I just did a little research

I just looked up some stats from the past 4 USF v WVU games and they are pretty promising

In 2006 the Bulls held Steve Slaton to 43 yards on 18 carries, 2.4 yards per carry. They held the tame to 132 yards on 37 Carries, 3.6 ypc

-Bulls Win

In 2007 held Slaton to 54 yards on 13 carries, 4.1 ypc. The team went 48 for 188, only 3.9 ypc.

-Bulls Win

In 2008 USF held Noel Devine 17 for 90 yards, 5.3**ypc. The team went 40-139 for only 3.5ypc.

-Bulls LOSE

In 2009 USF was stout again, allowing Devine only 42 yards on 17 carries for 2.5 ypc. The team went 118 yards on 35 carries. for 3.4 ypc.

-Bulls WIN

Although this is not the only factor in this equation, but the years that USF was able to dominate WVU's run game they have been successful in the game as a whole. Even in the Bulls loss, holding a speed team to 139 yards on *40* carries is exceptional. This defense has always matched up quite well to WVU's speed run game, mostly because we have the same if not more (Florida) speed. There's no doubt that Stewart will move Devine all over the field to increase his effectiveness and hopefully break one for a TD. But as long as the Bulls can stuff him at the line, plug the holes and keep him in front of them, they have a great shot to win this game.
