Scott Frost is back for his second stint coaching for Central Florida, and the Knights are off to a 2-0 start with wins over Jacksonville State and a 68-7 trouncing of North Carolina A&T. They racked up 356 yards rushing against the Aggies. At the same time, the defense yielded only 40 passing yards. Tayven Jackson threw for 189 yards, and Jaden Nixon had 156 yards rushing on only four carries, plus a 96-yard kickoff return for a score. Bill Belichick is feeling slightly better with two wins under his belt after North Carolina's humiliating loss to TCU in his debut. However, the victories were against Charlotte and FCS Richmond, so this will be another tough test in his first year as a college head coach. Gio Lopez was 10 of 18 for 119 yards and two TDs, and it was Demon June who did most of the damage with 148 yards rushing on 14 carries against Richmond. North Carolina has gone UNDER eight of 12 games and six of seven on the road. The Knights are 0-4 UNDER against ACC foes. The Tarheels are 4-15-1 ATS in their past 20 games, 0-6 ATS against the Big 12. Take Central Florida and the UNDER.
