West Virginia is riding a four-game winning streak, which includes a 28-24 win over Connecticut in Week 8.
WVU’s pass defense surrendered 378 yards in last weeks contest including an 88-yard touchdown pass, the longest against WVU this season. The Mountaineers have had problems defending against the pass all season, but is ranked No. 9 nationally against the run.
The Bulls opened 2009 with a 5-0 record for the third consecutive season but has lost two consecutive games coming into Friday’s contest. Their most recent outing resulted in a 41-14 loss to Pittsburgh last week when USF fell behind by 24 points at halftime and never recovered. Bulls QB Evan Landi passed for an embarrassing 37 yards, one touchdown and one interception in that game. Defensively, South Florida ranks first in the Big East against the pass but ranks just 7th against the run. USF managed only one sack and allowed the Panthers to convert 11 of 16 third-down situations.
The Panthers never punted all afternoon.

The Mountaineers are –3-point favorites in Fridays match up.
Mountaineers vs. Bulls Free Pick
The key for WVU will be to utilize RB Noel Devine, who ranks No. 7 in the country in total rushing, to launch a solid ground assault against the Bulls. USF must stop the run and attack the Mountaineers through the air. This game should be close with WVU covering the spread.
