South Florida might have drawn first blood against Cincinnati last week, but the Bearcats picked up the 20-17. No one had a big game offensively for South Florida, but they got scores from tight end Mitchell Wilcox and running back Trevon Sands. Charlie Strong's defense nearly earned the Bulls the upset, as they limited the Bearcats to just 278 yards of offense and just 78 yards on 18 pass attempts. The USF defense is allowing just 15 points per game over the last month and that unit flies around as a team. The Bulls have 10 players on the roster with at least four tackles for loss this season.
Meanwhile, Memphis ran circles around Houston, and the extra yardage (528 vs. 240) paid off. The Tigers captured a comfortable 45-27 victory. Quarterback Brady White had a stellar game for Memphis as he passed for 341 yards and five touchdowns on 33 attempts. White and Kenneth Gainwell give Memphis two superstars on offense. White has thrown for 2,852 yards and 28 touchdowns with just five interceptions while Gainwell has rushed for 1,166 yards and 12 touchdowns, adding 37 catches for 463 yards and three more scores through the air.
