UTSA vs. USF Prediction, Betting Odds & How To Watch

South Florida Bulls Season Overview
The Bulls (6-2, 3-1 American) opened the season strong, defeating two ranked teams, Boise State at home and pulling off a major upset at Florida. After a loss at Miami, USF rallied with four consecutive wins, three within the conference. Their close 34-31 defeat to Memphis, where the Tigers scored late in the final two minutes, marked a turning point. USF now shares the conference lead with one loss alongside five other teams.
UTSA Roadrunners Season Summary
The Roadrunners (4-4, 2-2) are back to an even record following a surprising 22-point victory over Tulane.
