This is why we should be continuing this series beyond this year when the contract expires. This shows that the country is starting to take notice into this “rivalry” it’s too bad it may end this year…

NBC Sports listed the USF at UCF game as one of the Top 25 non-conference matchups of 2008! We are in the company of games like Miami at Florida, Ohio St at USC, and Auburn at West Virginia. Here is what they had to say about the USF/UCF game:

22. South Florida at Central Florida — Sept. 6

The Golden Knights and Kevin Smith were held without a touchdown in a 10-3 Liberty Bowl loss to Mississippi State 10-3. Afterward Smith, the nation’s leading rusher, said that everyone back in Orlando was disappointed, even “the sheriff’s department”. How much more disappointed are they now that Smith has opted to forgo his senior season — and a shot at the NCAA career rushing yardage record–in favor of the NFL draft? USF defensive end George Selvie, who finished second in the nation in sacks with 14.5 in ‘07, is already haunting George O’Leary’s dreams

Not bad not bad, it will be interesting to see what TV channel picks up the game.
