USF vs. Stony Brook Football: Everything You Need To Know

TAMPA, FL – While the University of South Florida’s football team slipped a bit in its Week 0 matchup at San Jose State (mostly thanks to some sloppy FieldTurf), the Bulls are still ranked in the Top 25 after their 42-22 victory over the Spartans.

Schedule and turf quirks aside, USF will face Stony Brook in its 2017 home opener. Thanks to last week’s game technically taking place before the NCAA’s regular season started, USF is still ranked at No. 19 in the preseason AP Top 25 Poll and No. 21 in the preseason Amway Coaches Poll.

The Seawolves come in looking to improve their 5-6 record from last season and a 4-4 record in the Colonial Athletic Association.
