Cincinnati (5-0, 1-0 Big East) handled a road game at Miami of Ohio with no issues as they won 37-13 and the Bulls (5-0, 1-0) got their first conference victory in a laugher at Syracuse. Bearcats' quarterback Tony Pike, the Big East's leader in total offense with over 306 yards per game, jumped onto the national stage the last time these two teams met last season. Pike, broken arm and all, went 20 of 28 for 281 yards and two scores to upset then-No. 24 USF in Cincinnati. Both the Bulls and Bearcats will enter Thursday's primetime game ranked in the AP Top 25 but it is Pike's team that comes in inside the Top 10. However, the Bearcats remain slightly untested as their best win thus far was the opening week of the season, 47-15 at Rutgers. They had closer-than-expected games at Oregon State and against Fresno State in consecutive weeks. South Florida has dealt with adversity this season and has come out better for it. Senior quarterback Matt Grothe got hurt and is out for the year but freshman B.J. Williams has come on and hasn't missed a beat. The Bulls beat up on the Seminoles in Tallahassee three weeks ago in Williams' first game and he's been nothing but solid in his two starts.Jeff's breakdown: This Thursday night affair featuring two ranked undefeated Big East schools should prove highly entertaining. The Bulls and Bearcats both have excellent offenses and defenses. USF is ranked 36th nationally in total offense and 10th in defense, giving up just 263 yards per game. They will need that defense against a Cincinnati offense averaging over 468 yards per game and ranked 11th in the nation. The Bulls are looking for some sweet vindication after the upset they suffered at the hands of the Bearcats last season and since this game is at home, Williams and company should have just enough on offense and defense to overcome the higher ranked Bearcats for an upset of their own.
