GAME DAY vs. East Carolina

After a conference opening win in impressive fashion at Cincinnati (45-20), USF returns home riding a five-game conference win streak, the longest in program history. The Bulls’ offense remains prolific posting at least 35 points in nine straight games and more than 200 yards rushing in 10, the longest streak in the nation. Meanwhile, USF’s defense has produced 12 turnovers, including 4 at Cincinnati, to rank No. 6 in the nation in turnovers gained. Saturday is Homecoming. The Bulls are 10-9 all-time in Homecoming games, winning their last, 45-24, vs. Syracuse in 2015.

BEAST OF EAST: USF has won seven straight games vs. East Division AAC teams, going 6-0 in 2015, and has won five straight conference games overall dating to a loss at Navy on Oct. 31, 2015. The Bulls’ last conference home loss was one year ago on Oct. 2, 2015 to Memphis (24-17).

#MACKATTACK: Marlon Mack posted his 15th career 100-yard game at Cincinnati and became USF's all-time career rushing leader with 2,755 yards in just 28 games. Averaging 6.7 yards per carry on the year, he now looks to become just the 17th 3,000-yard rusher in Florida state collegiate history.

USF OFFENSE ROLLING: The Bulls have recorded 10 straight games with 200+ yards rushing (13 of their last 14) and rank 15th nationally in rushing offense (251.4 ypg). USF is ranked 5th in the nation in scoring (45.8 ppg) and is averaging 46.3 ppg over its last 9 games, third in the nation behind Texas Tech (52.8 ppg) and Louisville (48.9 ppg).

ECU QB plays, USF bt 21. No QB, USF by 35

[Bulls On Parade]

Looking at past results ECU moves the ball in the air but they turn it over alot, we need to keep that up and Dline needs to bring the pressure today.

Crowd looks pathetic so far. 25 minutes before game time and it looks like a high school game. It's a nice day out today, more people should be here.
