COLLEGE FOOTBALL FREE PICK: Last year, Rutgers (+2) won over South Florida, 20-17ot. The Bulls kick off conference play at home against Rutgers and head coach Skip Holtz. They edged Nevada on the road last week, but lost junior WR Sterling Griffin to a knee injury. Sophomore Andre Davis will have to step up for the Bulls, who are led by QB B.J. Daniels. Through two games, Daniels has 588 passing yards with six touchdowns and only one pick. Rutgers is 2-0 but has yet to be tested, as they played the likes of Tulane and 1-AA Howard. The Scarlet Knights are under a new coaching staff and they’ll hope to rely on their defense and running game. Their offense, which scored just 26 points against Howard, is still a work-in-progress. USF’s defense will step up this week.
