South Florida and UTSA face off Thursday night in a showdown between two potent offenses amid the heating American Conference title race.
As two-touchdown favorites hosting this game, South Florida looks to maintain momentum, while UTSA seeks to upset another conference contender. The Bulls are aiming for their first-ever American Conference Championship.
