Maryland (1-0) at South Florida (1-0) Sept. 6, 3:30, CBS Sports Network
Here's The Deal: Maryland began life as the Big Ten?s new kid on the block by annihilating James Madison, 52-7. It was a crisp all-around effort for the Terrapins, who possess the some of the base ingredients needed to surprise in their first year in a new league. South Florida flirted with disaster in Week 1, and almost got burned by an FCS team for a second straight year. Sure, a win?s a win, but needing to rally to beat Western Carolina means the Bulls may not be much better than last year?s two-win squad.
Why Maryland Might Win: Western Carolina had success through the air on South Florida, converting twice as many first downs as the Bulls. That USF D will have problems with Maryland?s myriad offensive weapons. C.J. Brown is a cagey dual-threat quarterback, the ground game has momentum and Stefon Diggs and Deon Long are prolific pass-catchers. This is a tall order for a revamped Bull defense.
Why South Florida Might Win: Willie Taggart?s system requires a capable feature back. The coach may have found his man in true freshman Marlon Mack, who ran wild in his debut. His 275 yards and four touchdowns could signal a new day for the necrotic South Florida offense. A legit running threat will create more downfield chances for receivers Andre Davis and Chris Dunkley.
Who To Watch Out For: The Maryland staff was ecstatic by its team?s blocking, a bugaboo in recent years. But can the Terps? play in the trenches become a trend? The no-name unit will be facing a seasoned South Florida front seven that brought a lot of pressure from the second level in the opener.
What?s Going To Happen: The Terps played well on the road for Randy Edsall in 2013, a trend that?ll continue this fall. While Mack gives the Bulls hope for the future, South Florida can?t match Maryland?s overall options or experience behind center. The Terps will get to 2-0 without ever trailing in this one.
Prediction: Maryland 34 ? South Florida 20
Line: Maryland -12.5 o/u: 50

THIS WAS CUT AND PASTED, HOWEVER ALL I KNOW IF A TEAM STRUGGLED AGAINST WESTERN CAROLINA THEY HAVE TO SUCK. MAYBE THATS GOOD ENOUGH
