USF vs Miami Prediction

I’m on Miami here. I know it’s an in-state showdown and USF will relish the chance to host one of the big boys, but we saw USF look comPetitive against Alabama for the second year in a row, but this year the Bulls just ran out of steam in the second half and I worry the same could happen here against a Miami team with a ton of firepower, arguably as much firepower offensively as Alabama has. The Hurricanes have gotten after everyone they’ve gone against and I think USF is going to be no different. Give me the ‘Canes big.
