On the other side of the football, the South Florida defense have been awful.  The Bulls sit 119th in epa per play against the pass. Additionally, they’re 118th in opponent dropback success rate.

South Florida is outside the top-100 in points, yards, and passing yards surrendered. They’ve generated only 14 sacks, but have forced 11 turnovers. In short, the Bulls defense leaves a lot to be desired, and even a putrid Florida Atlantic offense should be able to move the football.

Bare in mind, South Florida are just 1-4 in their last 5 games on the road.

FAU Betting News & Notes

FAU’s offense does most of their damage on the ground. They sit 28th in epa per rush (0.11) and churn out 144 yards per game on the ground. Regrettably, their passing game hasn’t matched that production. The Owls are 11th in epa per pass (-0.13) and generate just 6.5 yards per pass (103rd). They also convert only 28.21% of third-downs.

Junior quarterback Cam Fancher leads the Owls with 1,154 yards, five touchdowns and six interceptions. He’s also a rushing threat, with 344 yards and three more scores on the ground.

Florida Atlantic’s defense is allowing just 7.4 yards per pass, although opponents have been lighting them up on the ground, to the tune of 230 rushing yards per game. That sits 127th in the country, and is the Owls’ Achilles heel. FAU surrenders 31.2 points, 411 total yards, and allow over 41% of third-downs to be converted.

Notably, Florida Atlantic  are 2-5  against the spread in their last seven games at home.

South Florida vs FAU Prediction

Despite their struggles against the pass, South Florida’s defense ranks 12th in the country in EPA allowed per rush. That bodes well against an FAU offense that is almost completely one dimensional.

If the Bulls stop FAU from rushing the football, it could be a long night for the home squad. Back South Florida to get the job done in this Friday night contest.
