UCF can hang with West Virginia because of the way the D-Line is playing. Other than that, UCF's offense hasn't been THAT impressive. Take away the pick and walk into the endzone 14-3.
In my Yahoo! NCAA Pick 'Em group, two of the three ex-WVU students picked South Florida (plus the points).
When you're on the 9 yard line, with momentum...And at worst, you get a FG... And toss an INT off your back foot? That has to be a killer...But not yet says WVU defense...
You can't say a game is over when a team with an explosive offense is only down by 15 in the 3rd quarter. I think you agree as indicated by the fact you are still posting in this thread.
How many times, pro and college, do we see a team turn it on in the 4th? Plenty of times. It's likely it won't happen tonight, but it would not be a miraculous thing if it happened.
I don't want to hear the "Pat White was hurt" excuse from anybody...he played the entire first half and USF shut him down in the passing game (Moffitt's pick 6) and they shut him down where is makes most team's pay - on the ground. USF is playing all out tonight. This program is going to become a Big East powerhouse if they finish off WVU tonight. This will help them so much in recruiting.
Now I'm going to pull for a USC vs SEC team national championship game. I want to see USC dismantle LSU or Florida.
I wouldn't use any excuse because A) White does this every year and B) Brown is a good backup. Back in 2004 in our Yahoo! Pick 'Em league message board, me and another guy wrote that USF would be a top 10 program in the not-too-distant future.
