USF quarterback Byrum Brown has shown plenty of upside this season. Through eight games, he’s thrown for over 1,960 yards with 17 touchdowns to six interceptions.

While his completion rate sits at just 63%, he more than makes up for it with his mobility—he’s logged 120 rushing attempts for 596 yards and eight scores.

In most situations with a dual-threat quarterback like Brown, I’d be more inclined to target his rushing yards rather than his passing. However, based on the expected game script and tempo, I think South Florida will look to keep him more controlled in the pocket instead of leaning on designed runs.

He shouldn’t need to get overly creative to produce against this vulnerable Roadrunners defense. This is a strong matchup for him—UTSA has struggled against the pass, ranking 120th in EPA per dropback and allowing 253.4 passing yards per game.

I expect Brown to take advantage and clear his passing prop of 260.5 yards.

The second prop I’m targeting is UTSA’s top receiver, Devin McCuin, over 49.5 receiving yards. McCuin is averaging 5.4 catches and 57.5 yards per game and has gone over 50 yards in six of eight contests.

As a double-digit underdog, UTSA will likely be forced into a pass-heavy script, which should keep McCuin heavily involved throughout. His quarterback, Owen McCown, is a capable passer and has clearly expressed favoritism toward McCuin.

That’s his go-to guy, and he should be looking to get him involved early and often throughout tonight’s affair.
