GAME DAY vs. Knights

 

USF will close out the regular season with the ninth installment of the War on I-4 in Orlando. In USF’s 250th game in program history (145-104, .582), the teams will be playing for The American East Division crown and a ticket to the American Championship game on Dec. 2. USF has never won a conference division or overall title in the program’s 21 years.

WAR ON I-4: The War On I-4 resumes as part of department wide sports series between USF and UCF, schools separated by approximately 100 miles of Florida Interstate 4. The War On I-4 all-sports series was won by UCF last year and is currently tied, 9-9, in 2017-18. The Football teams play for the War On I-4 trophy unveiled in 2016 (pg 3). USF leads the series, 6-2, and has won the last two meetings. This marks the first time two ranked teams will meet in the game and third time USF has entered ranked. It is the second straight season two already bowl eligible teams will meet. The two teams are among just nine nationally with one loss or less on the year.

VS RANKED: USF is 11-22 all-time vs. ranked teams and will be facing its first under Charlie Strong. USF is 4-10 on the road vs. FBS ranked teams, last posting a win with a 23-20 victory at No. 16/18 Notre Dame on Sept. 3, 2011. USF has four wins vs. AP top 20 teams on the road, including a 24-19 win at No. 9 West Virginia in 2006.

FLOWERS IN ELITE COMPANY: Quinton Flowers is just the 7th FBS player to post 7,000 passing and 3,000 rushing yards on a career. With 63 passing and 39 rushing TD, he is near becoming the 6th FBS player to post at least 60 passing and 40 rushing TD. With 10,780 total yards, he needs just 96 yards to set a new USF total offense record.
