No. 21 South Florida starts conference play against Temple

TAMPA, Fla. -- No. 21 South Florida is off to a 3-0 start, and its pursuit of a first-ever conference title begins Thursday night as it hosts Temple.

The Bulls have a short week for the second game in a row, having played Illinois on Friday night, when it pulled away to an easy 47-23 victory, with 680 yards of total offense.

"They have tremendous athletes across the board -- a big, physical offensive line and a dynamic quarterback who can hurt you with his arm and hurt you with his legs," Temple coach Geoff Collins said Monday.
