Rewind to September 7 last year. The USF Bulls were down 14-13 in Tuscaloosa to begin the 4th Quarter. The final score doesn't reflect the actual game as the Tide rolled 42-16. Two weeks later, the Bulls would trail #8 Miami Hurricanes 22-15 at the Half before folding 50-15. The following week QB Byrum Brown got injured and missed rest of the season. This is Alex Golesh's 3rd year at USF. The gains he made were negated by Brown's injury. He has 8 returning starters on offense and defense. Golesh also got a lot of booster support in the form of NIL money. Two new Running Backs enter Tampa this year from the transfer portal, Norton (Iowa State) and Franklin (Oklahoma). The defense will need to improve and that's not guaranteed even with 8 starters back. USF should improve on defense. How much they improve will be the biggest factor in their success. Boise State is the best of the Mountain West Conference. That's not saying a heckuva lot after watching the MWC teams play this Saturday. The Broncos return 7 starters on both sides of the ball including QB Maddux Madsen. Boise loses RB Ashton Jeanty and WR Cam Camper to the NFL. It will be nearly impossible to match last year's offensive production. However, Fresno transfer Sherrod could be a nice fit at RB. Expect Boise offense to start slow with new pieces on the road. South Florida should have early edge with Brown leading the attack in Tampa. PLAY - SOUTH FLORIDA +6 This game sets up nicely for a couple live bets.
