With reports of Tyler Higbee on crutches Friday the USF line backers will be allowed to focus more on the run stop as opposed to chasing that tall monster all over the field. Even if he plays, which I think would be a poor decision considering his draft status, he won't be 100%.
USF D against spread offenses.
The last time USF faced an offense similar to WKU, it was Cincinatti. Cincinatti is a good team with a LOT of talented receivers who I would put up against WKU's receivers. USF completely shut them down. Earlier in the year they played Memphis, another similar style offense and while they lost the game, they only allowed 24 points. And they are a much better team at this point.
WKU against a mobile quarterback
Quinton Flowers isn't exactly Greg Ward, but he can run the ball. And oddly enough WKU hasn't faced a mobile quarterback that I could find all year long...except once. And that was when North Texas rolled into town. If anyone watched, it was Demarcus Smith's first start at QB for UNT and he actually ran the ball well. 16 carries for 120 yards. And come on...if UNT can run the ball for 120, Flowers should have a field day. And that keeps Doughty on the sidelines.
Locatioon: It's being played in MIami. Advantage USF
