T.M. Selection: UCF Knights

I like the Central Florida Knights to win this game against the Southern Methodist Mustangs on Wednesday. UCF comes into this game off a big win against Georgia Tech last week. They've now won two in a row, while just giving up 24 pts in those games. The Knights are now ranked 6th in the nation in rushing yards per game, which is led by their duel threat QB in John Rhys Plumlee. They should have no problem in pounding the rock again here in this one against an SMU team that ranks 192nd in the country in rushing yards allowed per game. The Mustangs are off back to back losses to Maryland and TCU, and are not looking too sharp to start this season. They've got an excellent QB in Tanner Mordecai who loves to air the ball out. The only problem is that UCF ranks 35th in the country in passing defense as well. Give me the Knights here on Wednesday Night Football at home.

T.M. Prediction: 31-23 Knights.
