South Florida Bulls at Syracuse Orangemen (Saturday/3:30 pm)

South Florida entered 2016 as a favorite in the AAC East, and after blowing out FCS Towson and Northern Illinois in their first two games the Bulls now get the chance to take down an ACC opponent. Syracuse had no problem taking care of business against FCS Colgate in its opener, but the Orangemen are coming into the USF matchup after a demoralizing loss to Louisville last week.

Eric Dungey has been great at QB for Syracuse, but he faces a challenge against USF’s top-20 pass efficiency defense. If the Bulls can disrupt Dungey’s rhythm early, we could see South Florida run away with this showdown between former Big East rivals.
