS games USF is allowing a TD on 50% of their opponents possesions

PICK: SMU (-20.5)
2021 Record: 3-0
