Boca Raton Bowl Betting Preview
Bulls Looking to Throw
The South Florida schedule got a little bit lighter near the end of the season, and that allowed the offense to go on a bit of a run. South Florida loves to throw the football, and they have a great quarterback under center that can make some big plays.
Quarterback Byrum Brown threw for 3,078 yards and 23 touchdowns this season, but his 11 interceptions were an issue. South Florida will take some shots down the field in this game, but they can’t afford to turn the football over.
The Bulls are also averaging 185 rushing yards per game, and they are going to have to find some balance in this game. South Florida has dealt with some key NCAAF injuries on defense this season, and that has caused them to struggle at times.
Syracuse Slowing Down Opponents
The Syracuse Orange struggled to stop teams at the top of the NCAAF standings this season, but they were great against teams on their level. Syracuse doesn’t have the ability to score with South Florida, but this Syracuse roster can get stops to take control of the game.
There will be some pressure on quarterback Garrett Shrader to perform well in this game, but he didn’t exactly play well throughout the NCAAF schedule. Shrader threw for just 1,686 yards and 13 touchdowns this season, but he has shown the ability to make plays with his legs.
Syracuse is averaging just 25.3 points per game this season, and they want to try to wear down the South Florida Bulls with their physical play. The Orange did have some big offensive performances throughout the year, but they generally came against weaker opponents.
