after a nice little scare in week 1 from Kansas State, we have an equally likely candidate for an upset coming our way in the form of the South Florida Bulls. now USF ranks among my top 10 in Ugliest Fucking Uniforms in College Football...but they also rank among the top 10 sleeper teams to fuck up your team's season. don't believe me? just ask Louisville in 2005 and and West Fucking Virginia last year. if you've got BCS dreams then South Florida has plans of smashing them.
with the way the Tiger's offence slept through nearly all of last Saturday's matchup with K State i am definitely worried....but not so much this week. USF doesn't exactly stop anyone and i think/hope/pray/curse the gods that Auburn will be able to establish the run game early and often. South Florida's star QB, sophomore Matt Grothe was impressive last year. he's mobile for a white QB and makes alot of plays with his feet...leading the team last year with 622 yards on the ground in fact. Auburn's defencive speed should hopefully negate that aspect and with any luck they can create turnovers and points. if this somehow turns into a shootout then i don't like Auburn's chances...but if they can play solid D and keep it close then the probability of a 4th quarter meltdown from the young QB seems pretty likely. actually i sort of expect almost the exact same game as last week. with luck that'll be the last one like this.
i know in 2004 we paid a huge price for scheduling cream puffs, but this season i think we could have used one to start things off...a little appetizer...but then again we could have ended up like Michigan.
Potential for Tragedy: 5.5 (only because of USF's history as giant killers)
method of suicide: hanging...the slow painful kind
