We’re about an hour-and-change away from kickoff at Raymond James Stadium—No. 8 Cincinnati vs. the No. 21 University of South Florida Bulls.

The turf, which was replaced after extensive damage following last week’s U2 concert, certainly looks nice. We’ll see how it plays.

There’s the iconic “U’’ logo at midfield and “BULLS’’ in each end zone, which should look good for the ESPN telecast. Additionally, as you enter the stadium from the south side, there is a large temporary banner of “Rocky the Bull’’ greeting everyone, next to the permanent banner of Bucs linebacker Barrett Ruud.

Stay tuned.
