Until this season, South Florida had lost its last 18 games against ranked opponents, with the last win coming on October 28, 2016, against No. 22 Navy.

The Bulls’ last-ranked win over a Power Five team was all the way back in the 2011 season opener, when they stunned No. 16 Notre Dame in South Bend.

This year, however, Alex Golesh’s squad has flipped the script. USF snapped both streaks in fashion, recording a season-opening win over No. 25 Boise State before shocking No. 13 Florida in...

There's too much experience on this roster for Miami to lay an egg. That said, I want to see how this team deals with success. If this team strings together a great week of practice, this game will be over quickly. USF has some talent, but they are extremely flawed, especially at the QB position, where they have a tailback masquerading as a QB.

What have we seen from Mario, and more specifically our Canes in the last 20 years to make some of you fools so ****y and over confident? That USF team is for real. Mario better have our dudes ready to play and not be conservative with his game plan. I expect a dog fight.

This year, however, Alex Golesh’s squad has flipped the script. USF snapped both streaks in fashion, recording a season-opening win over No. 25 Boise State before shocking No. 13 Florida in Gainesville. Those victories have given the program a big ball of energy and national attention heading into Miami week.

Alex Golesh even said after the win over Florida, “This ain’t the same old South Florida, my brother.”



USF is averaging about 26 points a game while only giving up around 11 on defense, which is a big reason they beat Florida and Boise State. Quarterback Byrum Brown is throwing for over 500 yards in two games with 2 touchdowns and no picks, while also making plays with his legs. Receiver Keshaun Singleton has already gone for 168 yards and 2 touchdowns, including a long 66-yarder.

Miami, meanwhile, owns the all-time series at 6–1, including four straight wins. The only loss came in 2010, when USF won 23–20 in overtime, a loss that many point to as the final straw for Randy Shannon’s tenure as head coach.

Miami just has to be dialed in for this game. This is one of the games you cannot drop, especially having Florida in two weeks. Miami fans will have Hard Rock once again rocking, so that will play in Miami's favor as one of the nation's hottest teams comes into Miami Gardens to play.

This will be a tough game!! Short passing game and QB who runs. Also plays fast. Hopefully the boys are ready. Them beating UF will make them dialed in and not looking past them. Let’s go canes 1-0 is all the matters this week!
