USF Men's Soccer Drops First Game of the Season to South Carolina

After two long rain delays and a start time after 10:30PM, the Bulls and South Carolina finally got to play their match in the first day of the USF tournament, with the Bulls falling 0 to 1in the first loss of the season.

South Carolina got the first goal of the game in the31st minute with a shot that just got past Eric Osswald (had 1 save in the game).  The Bulls, who controlled the ball for most of the game, were not able to get a shot to land.  Sebastien Thuriere and Wesley Charpie each had 3 shots a piece as the Bulls continued to attack, but luck was just not on their side as they fall to 3-1-0 on the season.

The Bulls will look to shake this game off as they take on Iona at 7:30PM at Corbett.  Make sure to pack the stadium and fire up the team!

Rationalizing the Nevada Game: Why The Wolfpack Scares Me, and Why They Shouldn't

Week two. USF is making an uncharacteristic road trip out to the west coast to visit a Nevada team that many USF fans, including myself, know very little about. If you have been following me on twitter for any part of the last three months, though, you know by now that this game against the Wolfpack has me a bit unsettled. And according to pretty much every Bulls fan I've talked to about the game, I'm not alone. But why? A team from the Mountain West Conference that didn't even make a bowl last year? What's so scary about that?

USF Men's Soccer Returns Home to Face South Carolina

Key Match-ups for USF vs. Nevada

The individual match-ups in every game are always important, usually leading to a big play that can decide the game.  Let’s take a look at some of the biggest match-ups in this one between the Bulls and the Wolf Pack.

Scouting the Nevada Offense

Quarterback Cody Fajarado leads the pistol offense against the Bulls.

The Nevada offense is a very unique challenge with its pistol formation.  While the pistol if the basic formation for them, the Wolfpack can throw down the field and will use their skill players to attack the perimeter of the Bulls defense.  The Wolfpack rolled 230 yards passing and 220 yards rushing in their opening win against Cal.  Let’s take a look at what challenge the Bulls will be facing in Reno.

Scouting the Nevada Defense

Senior safety Duke Williams leads an experienced Wolfpack secondary.

The Bulls will be facing the Wolfpack defense that turns a base 4-3 scheme. They allowed 110 yards total rushing to Cal in their season opening in Berkeley. They also allowed 255 yards passing, showing Daniels may have a chance to air the ball out in this game, let's see what he will be facing in this one.
