And corner Bobby McCain is the only one in the secondary who hasn’t picked off a pass. Is Miami luckier than good? Loot Levinson breaks down the game and offers his pick.
Central Florida has allowed just 17 points on the season. It’s hard to say what that means with the opponents being really weak. Maybe it means the opponents have been really weak?

Loot Levinson takes a look and gives his football pick.

The two schools are a little more than an hour apart from each other and have met a few times over the years—Eastern Washington may be from the lower BIG Sky Conference, but they are as good or better than any team the Cougars have faced this season.
