The Bulls face BYU at 3:30 p.m. at Raymond James Stadium (TV: CBS Sports Network/Radio: WDAE-AM 620) in the first meeting ever between the two programs. USF (2-3, 1-1 AAC) has been reeling, losing nine straight games to FBS opponents, including some very unsightly scores to top-25 teams like Wisconsin and SMU.

It appears, at least for the time being, the keys to the team have been handed to redshirt freshman quarterback Jordan McCloud, who has had two good performances (South Carolina State on Sept. 14 and UConn on Saturday) with a poor IMMEDIATE performance (SMU on Sept. 28) sandwiched in since taking over as starter.
