From BamaBrave's preview

While most of y'all will be rooting for MASS CHAOS in college football Saturday night, Anthony Grant's squad will be going into a battle with theSouth Florida Bulls. USF (5-2) has had a pretty uneventful year thus far, with wins against a bunch of pushovers at home and on the road against George Mason and Bowling Green. Nothing to really write home about. They also were absolutely destroyed by Oklahoma State, and lost to a physical Detroit team. This isn't exactly a great team, but it's not one that Alabama should take lightly either, especially on the road. I would probably put them on about the same level as Texas Tech. USF is led by Stan Heath, and if you remember his days at Arkansas, he always seemed to give us more trouble than he was really worth, so keep your eye on that.
