TAMPA University of South Florida coach Jim Leavitt said the Bulls will face a "tremendous" challenge when they visit Pittsburgh on Saturday.
"Offensively, their offensive line is as good as we've seen this year," Leavitt said. "They are a very good group. LeSean McCoy is a tremendous running back. They've been going between two quarterbacks who have got a lot of talent.
"They're young, but they've got a lot of talent. Their receivers are good. Their kicking game is solid. Playing up there, at their place, it's going to be a great challenge for us."
McCoy, a freshman, is the Big East's second-leading rusher, averaging 112.5 yards per game.
The Panthers (4-6, 2-3 Big East) have lost four of their six games by a touchdown or less.
"Pittsburgh has had some difficult situations in the games, much like us," said Leavitt, whose Bulls lost three games by a total of 15 points. "Where things happen for whatever reason and you have a chance to win and maybe you do, maybe you don't because of different circumstances.
"We'll just leave it at that. It's tough, I know exactly how they feel, because I've been there."
