PISCATAWAY, New Jersey (Ticker) -- South Florida coach JimLeavitt would love to hand Rutgers a third home loss thisseason.


Leavitt's second-ranked Bulls visit the Scarlet Knights for akey early Big East Conference matchup Thursday night.

Rutgers (4-2, 1-1 Big East) cruised through its first threecontests before losing back-to-back home games to Maryland andconference foe Cincinnati.


The Scarlet Knights bounced back with a 38-14 triumph atSyracuse last Saturday. Ray Rice rushed for 196 yards and threescores for Rutgers, which overcame an early 14-0 deficit.

Rutgers must win this game to have any realistic shot atclaiming the Big East crown and a BCS bowl berth.


South Florida (6-0, 1-0) took a break from Big East play tocrush visiting Central Florida last weekend, 64-12.

Matt Grothe threw for 212 yards and two touchdowns and ran for100 and two scores for the Bulls, who moved up three spots inthe polls after multiple teams above them lost, and are in theall-important No. 2 spot in the first BCS standings.

Last year, Rutgers posted a 22-20 win at South Florida en routeto its 9-0 start. The Scarlet Knights survived a missedtwo-point conversion pass from Grothe to Amp Hill with 15seconds left in the triumph.
