The South Florida Bulls football team is in the midst of one of their worst seasons ever in the AAC in 2022. The team is in the midst of an eight-game losing streak and is winless in the AAC. Last Saturday, the Bulls continued their losing ways as they fell to SMU, 41-23. After playing a competitive first half and closing it out tied at 17, USF fell apart in the 3rd quarter as they allowed 21 points to the Mustangs on their way to their 8th-straight loss. The game marked the first time interim head coach Daniel Da Prato ran the show after taking over for fired former head coach Jeff Scott. The Bulls played were led by running back Brian Battie, who had his 3rd straight 100-yard rushing game running for 145 yards on 26 carries. Quarterback Katravis Marsh went a dismal 12-of-31 for just 178 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game after a jarring hit in the fourth quarter. The Bulls were out-gained on the night, 553 yards to 381. SMU won the turnover battle 1-0 in the game.
“I’ve been through this as a player twice and I’ve been through this as a coach,” Da Prato said about the situation with a coaching firing this late in the season. “I do have experience with this, which I’d rather not, but I do. And I’m here to help them and support them.”

USF, not surprisingly, are not on top of many of the statistical categories this season. They have the 86th ranked scoring offense in the country this season. They are 43rd in the country running the ball and just 109th in the country throwing the ball. On the defensive side of things, they are ranked 131st in points allowed. They are struggling both against the run and the pass. They are 125th against the run and 126th against the pass this season. The Bulls haven't been protective of the football either, ranking just 99th in the country in turnover differential.
Key Injuries: Katravis Marsh's season is over with a neck injury following the hit last game. The team is now down to their third string quarterback, Byrum Brown.
