The SU Football has taken a hit to their offense as they prepare to head to South Florida to take in the Bulls this Saturday. Orange Head Coach Doug Marrone announced on Thursday that freshman running back Ashton Broyld is unlikely to play this weekend because of an undisclosed injury. Running back Adonis Ameen-Moore is also questionable as he tries recover from an injury in time for Saturday's game. While SU's offense showed lots of depth in this past Friday's win over Uconn, SU quarterback Ryan Nassib knows USF will be a big test.
"(South Florida) has a lot of talented kids on that defense," says Nassib, "a lot of fast kids that swarm the ball. They do a good job of getting the looks they want and playing fast".
"Nobody can look forward to Cincinnati or Louisville," added junior cornerback Keon Lyn, "we need to go down to South Florida and take care of business".
The SU defense is also gearing up to face one of the most athletics quarterbacks in the Nation B.J. Daniels, a big reason why Coach Marrone has called the Bulls the most talented team SU has played so far next to USC.
"You stop (B.J. Daniels) they got to change their whole game plan," says Lyn, "because everything resolves around B.J. Daniels. He has been there for numerous years, he's a veteran, he's a leader on that team, and they are looking for a win.
"I call (B.J. Daniels) a quarterback, but he is a running back, he is just an athlete," adds SU senior strong safety Shamarko Thomas, "He is shifty, he makes plays in the air and makes plays with his feet. B.J. Daniels is one of the top players we need to stop this week".
Kickoff in South Florida on Saturday night at 7 PM. The game is being televised on ESPN3 and Time Warner Cable Sports.
