South Florida remains in contention for the AAC title but must recover quickly from their recent defeat to keep their hopes alive. The Bulls are set to host UTSA on Thursday as 13.5-point favorites. Despite UTSA’s upset victory in their latest game, South Florida's strong offense makes them the favorite.
USF boasts one of college football’s most explosive offenses, averaging 40.4 points per game—second only to North Texas within the AAC. UTSA averages 34.1 points per game and relies heavily on their highly productive running back.
“Robert Henry Jr. wasn’t the star in the Roadrunners’ win over Tulane, but he remains their most reliable weapon. He has rushed for 955 yards and nine touchdowns this season. While only two running backs have more yards, Henry has a better average gain per carry than either of them.”
Henry’s rushing ability will be essential for UTSA to challenge South Florida’s defense, which ranks as the second-best run defense in the AAC.
This game pits a high-scoring South Florida offense against a resilient UTSA team led by a standout running back, promising an engaging AAC matchup with potential surprises.
