Keys to the Game

South Florida holds a 2-0 series advantage over the Pirates and ECU will need to play inspired football for sixty minutes in order to win its first road game of the season. The Pirates defense has forced six turnovers in the last two games and should have plenty of opportunities for interceptions against shaky USF quarterback Pat Julmiste.

ECU is the 11th least penalized team in the country, but had an uncharacteristic outing last week against Houston. The Pirates were whistled for 10 penalties for 96 yards, including a long touchdown run by Chris Johnson that was nullified. ECU's discipline should be back on track on Saturday.

The Pirates took another huge hit when leading receiver Bobby Good was lost for the season with a leg injury against the Cougars. ECU has been forced to empty the bench after Demarcus Fox, Edwin Rios and Iverick Harris were all either suspended or quit earlier in the season. Stepping in to start will be Brian Howard and Kevin Roach. Howard had a solid outing last week and Roach, more of a possession receiver, won't hesitate to go over the middle in traffic. Will Bland, who caught a touchdown pass against Houston, will also see plenty of action. Freshman punt returner and cornerback Travis Williams could make his debut on offense. The Pirates are 14th in the country in punt returns and Williams' speed will be a welcoming addition to the receiving corps.

REST OF STORY

Shaky?  Where would they get that?

The boys over at BoneyardBanter are looking way past both USF & Memphis. They have thier collective eye on NCSU (final game of the season for them) ...may be played in Charlotte, I'm not certain. I'm guessing they've alredy stuck a fork in the season and are playing for highlights.

Gotta admit...road trip to Charlotte from G'ville ain't bad.

Yes, especially if it's one-way.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
