GAME DAY vs. Connecticut

USF will look to continue a school record run of six straight conference wins and log its fifth straight win over UConn Saturday. The Bulls will wear pink accents on their uniforms for the Breast Cancer Awareness game. USF brings nation-leading streaks for consecutive 200-yard rushing games (11), 35+ point games (10) and 440+ total offense games (10) into the game and has won and eight of its last 10 games at home.

CHASING RECORD START: At 5-1, USF is one win away from equaling the program-best start to a season. The Bulls went 6-1 through seven games in 2007 and 2008. USF will look to become bowl eligible for the second-earliest in program history. USF defeated UCF, 64-12, on Oct. 13, 2007 for win No. 6 and bowl eligibility. A win Saturday would make the Bulls bowl eligible two days later in the season (Oct. 15), and for just the fourth time in October.

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

#MACKATTACK: Marlon Mack posted his 16th career 100-yard game vs. ECU. USF's all-time career rushing leader with 2,907 yards now looks to become just the 17th 3,000-yard collegiate rusher in Florida state history.

CLOSE: The last nine games between USF & UConn have been decided by 8 points or less, an average of 4.8 ppg.

Those close games are when our offense was anemic. I'm predicting a 28+ point victory tonight. Uconn cannot score enough to keep up with us.

Not sure where to put this but Georgia losing to Vandy will move us up a little with a win
