USF

BYU will come into this game knowing that they could have and should have beaten Arizona State. They will know that had they won they could have been ranked in the Top 15 and put themselves into a position to be a serious NY6 contender. They will also know that there is nothing they can do about the past and only try to make the future better.

Poor USF. South Florida should and would be a big underdog to the Cougars in any week, but with revenge and frustration on their minds, this game will be over much earlier than it probably should be. The Cougars will be up by three scores by halftime and continue that energy in the second half.
