The guesswork has begun as to where your favorite college team will go bowling. Hint: If you pull for a team from Florida, it won’t be in the playoffs.

The Predictions: USF to face a trap game against Temple

in Sports/Top Headlines by

For USF, this is the kind of game you can trip over. Temple (4-3) is a decent team. The game is in Philadelphia. And USF has won big, but in its first halves recently, it hasn’t been gangbusters. Temple’s defense (16th nationally) is good enough to keep the game close. So, as they sit on the outskirts of the top 25, are the 6-1 Bulls ripe for the plucking? Oh, USF is as explosive as ever with quarterback Quinton Flowers…

in 2017/Top Headlines by

To passers-by at the political rally on the green courtyard outside the Fairwinds Alumni building at UCF, where a U.S. Senate debate was to happen later that night, both U.S. Senate candidates must have sounded bad. Patrick Murphy‘s detractors called him privileged and said his record was among the least effective in Congress, so how could he be trusted with a higher seat? Marco Rubio‘s detractors said it was time for him to go due to his poor attendance record and opposition…
