What to Know
South Florida is at home this coming Friday, but the 10-point spread against them suggests it might not end up being the home opener they desire. South Florida and Wisconsin are opening their 2019 seasons against one another at 7 p.m. ET at Raymond James Stadium. While South Florida was not exactly top dog last season, they did wrap up the year with a winning record of 7-5. Wisconsin also enjoyed a fair amount of success last year, finishing up 7-5.
A couple offensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: South Florida was 34th in the nation in yards per game, finishing the 2018 season with 437.7 on average. Wisconsin displayed some offensive firepower of their own as they ranked sixth in the nation in rushing yards per game, closing the season with 273.40 on average. We'll find out if either of these strengths ends up making the difference in the matchup.
The South Florida sideline is surely aware that they're the underdogs in this one. We'll soon see whether they can make the experts look bad.
