South Florida still has a shot at winning the AAC but must recover from its recent loss to remain competitive. The Bulls will host UTSA on Thursday as a 13.5-point favorite. Meanwhile, the Roadrunners are energized after a surprising victory in their last game.
USF boasts one of college football’s most explosive offenses, averaging 40.4 points per game—second only to North Texas in the conference. UTSA scores an average of 34.1 points per game and relies heavily on one of the nation's top running backs.
Oddsmakers predict a comfortable win for the home team, but the Roadrunners have the potential to challenge that expectation. Below is a detailed betting analysis of the matchup.
"Henry wasn’t the star in the Roadrunners’ win over Tulane, but he remains UTSA’s most consistent offensive weapon."
Henry, a dynamic running back, has rushed for 955 yards and nine touchdowns this season. Although two other backs have more total rushing yards, Henry averages over 2.0 more yards per carry than either of them. His rushing ability will be critical to UTSA’s strategy against the AAC's second-best run defense.
This matchup highlights a high-scoring South Florida offense facing a determined UTSA team led by a top running back, promising an exciting and closely contested game.
