This week, we asked our readers to give their score predictions for Florida State’s contest against South Florida on Saturday:
From the Staff
Florida State (1-0) hosts the South Florida Bulls (1-0) this week. Coached by Willie Taggart, the Bulls went 2-10 in 2013 – his first year and the program’s first in the American Conference. While they improved to 4-8 last year, USF hasn’t been to a bowl game since 2010.
Taggart tried to play the Jim Harbaugh-at-Stanford traditional offense approach but the Bulls were woefully overmatched and played poorly, so they have transitioned this offseason to an offense that many under-talented programs feel they have to run to compete — the up-tempo spread. Under Taggart, the Bulls have also changed their base defense three times. They will be worse on offense than Texas State but much better on defense.
Florida State will win if it can limit its turnovers to no more than one and avoid taking the game for an automatic win.
Prediction: 38-10 ‘Noles
