South Florida still holds a chance to win the AAC but must recover quickly from its recent loss to remain competitive. The Bulls will face UTSA on Thursday as 13.5-point favorites. Meanwhile, the Roadrunners come into the game energized after an upset victory in their latest match.
USF boasts one of college football’s most dynamic offenses, averaging 40.4 points per game—only North Texas has a higher average in the AAC. UTSA averages 34.1 points per game and relies heavily on one of the nation’s top running backs.
Oddsmakers anticipate a comfortable win for the home team, but UTSA could still make the game competitive.
“Henry wasn’t the star in the Roadrunners’ win over Tulane, but he remains their most reliable weapon.”
Henry has rushed for 955 yards and nine touchdowns this season. Although two other backs have more rushing yards, Henry stands out by averaging over 2.0 yards more per carry than both. His performance on the ground will be crucial in countering the AAC's second-best run defense.
Author's summary: South Florida enters as a favorite with a leading offense, but UTSA's strong rushing attack, led by Robert Henry Jr., could challenge the outcome in a high-scoring matchup.
