Sun Bowl
Streak:
Oregon is on a three game losing streak
South Florida is on a three game winning streak
Oregon Advantages:
Jonathan Stewart makes plays running, catching, and returning kicks. He's a true speed demon and an all-Pac-10 performer.
The Ducks bring good pressure, they're 14th in the nation in sacks and 1st in the nation in tackles for loss.
They're 12th in the nation in total offense!*
Oregon Disadvantages:
*Well, they're only missing the best multi-purpose QB since Vince Young. This O ain't squat without Dennis Dixon. On top of that, they're down to their 5th stringer at QB.
A three game losing streak, they're as cold as tundra.
South Florida Advantages:
The former number 2 team in the nation
Trae Williams and Mike Jenkins are an elite duo at corner. To add to this is Ben Moffit at linebacker, a truely bruttle force both against the run and the pass.
Great wins against Auburn, West Virginia, and UCF
South Florida Disadvantages:
They certainly aren't the second best team in the nation, never have been, and maybe never will be.
Matt Grothe is a risk taker at QB. He's got a 13-12 TD-Int ratio.
Writer's Picks:
okluschen: South Florida. Though I think that Oregon will be somewhat improved on offense for this game, they've done more than prove that they can't win without their star player. South Florida has had a historic year for their program, and I think they'll top the kings of Nike.
P.S. Don't hurt your eyes watching these two teams color schemes.
Zorgon: South Florida. Oregon is full of quitters, as evidenced by their 3 game slide. They always slip on a banana peel, but unlike other teams who just get back up, they fall down a waterfall. I don't care if South Florida had a coupel questionable losses, the fact is they beat West Virginia and Auburn, which should be more than enough for the Oregon Quitters. Oh, and they don't have Dennis Dixon. Riiiight.
P.S. Green and Gold is an awesome colour scheme!!!!
Jason Frost: TBA
Bottom Line: South Florida 2, Oregon 0
