UTSA vs. South Florida: College Football Week 11 Preview
South Florida remains in contention for the AAC title but must recover quickly from their recent loss to keep their hopes alive. The Bulls will host UTSA on Thursday as 13.5-point favorites, facing a Roadrunners team energized by a recent upset victory.
Offensive Strengths
USF boasts one of college football’s most explosive offenses, averaging 40.4 points per game, second only to North Texas in the AAC. UTSA counters with a solid offense, averaging 34.1 points per game, led by one of the nation’s top running backs.
Key Player: Robert Henry Jr.
"Henry wasn’t close to being the star of the show in the Roadrunners’ win over Tulane, but is his team’s most consistent weapon."
The dynamic running back has racked up 955 rushing yards and nine touchdowns this season. Though two other backs have more yards at this stage, Henry has achieved a higher yards-per-carry average by over 2.0 yards compared to them. His performance will be crucial in countering the AAC’s second-best run defense.
