This weekend the Syracuse Orange (3-4, 2-1) will take on the South Florida Bulls (2-5, 0-3) in Tampa Stadium, Tampa. The Orange will be going into this game on a one game win streak after topping UConn 40-10, while the Bulls will be entering the game on a 5 game losing streak culminating with a 2 point loss to Louisville.
Syracuse player an all around great game last week and they will need to build on that win in order hopefully achieve their goal of making it to a bowl game. USF is better then their record would show, they have a veteran quarter back in BJ Daniels who the team and coaching staff is still hoping will mature in these last few weeks and allow the bulls to rally off 4 wins and get to the 6 win number that just evaded them last year.
Both teams come in with coaches who last week seemed to be on the hot seat entering their respective games. Doug Marrone was able to turn his team around after the Five turnover performance that his team put out against a tough Rutgers defense.Skip Holtz went into last week with many fans calling for him to be terminated at the end of the season and sadly didn't silence many of them with his teams inspiring but losing output against the #16 Cardinals where Teddy Bridgewater sealed the game with a touchdown pass to Eli Rodgers with 1:39 left in the game.
So we come to this week Doug Marrone and the Orange are hoping to continue his new-found defensive success and make it to a bowl game. While Skip Holtz and the Bulls try to right the ship before they hit the proverbial iceberg and cause a bad season to turn into an appalling one.
At this time both teams are relativity healthy with the Orange most likely gaining their Kick/Punt returner back in Jeremiah Kobena. The Bulls have slight concerns with Demetris Murray who has a slight ankle injury and DE Tevin Mims who has a groin injury though both are expected to play.
My Keys To The Game will be coming on Thursday.
