South Florida is heading into Friday's matchup with some mystery since it isn't clear who will start under center. It's possible backup Bryce Archie will make a third straight start since Byrum Brown was injured in a 45-10 loss to Tulane. Archie has completed less than 55% of his passes in both starts, but improved against UAB and had two touchdowns. He also had help from the ground game, as Kelley Joiner rushed for 94 yards and had two touchdowns.

The Owls have also had issues at the QB position. Cam Fancher had a rough outing ahead of the Week 9 bye, completing just 47.4% of his passes with no touchdowns in the loss to the Roadrunners. FAU's offense is averaging 349.6 total yards per game and 153.1 average yards on the ground, and will be going up against a Bulls rush defense that is only allowing an average of 137.3 yards per game.
