University of South Florida WR Carlton Mitchell (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against Louisville.
Mitchell missed last week's game at Rutgers after suffering a high ankle sprain against West Virginia on Oct. 30.
"He's going to dress for the game," USF coach Jim Leavitt said. "How much he plays depends on how well he feels. He's getting close."
Mitchell, who showed no signs of being limited as he sprinted off the practice field Thursday, leads USF with 29 receptions for 542 yards and four touchdowns.
TURNOVERS: The Bulls (6-3, 2-3 Big East) can become bowl eligible with a win against Louisville (4-6, 1-4). On paper, that shouldn't be a problem as USF is an 11 1/2 -point favorite.
Turnovers, however, are the big equalizer. Through nine games, USF has committed 18 turnovers, but half (nine) have come in its three losses.
"You just can't turn the football over," offensive coordinator Mike Canales said. "That's been the demise of us."
USF has won only once since Oct. 3, but in that game (a 30-19 win against WVU), the Bulls were turnover-free.
