South Florida Bulls (6-2) v Rutgers Scarlet Knights (6-2)
\nSouth Florida: 3-3 ATS \/ Rutgers: 3-3 ATS<\/strong><\/p>\n

With only four games left in the season, the Scarlet Knights are mathematically out of the race for the Big East title, but could be eligible for a bowl game if they can secure a win against the visiting USF Bulls on Friday night.<\/p>\n

The winner of Friday\u2019s contest will assume fourth place in the Big East standings. <\/p>\n

Rutgers has had good luck against South Florida with a 3-1 all-time record against USF, and have won the last three meetings between the two teams, including a 49-16 blowout in their last meeting on Nov 15, 2008.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rutgers has won two consecutive games and has only lost one in its last seven. Quarterback Tom Savage, is third in the conference in passing with 206.3 yards a game. He has had help from wide receiver Tim Brown who is averaging 21.9 yards per catch, with his five touchdown receptions averaging 47.8 yards apiece. Brown lifted the Scarlet Knights to a 28-24 win over Connecticut in Week 9, with an 81-yard touchdown pass with 22 seconds remaining. Defensively, the Scarlet Knights have been successful in stopping the run and are ranked 25th nationally. <\/p>\n

The Scarlet Knights aren\u2019t in the Big East title race for one reason; they seem to play their worst against the best, with their only two losses to league leaders — Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. <\/p>\n

USF is coming off a huge 30-19 victory over West Virginia in Week 9 that saw quarterback B.J. Daniels toss for three touchdowns as he completed 13-of-26 pass attempts for 234 yards Running back Carlton Mitchell ran for 132 yards and a TD in that win. <\/p>\n

Defensively the Bulls are ranked 24th nationally and held the 20th-ranked Mountaineers to just 118 rushing yards. USF has two of the best pass-rushing threats in the league in defensive ends George Selvie and Jason Pierre-Paul. <\/p>\n

Linebacker Kion Wilson leads the team in tackles with 61 (one sack), and is coming off a strong effort against West Virginia in which he had 13 tackles. <\/p>\n
