This game pits the 24th ranked Bulls of South Florida (6-2, 2-2 Big East) against Rutgers (6-2, 1-2 Big East)

I'm going to come out and say it, I don't know much about these teams. South Florida just finished a brutal part of their schedule playing the likes of Cincinnati (who was #8 at the time), followed by the loss against Pittsburgh (#20 at the time), and winning last week against West Virginia (#21 at the time).

Rutgers has had a significantly easier schedule this year, but that does not mean that they should be overlooked. The game will be played at Rutgers which should make it harder to win. Rutgers has won the last 3 meetings between these teams, and has won 6 of its last 7 games overall (24-17 loss against Pitt).

Rutgers will win handily. The South Florida quarterback is a one trick pony.

10-0 Rutgers with 13:27 remaining in the 2nd quarter. This game has been dominated so far by Rutgers and could be a lot worse than what the scoreboard shows.

The quarterback for South Florida has really struggled today. 4 turnovers for the Bulls in the first half is not going to win you many games, yet here it is only a ten point game.

10-0 Rutgers with 5:30 left in the first half.

Rutgers finally scores points against the South Florida defense. Excellent field position all night long, yet only have 13 points to show for it.

13-0 Scarlet Knights at the break.

Wow, what a game for Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights move to 7-2 (2-2 Big East) with the 31-0 win, while the Bulls fall to 6-3 (2-3 Big East).

Story of the game, field position due to turnovers. Rutgers started the majority of their drives near midfield due to 4 forced turnovers, while South Florida seemed to be pinned within their own 35 yard line for a huge chunk of the game.

Annual USF collapse. We have come to expect it every single year.
