Thursday Night Football: USF vs. West Virginia

NFL Prospects to Watch:

West Virginia

RB Noel Devine - Explosive playmaker but only about 5'7". Could be very similar to Darren Sproles.

S Robert Sands (Jr.)- Great size (6'5" 220 lbs) and production (65 tackles and 5 INT last year). I really want to see how fluid of an athlete the tall safety is.

CB Brandon Hogan - Impressive 74 tackles and 11 pass break ups last year.

South Florida

DE Craig Marshall - Sat behind defensive ends Jason Pierre-Paul and George Selvie last year so he is finally getting a chance to start.

Overview: It is a rebuilding year for the South Florida Bulls. Their three wins have come against some pretty bad teams, and they recently lost to Syracuse. So this is a game the Moutaineers should easily win. RB Jeff Demps of Florida ran all over the South Florida defense, so look for Noel Devine, who is a similar type runner to have a big day.

The Pick: West Virginia -10.5
