Duke Watson leads a deep UCF backfield with 120 yards and 1 touchdown on 13 carries. Agyeman Addae has produced 74 yards and 1 score on 4 attempts, while Landen Chambers has added 56 yards and 2 touchdowns on 6 carries.

Georgia State vs UCF Pick

UCF was nearly shut down against Pittsburgh last week, but the Knights should have considerably more success against Georgia State. The Panthers have played well through 2 games and possess enough rushing depth to avoid becoming one-dimensional. Still, UCFโ€™s talent and physicality should eventually take over at home. Watson and the rest of the Knightsโ€™ backfield can wear down Georgia State and create easier passing opportunities for Barnett. The Panthers should compete early, but UCF is likely to control the second half. Take the Knights to win convincingly, although Georgia State can do enough offensively to keep the final margin inside 17.5 points.
