No. 18 South Florida hosts Cincinnati on Saturday in an American Athletic Conference battle between two first-year coaches who have gotten off to opposite starts at their new programs.
Charlie Strong has the Bulls off to a 5-0 start in his first year at South Florida. The Bulls (5-0, 2-0 AAC) are averaging 44.8 points per game and are outscoring opponents by an average of nearly 25 points per game.
A win over the struggling Bearcats on homecoming Saturday would match South Florida's best start ever.
"You have a really good football team," Strong said this week.
