Result:
LOSS

The Bulls won 11 games last season and I think they are in line to go undefeated this year, if everything goes right. Last year Temple and Houston were top teams, but both are going to take a dip this season. Houston is projected to win eight games, and Temple 6.5, a far cry from a year ago. This team is scary good offensively, behind Heisman Trophy candidate Quinton Flowers. Flowers passed for 2,800+ yards last year, with 24 TDs and just seven INTs, while also running for 1,530, and 18 more TDs. The Bulls offense was so good, they allowed 40+ to four teams and still won 11 games. Strong is a defensive minded coach, and has all five defensive lineman back, as well as the entire secondary. The defense should be much better. San Jose State finished at 4-8 last season, and had a very sluggish offense. It looks like Josh Love will step up as QB, but he was unimpressive a year ago, passing for just 392 yards two TDs and five INTs. The RBs are not much better, combining for 900 yards, and the OL allowed 50 sacks! This one is going to get ugly early, and the rout is on. Lay the points on South Florida.
