Larry Ness' LEGEND Play-CFB (7-2 or 77.8% ATS in CFB's regular season since '05!)
My LEGEND Play is on South Florida at 8:00 ET. Louisville finished 12-1 last year, after beating Wake in the Orange Bowl (24-13) and was expected battle West Va for the Big East crown (maybe even compete for the national championship?). That's hardly been the case, as the Cardinals enter this game just 5-5 and are still looking to become bowl eligible. USF opened 6-0, got ranked for the first time in school history and made a huge splash by opening No. 2 in the first BCS standings of the year! However, things fell apart quickly for the Bulls. They lost consecutive road games at Rutgers (30-27) and U Conn (22-17) and then lost 38-33 at home to Cincy. However, USF did "right the ship" with an easy 41-10 win at Syracuse last week (582 yards). Don't sell USF short. The Bulls could have easily won both road losses (Rutgers and U Conn) and in the home loss to Cincy, imploded with EIGHT turnovers! Grothe is a "winner" at QB (2,120 YP and 11 TDs / leading rusher with 698 yards / 4.4 per / 8 TDs), plus the defense is athletic and very quick (19.4 PPG / 312.5 YPG). In fact, it features six senior starters, all playing their final home game. It will be a great test for Louisville's Brian Brohm (67.2% / 357.2 YPG / 28-9 ratio). WRs Douglas and Urrutia will face an excellent 2ndy tandem in ******* and Williams (combined 10 INTs) and Louisville's rushing game has dropped off about 50 YPG in '07, while averaging just 4.0 YPC (down from 5.0 in '06!). These teams have met the last four years with the home team winning and covering each time (includes USF's 45-14 win as 20 1/2-pt home dogs in '05!). USF is 7-2 ATS at home since its breakout year in '06 and a win here and at Pitt next Saturday, gets them a pretty good bowl bid. USF comes up big in its final home game of the year. LEGEND Play on USF.

Good Luck...Larry
