OUR PREDICTION: Look for the Seminoles to rebound from their ugly loss to the Cardinals. Florida State is well-coached under Jimbo Fisher and will show some maturity in bouncing back this week. The Seminoles are taking on a Bulls team that is 83rd in the nation in rushing yards allowed at 161.0, so look for Dalvin Cook to get loose a couple of times in the USF secondary. After rushing for just 54 yards on 16 carries (3.4 YPC) last week at Louisville, it’s time for the Heisman winner to put together a big game and lead this FSU team back from the doldrums.
