South Florida is back home this Saturday, aiming for a 3-0 start to their season, a massive feat they haven’t accomplished in eight years. The Bulls pulled off a dramatic 28-24 comeback victory against Army last weekend and are now set to host the Delaware State Hornets at Raymond James Stadium, with kickoff slated for 7:00 PM ET. This game is going to be good.
Bulls Riding High on First-Year Energy
First-year head coach Brian Hartline has the Bulls absolutely rolling at 2-0. Their last game against Army was something else, with Michael Van Buren Jr. connecting with Joshua Porter for a game-winning 38-yard touchdown. That play went down with only 19 seconds left on the clock, showing the kind of grit this South Florida squad has. Coming off such a high, playing at home, you know they’re hungry to make history and get that 3-0 start.
Hornets Bring a Heavy Ground Game to Tampa
Don’t sleep on the Delaware State Hornets, though. They come into this matchup at 2-1 under head coach DeSean Jackson, fresh off a 21-6 win against Bowie State last weekend. The Hornets’ rushing attack is no joke: they racked up 224 yards on the ground and scored all three of their touchdowns that way in their last outing. We’ve even seen Sean Weston Jr. get into the end zone in the fourth quarter during their 41-34 win over Stony Brook back in August. Now, they’re stepping up to face an FBS opponent, and their ground game will be a key factor.
This is shaping up to be a fantastic college football matchup that you definitely won’t want to miss. Make sure to tune in and catch all the action live on ESPN+ this Saturday!
