Fresh off a victory against Duke, the Notre Dame football team hosts the University of South Florida on Saturday. We give 3 USF offensive players to watch.

On Saturday, the Notre Dame football team will host the University of South Florida Bulls. The Irish come in as a 26.5 point favorite as they host a South Florida team that upset them in 2011 by the score of 23-20, in a game most Notre Dame fans have tried to expunge from their memories.

The 7th-ranked Irish will face a Bulls team under new head coach Jeff Scott, who replaced former Notre Dame assistant Charlie Strong. While a former Notre Dame coach is no longer there, the son of a former Irish head coach is, as 27-year old Charlie Weis Jr. is the offensive coordinator for South Florida.

The Bulls are fresh off of a 27-6 victory over The Citadel Bulldogs. They come into South Bend with a fast-paced uptempo offense that has a lot of moving parts. The USF team does not have a designated quarterback and used three different ones against The Citadel. This week, North Carolina transfer Cade Fortin returns from injury and Jeff Scott has stated that he plans on using all four quarterbacks during the game against Notre Dame.

Quarterback isn’t the only position that the Irish will see a number of different USF players lining up on Saturday. Last week the Bulls had 11 different players have rushing attempts against The Citadel. They plan to continue to have diversity amongst their ball carriers as well.

With as many different players expected to play a role in the USF Bulls offense this weekend, it was difficult to key in on which offensive players Notre Dame football fans should watch in this game. With that said, here are three offensive players to keep an eye on as Notre Dame hosts USF:
