- USF is coming off a bye week after putting up a good fight against the Florida Gators two weeks ago. It was a 7-7 game in the middle of the 3rd quarter before the Gators pulled away.
- The Bulls return a veteran offensive line from an 8-4 team a year ago which will bold well for the rushing game and play making ability of quarterback B.J. Daniels.
- Speaking of B.J. Daniels, he is coming off a terrible passing performance against the Gators going 5 for 20 for only 86 yards and 4 interceptions. However, he countered that with 107 yards on the ground which proves how versatile and athletic he is.
- The defensive unit for the Bulls lost a lot of talent from last year's team, like George Selvie and Jason Pierre-Paul who are currently on NFL rosters. But they still obviously have great athletes on defense after holding the Florida offense in check for two and a half quarters.
- Look for USF to establish the passing game early with an experienced offensive line that will give Daniels time to pick apart the Hilltoppers secondary.
- The Hilltopper secondary may be suffering this weekend as they are awaiting the status of junior safety Mark Santoro after injuring his neck against Indiana.
- According to Coach Taggart, freshmen defensive backs Arius Wright and Tyree Robinson will get significant playing time Saturday against USF after performing well in the second half against the Hoosiers. At this point, I'll take anybody that wants to make plays especially on defense.
- The losing streak will continue as I expect B.J. Daniels to bounce back and have a monster game passing and running. I don't see WKU's defensive line gaining a lot of pressure against another bigger, stronger, and more athletic offensive line.
- The offense will be playing from behind yet again and need to establish Cooper, Vasquez, and Doyle into a more vertical passing game. Kawaun Jakes is bound to throw for over 200 yards sometime this season. We all know Bobby Rainey will get his yards.
- WKU at South Florida, September 25th at Raymond James Stadium
- Go Tops!
