After surprising the country last season with a top 10 ranking, South Florida is relevant yet again!
Just when you thought you would never hear from the South Florida Bulls ever again, they pop back up at number 10 in the top 25 rankings with an impressive 5-0 record.
The Bulls will be looking to get even higher in the ranking this week with a win over Pitt. Even though the Panthers are underdogs in this game, they haven’t looked all that bad this season with a 3-1 record coming into their match up against USF. A win over South Florida would definitely give Pittsburgh a shot at breaking into the top 25 ranking.
After last season’s disappointing loss to the Bulls 48-37 at home, the Panthers will be looking to freshman running back LeSean McCoy to lead the way for Pitt on Thursday. Even though last season McCoy was a huge threat coming out of the backfield with seven 100+ yard games he will have his work cut out for him against one toughest run defenses in the country as South Florida is ranked fourth in run defense. In the three games McCoy has played this season he has failed to reach the 100 yard mark.
Although South Florida will most likely improve to 6-0, the Panthers have a good chance at pulling off the upset due to the lack of consistent numbers from USF quarterback Bill Stull. In Stull’s first year as the starting quarterback he has only two touchdown passes in the four games he has played.
