USF vs Florida 2010 College Football Picks: First year head coach Skip Holtz will bus up Interstate- 75 to Gainesville, with his University of South Florida Bulls (1-0) football team to face the No. 8 (AP) Florida Gators (1-0) at the Swamp in a BIG EAST vs. SEC battle with a 12:20 Saturday kick-off. BetOnline.com lists the Gators as 15 1/2-chalk favorites versus the Bulls with a 50 total.
Florida QB John Brantley got his first career start last week and completed 17 of 25 passes (60.0 percent) for 113 yards and two touchdowns, while throwing no interceptions and not being sacked. Jeff Demps carried eight times for 98 yards, including a 72-yard score. In three career opening-day games, has rushed for 263 yards and four touchdowns. He also added a 34-yard kickoff return. Playing his first game since officially moving from running back to wide receiver, Chris Rainey led the team with a career best six receptions for 34 yards and a touchdown. The Gators offense had plenty of issues with fumbles and botched snaps.
B.J. Daniels threw for 264 yards and two touchdowns Saturday night, helping the University of South Florida launch the Skip Holtz era with a 59-14 rout of Stony Brook in the season opener for both teams. Daniels teamed with Dontavia Bogan on a 59- yard score on the Bulls' first offensive play. The third-year sophomore later threw a 27-yard TD pass to Joel Miller. Miller did not have a career reception before Saturday night. Daniels completed 15 of 22 passes before leaving the game after leading a five play, 80-yard TD drive to start the second half.
South Florida was a 59-14 winner in their most recent outing at home against Stony Brook. They covered the 36 point spread as favorites, while the total score (73) made winners of OVER bettors.
Florida was a 34-12 winner in its last match at home against Miami (Ohio). They failed to cover the 38 1/2 point spread as favorites, while the total score of 46 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.
Reno Gold Pick: I'm sticking my neck out on this one and betting that Florida fixed its offensive issues from week-1's near debacle with Miami(Ohio). I think they come back looking good in week-2. I like the Gators -15 1/2. The Bulls will have their attention where the Red Hawks didn't.
