FUTURE SCHEDULES

It’s sometimes easy to think USF Football has been around forever considering the many accomplishments the program has built up. But the football program has actually gone from non-existence to the BIG EAST Conference and BCS football, as well as a Bowl appearance, in just one decade.

While the Big East portion of USF’s schedule will be set on an annual basis, the following non-conference games have been scheduled.

As the football program celebrates its 10th season in 2006, it does so in unison with the University’s 50th anniversary. Just like the momentum built by football in a quick 10 years, the University has impressed with its rapid growth in what amounts to a very brief history in comparison to most universities throughout the nation. While the USF football team is a member of an elite BCS Conference, the University is one of just 63 public universities (among 4,321) in the highest tier in rankings by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.The Carnegie Foundation has established USF as a Research University with Very High Research Activity. Named as one of the two fastest growing research universities in the United States by the National Science Foundation, USF researchers have been awarded more than $290 million in funding in the past year. The university is a national leader in research into the causes and treatments of Alzheimer’s disease as well as in the fields of search-and-rescue robotics and biodefense. USF’s sponsored research has climbed from $103 in 1995-1996, which was the year prior to the arrival of football at USF. In addition to its outstanding record as a Research University, USF continues to have a huge economic impact upon the regional Tampa Bay economy. In January 2006, USF announced the results of a study that revealed the University’s annual economic impact on the regional economy of Tampa Bay is $3.2 billion. “The University of South Florida, through its four campuses, continues to exert a profound impact on the Tampa Bay region, both economically and in quality of life,” said USF President Judy Genshaft. “Our success has exceeded expectations.With an original investment of $50,000 just 50 years ago, the university has become one of the two fastest growing research universities in the country.The people of Tampa made a savvy investment in 1956, and it is one that will continue to pay powerful dividends.”

TELEVISION From its inception in 1997, the University of South Florida football program has enjoyed tremendous television exposure, including several national appearances.That exposure increases with USF’s membership in the BIG EAST Conference, which enjoys an outstanding national television contract. The BIG EAST’s contract with ABC and the ESPN Networks runs through the 2007 season with a minimum of four conference games on ABC and a minimum of 10 on ESPN or ESPN2. In 2005, USF’s first year in the BIG EAST, the Bulls made appearances on ABC, ESPNU and ESPN 360. In 2006, USF is scheduled to play Rutgers on ESPN2, Cincinnati on ESPN and Florida International on ESPN 360. Additionally, ESPN Regional Television, who has long been the media rights holder for USF Athletics, has the rights to broadcast all BIG EAST games not assigned to ABC or ESPN and syndicates a BIG EAST Game of the Week on Saturday mornings.Thus, an already strong partnership between USF and ESPN Regional is even stronger with the BIG EAST ties. USF’s game with Pittsburgh this season will air on the Game of the Week. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, with an office in Tampa, ESPN Regional Television, Inc. is the world’s largest supplier of syndicated college sports programming. ESPN Regional is a wholly owned subsidiary of ESPN, Inc, which is 80% owned by ABC, Inc. Both ESPN and ABC fall under the umbrella of the Walt Disney Company. A growing element of ESPN Regional’s collegiate sports marketing and management business has been its University Projects Division.This division represents multi-media rights on behalf of four universities, including USF. Other projects include Kansas and Oregon. Utilizing its expertise in the production, distribution and development of collegiate marketing rights, ESPN Plus works with USF to enhance the value of its numerous sports marketing opportunities.

ESPN Plus assists USF in its television and radio production & syndication, advertising sales, in-stadium marketing, signage and video board advertising, local market promotions, event & game day management, and ticket sales strategies and implementation. Specific to television, ESPN Regional works with local Tampa Bay affiliates to air USF games through the BIG EAST contract. Most recently, television partnerships have been cultivated with ABC 28 and Tampa Bay’s Catch 47. In addition to game broadcasts, USF gains exposure through the weekly Jim Leavitt Show on ABC 28, which is hosted by sports anchor Al Keck and airs on Saturday mornings throughout the football season.

RADIO USF is pleased to air all 12 of its football games on WFLA 970, the most powerful AM station in the Tampa Bay market. Jim Louk and Mark Robinson continue to call all the football action, a role they have fulfilled since the Inaugural Season in 1997. Jim Lighthall remains on the crew as the pre-game and post-game host, a role he has held since 1998. Louk, originally the voice of USF Basketball on the radio from 198397, is also the Assistant Athletics Director for Sales and Broadcasting at USF. A native of Rochester, New York and a graduate of the University of Bridgeport, Louk made the transition to football in USF’s 1997 Inaugural Season. He also hosts the weekly Jim Leavitt Radio Show throughout the season, which will air on WDAE 620, a sister station to WFLA.The Jim Leavitt Show will occur live this year at The Bull Ring on Fowler Avenue, just three miles from campus. Robinson enjoyed a seven-year NFL career as a defensive back with the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, after earning AllAmerica and GTE Academic All-America honors at Penn State. He was a junior on Penn State’s 1982 National Championship Team, when he had nine tackles and two interceptions in the Sugar Bowl win over Georgia. Robinson was a fourth round choice of the Kansas City Chiefs in 1984. In addition to his football duties on the USF Football Network, Lighthall has been the analyst on the USF Basketball Network for the past six seasons.

RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM

F O O T B A L L Whether it’s on the natural grass field that is envied by every NFL player outside of Tampa Bay, in the plush fan seating areas, or the spacious club facilities and comfortable press box, the impression of Raymond James Stadium - Home of the USF Bulls - is impressive and immediate.The entire facility takes state-of-the-art up a notch. Raymond James Stadium - also home to the 2003 Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the annual Outback Bowl - is a $168.5 million facility which opened September 20, 1998 with a Tampa Bay Buccaneers game against the Chicago Bears.Two weeks later, the Bulls debuted in their new home with a 45-6 win over Citadel, in front of 32,598 fans. The Bulls have continued to enjoy a winning edge in Raymond James, building a 49-7 record since 1998, including one streak of 21 straight victories at home. Tampa Bay hosted its third Super Bowl, and it’s first in Raymond James Stadium, in 2001 and the stadium also serves as an outstanding venue for outdoor concert acts. The facility also continues a proud tradition as the finest natural grass surface in the country.The bermuda-sodded field in the former Tampa Stadium - home to Super Bowls XVIII and XXV - earned annual recognition from the NFL Players Association as the league’s finest field, and the recognition has continued at Raymond James Stadium, which has affectionately become known as “The Ray Jay.”

The comfort extends into the fan areas with arm-chair theatre seats with cup holders in all sections. Additionally, the seats range from 19 to 21 inches wide.The stadium seats more than 65,000 for NFL games, with the capability to increase to 75,000 on a temporary basis. For USF games, the lower half of the stadium allows for a capacity of 41,441. Raymond James also features not one - but two - giant Daktronics video boards that can be broken down into several different images, and show several games from around the country at one time. Additional fan-friendly luxuries include 1,158 televisions throughout the stadium. The stadium has 167 club suites on two floors at mid-level along both sidelines. Each suite has retractable glass windows, a private refreshment bar and restroom, and five televisions.The Club Seating also allows access opportunities into two 65,000 square foot air conditioned lounges with amenities including sports bars, specialty restaurants and large video walls. The stadium’s media facilities are also first class, including 225 seats on the west side suite level with booths for television, radio and team coaches. It also offers a dining area featuring an impressive video wall. There is also a media room at ground level, just inside Gate D. Paid for through a combination of a Community Investment Tax, a State of Florida sales tax rebate and a portion of the tourist development tax, the stadium is named for the Raymond James investment firm, headquartered in St. Petersburg, Fla.

USF IN THE COMMUNITY When several USF players visited the Levine’s Children’s Hospital while in Charlotte, NC for the 2005 Meineke Car Care Bowl, it was simply the latest in a long line of community outreach programs that all USF student-athletes involve themselves with. It is part of the collegiate experience and a component that serves to vastly enhance that experience. In addition to representing USF on the fields of play, the studentathletes take pride in giving time to their Tampa Bay community in the form of volunteer services with a hope for impacting lives, especially those of children.

Student-athletes are also involved in activities such as “Paint Your Heart Out” where staff and student-athletes are split into two groups to spruce up a selected home where the owner is not able to do so. One group prepares the home for painting while the second handles the painting duties.

The football Bulls join with athletic department staff and studentathletes from throughout USF’s 18-sport athletic program to form a solid base in the Tampa Bay community.

USF student-athletes were also popular visitors to those students who participated in the Hillsborough County Parks and Recreation Center “Reading Incentive Program.” In conjunction with Hillsborough County Schools, Bull student-athletes have breakfast with those students who have reached reading goals.

Since 1998-99, the “USF Student-Athlete Speakers Bureau” has seen student-athletes visit local recreation centers and speak to youth about the importance of staying in school and how that, plus athletics, has personally aided USF student-athletes in their quests to receive an education. USF Football began involvement with Habitat For Humanity in 2004, with Coach Leavitt and 50 players helping build a home in Wimauma.

USF’s female student-athletes are also involved in the “National Girls and Women in Sports Day” when they visit local schools and speak to female students about the impact athletics has had on their lives and the opportunities - like college scholarships - athletics can provide, provided the students stay in and do well in school.

Children at the Shriner’s Hospital, located on the USF campus, also look forward to visits from USF student-athletes. USF belongs to the community and Bull student-athletes know their visibility and consistent constructive activity is a key to having the community realize their commitment to it.

Bulls Speed into 10th Season with Momentum of Historic Bowl Bid Although USF heads into its 10th-ever season of football with an impressive list of accomplishments – including a first-ever Bowl appearance in 2005 – head coach Jim Leavitt, who has been in charge every step of the way, knows what’s behind you doesn’t matter. So, it comes as no surprise that Leavitt refuses to allow his staff and players to take anything for granted heading into 2006, the Bulls’ second season in the Big East. He knows that like any season – with a successful year behind you or not – there will be questions to answer. In 2006, the largest question will be who fills the void of all-time leading rusher Andre Hall. Not too far behind that is who will start at quarterback? “We have a lot of guys back who we know can play,” says Leavitt. “But we also lose some guys that must be replaced. Andre Hall, three starters on the defensive line and the strong safety all have to be replaced.Those are important positions to fill. So, we have to find answers.” While the answers to those questions and more may not be completely answered until August camp, Leavitt is confident there are plenty of options. For instance, redshirt freshman Moise Plancher, sophomore Ricky Ponton and senior Walt Smith – a converted defensive back – have displayed outstanding skill sets through spring ball and figure to collectively find a way to replace Hall. And while starters will be missing from the defensive line and at safety – most notably all-time sack leader Terrence Royal and sixth-year veteran Johnnie Jones – the players coming up have gained some spot duty experience as backups. And at safety, Danny Verpaele, a Freshman All-American in 2004, who missed the 2005 season with a broken foot, returns this fall. Perhaps the biggest hurdle to overcome in finding the many replacements will be the relative youth of this year’s team, which if possible, is even younger than 2005 when 70 players who entered August camp were freshmen or sophomores.That number is over 70 in 2006, while there are only 14 seniors on the roster. Further, only six of those seniors – Will Bleakley, S.J. Green, Pat Julmiste, Stephen Nicholas,Tavarious Robinson and Patrick St. Louis - have been with USF their entire career. Two of the seniors – James Jackson and Devin Gordon – are in their first season with USF, while the remaining six – Ryan Bourdeau, Jeremy Burnett, Darren Haliburton, Ean Randolph,Walt Smith and Thed Watson – have a combined seven years of play at USF. Additionally,Watson is the only one of the five who has started at USF. “You think we were young last year? We’re much younger this year,” Leavitt told the St. Petersburg Times following the spring season.“We’ve never had such a small senior class, ever. Leadership? Look at the leaders we lost.We’re not right at the stage where we can be a juggernaut every year, but we’re trying. It will be real interesting to watch this team this summer. Guys are going to have to work at an unbelievable level.”

THE OFFENSE The biggest disappointment in 2005, when USF made its way to the Meineke Car Care Bowl, was inconsistency on offense.The Bulls looked stunning en route to a 45-14 win over Louisville, but also had a 15-10 loss at Connecticut and failed to score for the first time ever in the Bowl game.The USF pass offense finished 107th among 117 teams in the NCAA rankings. The Bulls did finish 18th in the nation in rushing (boosting their overall NCAA rank for total offense to 79th) with 203 yards per game. But 114.5 of those rushing yards disappear with the absence of Hall, who ranked 12th nationally among individuals in rushing. Leavitt and offensive coordinator Rod Smith know they have to find a way to improve the offensive production and traveled to Texas and Missouri in the off-season to visit with those school’s coaches on their respective offenses. Both Texas and Missouri built their offense around their quarterback, something USF would like to do. But first, the staff must answer who the quarterback will be.

Senior quarterback Pat Julmiste has the benefit of 23 career starts in trying to hold down the job

RUNNING BACKS

QUARTERBACKS Heading into the August camp, the staff has opted to move Carlton Hill (So., 6-3, 220) to receiver, where he played in his rookie season prior to an opportunity at quarterback.That move leaves veteran starter Pat Julmiste (Sr., 6-3, 220) and redshirt freshman Matt Grothe (Fr., 6-0, 200), who pushed himself firmly into the mix with an outstanding spring season. Although Julmiste returns with 23 career starts and 29 game appearances, the staff needs to see a better level of consistency from the senior or Grothe could win the job. Julmiste certainly won’t give up on the challenge. Coaches love his dedication and effort, and they have seen flashes of good things throughout his three seasons. In USF’s 45-14 win over ninth-ranked Louisville last season, Julmiste looked poised and in command as he led the Bulls to victory. If he can find consistency and combine it with his experience, he could hold on to the starting job. Grothe, meanwhile, showed enough talent as a redshirt freshman that former quarterbacks Louis Gachette and Courtney Denson are now in the defensive secondary, and Hill is back at receiver. However, with Hill’s move to receiver, Grant Gregory (So., 6-1, 205) is moving back to quarterback after spending the spring as a strong safety, and the Indiana transfer could emerge as yet another strong contender. Anthony Severino (Jr., 6-2, 185), who is now in his fourth year at USF and has a firm grasp of the offense despite limited game action, also remains available. His value only increased with Hill’s move to receiver, as does the stock of incoming freshman Nate Allen (Fr., 6-2, 190).

RUNNING BACKS In addition to a potential switch at quarterback, USF knows it will have to make a switch at feature back with the departure of Hall, who essentially broke every rushing record in the USF record book. As good as Hall was, Leavitt is confident that redshirt freshman Moise Plancher (Fr., 5-9, 190) and sophomore Ricky Ponton (So., 5-10, 205) have the skill set to excel in the backfield. Plancher has yet to play a down in college, but he has impressed in practice. Ponton got solid experience behind Hall last season, proving capable with 92 carries for 372 yards and two touchdowns. Another intriguing possibility is Walt Smith (Sr., 5-10, 175), who was an outstanding running back in junior college, but played defensive back and special teams for the Bulls in 2006.

OFFENSIVE LINE USF loses three-fifths of the line that protected so well for Hall over the past two seasons, and all three losses are on the interior, where guards Chris Carothers and Frank Davis and center John Miller have completed their eligibility. All three are considerable losses, including Davis, who signed with the Detroit Lions. Miller and Davis were both named second team all-Big East as was returning left tackle Thed Watson (Sr., 6-5, 295). Watson, a senior who transferred last year from junior college, leads a set of three players who gained plenty of playing time last season. He excelled as a pass protector, limiting the nation’s leading sack man – Elvis Dumervil – to no sacks. He did the same against an impressive defensive front at Rutgers. Along with Watson, the Bulls return tackles Marc Dile (So., 6-4, 305) and Walter Walker (Jr., 6-5, 305), who platooned throughout 2005. Dile figures to play opposite Watson at right tackle, while Walker, who has played both tackle and guard, is slated to play right guard. At center, USF considered moving defensive end George Selvie (Fr., 6-4, 255), but despite some impressive work during Bowl practices, he appears better suited at end. So, junior Nick Capogna (Jr., 6-3, 275) heads into August drills as the starter with versatile guard/center Jake Griffin (So., 6-4, 290) backing him up. USF must replace Davis at left guard, and redshirt freshman Danny Tolley (Fr., 6-6, 310) will get a strong look at that spot, although Griffin could also contend. Meanwhile, sophomore Matt Huners (So., 6-3, 290), who did make one start in 2005, will compete for time at both guard spots.

TIGHT ENDS

U S F

At tight end, the Bulls lose Derek Carter and Mike Ruegger who have been the primary tight ends over the past two years.Will Bleakley (Sr., 6-3, 240) has been prominent on special teams over the past two years while getting ready to take over the tight end spot and looked strong in the spring. Meanwhile, Cedric Hill (So., 6-3, 240) proved last season to be a capable utility man as a wideout or a tight end. He should continue in both roles this season, while Ben Busbee (Fr., 6-4, 240) figures to build on his redshirt freshman season that displayed plenty of ability. Busbee will also contend at long snapper. Another interesting possibility at tight end is transfer Devin Gordon (Sr., 6-3, 240) who put up big numbers at Missouri Valley, a NAIA program, and showed enough talent this past spring to win a spot on the Bulls’ roster.

Leavitt is very confident in his receiving corps and he feels the position will strengthen even further when the freshmen arrive this summer. Although Hall led the Bulls in receiving as well as rushing last year, USF returns six of the next seven receiving leaders from 2005. One factor that jumps right out from the lineup of receivers is the clear emphasis on size. Among 14 receivers plus six tight ends, 15 are at least 6-2, and 14 of those are 6-3 or taller. Leading the way is Amarri Jackson (Jr., 6-5, 195), who debuted in impressive fashion in 2005 with 22 catches for 242 yards. He proved to be a skilled runner, catching Louisville off guard for two long reverse runs in USF’s 45-14 win. He also threw a touchdown pass off a reverse in that game. Jackson started most of the season along with Jackie Chambers (Jr., 5-11, 185) and S.J. Green (Sr., 6-3, 220), both of whom also return. Chambers had 21 catches for 290 yards, while Green had 16 receptions for 229 yards. Along with Cedric Hill’s (So., 6-3, 240) numbers at tight end and wideout, that group of four players returns with 69 catches for 900 yards. Marcus Edwards (So., 5-11, 175), Jessie Hester (So., 6-0, 170) and Taurus Johnson (So., 6-1, 190), three receivers who played as true freshmen in 2005, return with a combined 11 catches for 182 yards. Just as Edwards, Hester and Johnson got a shot as true freshmen in 2005, soon-to-arrive freshmen Ed Alcin (Fr., 6-2, 180), Carlton Mitchell (Fr., 6-4, 190) and Jason Sherman (Fr., 6-4, 200) all figure to compete for time in 2006. Another exciting addition is LSU transfer Amp Hill (So. 6-3, 205), who sat out the mandated transfer season last year but often dazzled in practice. Hill must overcome a knee injury from his LSU days, but hopes

are high that he can become the latest of tall, speedy receivers in the Bulls lineup. Ean Randolph (Sr., 5-9, 175) may not be another of those tall wideouts, but the Webber University transfer showed speed and promise in spring and figures to add as a wideout and return specialist in his one year at USF.

THE DEFENSE The USF defense rebounded in 2005 from what USF faithful hope was a fluke in 2004, when the Bulls ranked 77th in the nation, allowing 398.45 yards a game. Having built a reputation as a strong defensive team from the earliest days of the program, the Bulls ranked 17th in the nation in 2005, allowing 311.92 yards, despite a much tougher schedule that included Penn State, Miami, Louisville and West Virginia. Even in the Meineke Car Care Bowl loss, the defense shined in allowing just 14 points. With Leavitt’s defensive background plus the vast experience of coordinator Wally Burnham, who is now in his sixth season at USF, the Bulls defense has a huge asset in the consistency of coaching.

DEFENSIVE LINE The biggest questions to be answered on defense come on the defensive line, where Leavitt has always emphasized the importance of having a strong front four if you want to have a strong overall defense. The Bulls have to replace both defensive ends, including Terrence Royal, who had 10 sacks last season (three in the Meineke Car Care Bowl) to set a new single season and career record at USF. On the left end, USF must replace Jon Simmons, and at tackle,Tim Jones is gone. While ends Josh Julmiste (So., 6-6, 265) (QB Pat’s brother) and Jarriett Buie (Jr., 6-4, 240) have very little college experience, their athleticism, speed and size are even more impressive than what Royal and Simmons brought with them. Julmiste, at 265 with excellent speed, is the largest defensive end the Bulls have ever brought to the front four. Julmiste is the lead candidate at left end, while Buie will battle with redshirt freshman George Selvie (Fr., 6-4, 255) , who showed promise throughout last fall and spring. Size will also be prominent at the interior line positions, where USF

has slightly more experience that at the end positions. Richard Clebert (Jr., 6-1, 295) and Allen Cray (Jr., 6-0, 295), each of whom made starts at nose tackle in 2005, return to provide experience at that spot. In replacing Jones at the other tackle spot, USF will look to converted end Tavarious Robinson (Sr., 6-4, 290), another big and speedy player, to win the starting job with a push from veteran Woody George (Jr., 6-3, 265).

LINEBACKERS The strength of the USF defense in 2006 will clearly be the linebackers, where all three starters return. Ben Moffitt (Jr., 6-2, 240), Stephen Nicholas (Sr., 6-3, 225) and Pat St. Louis (Sr., 6-1, 230) figure

to be among the best units in the Big East, if not the nation.The trio had a combined 264 tackles last season, including 40 for losses.They also combined for 12 sacks. Nicholas, who has been on the Butkus Watch List in each of the past two seasons, earned second team all-Big East last year and could have departed for the NFL, but opted to return for a senior season. He has already been named a preseason honorable mention All-American this year by Street & Smith, and he is on the Bronco Nagurski Trophy Watch List. While Nicholas primarily lines up on the strong side, he is extremely versatile and can roam effectively. St. Louis returns to start on the weak side, where he had 89 tackles, including 9.5 for losses last season. His tackles total was second only to Moffitt, who mans the middle. Moffitt, who was the National Defensive Player of the Week for his performance in USF’s 45-14 win over Louisville last season, had 96 tackles and tied Nicholas for the team lead with 15.5 tackles for loss. While the Moffitt, Nicholas, St. Louis trio brings loads of experience, the depth at linebacker – though strong in quantity – lacks that same experience. Converted safety Sam Miller (So., 5-11, 200) has been an outstanding special teams player and despite perhaps being undersized, he displays outstanding desire and ability as the backup to Nicholas on the strong side. Brouce Mompremier (So., 6-1, 225) got his feet wet last season and brings confidence as the backup to Moffitt in the middle. Backing up St. Louis on the weak side is converted end Chris Robinson (Fr., 6-3, 230), who impressed as a redshirt freshman in 2005. While the starting trio is all set, the Bulls did also add a wealth of talent in the freshman recruiting class – plus Maryland transfer Marvin Peoples (Fr., 6-2, 230) - offering bright possibilities into the future, even after this year’s starters depart.

Linebackers Stephen Nicholas, Ben Moffitt and Patrick St. Louis form a formidable corps in 2006

In the secondary, USF figures to have two of the finest corners in the Big East in juniors Mike Jenkins (Jr., 6-0, 200) and Trae Williams (Jr., 510, 185). Jenkins was second team all-Big East in 2005, and is a consensus preseason all-conference choice this year.While Williams has not received the same attention, he is every bit as talented.The duo combined for 77 tackles and four interceptions in 2005. Similar to the linebacker positions, the Bulls backups at corner are untested, but talented. Converted quarterback Courtney Denson (Jr., 511, 190) is on one side, with redshirt freshman Jerome Murphy (Fr., 6-1, 185) showing promise on the opposite side. Another option is Tyller Roberts (So., 6-1, 190), who saw action as a backup corner in his true freshman season, but will also get a look for depth at free safety, where sophomore Danny Verpaele (So., 5-11, 200) figures to start. Verpaele, a freshman All-American at strong safety in 2004, moves to free safety in 2006 after missing the entire 2005 season with a broken foot. Even with the missed year, his experience and talents have the coaches confident he will fill the role well. Additionally, the Bulls return Carlton Williams (So., 6-4, 205) who started all 12 games at free safety as a freshman, matching Verpaele’s honorable mention Freshman All-America honors.Williams still figures prominently as the Bulls’ nickel back, while also providing a proven option at free safety. At strong safety, USF will look to converted quarterback Louis Gachette (6-3, 205), who showed a quarterback’s mentality and extreme toughness in his action as a backup and nickel back in 2005, when he had 16 tackles and two interceptions. Gachette is backed up by senior Jeremy Burnett (Sr., 6-1, 190), a transfer from Purdue who has contributed mostly on special teams for the Bulls to this point. Among the newcomers, one player to keep an eye on is Oregon transfer Ryan Gilliam (Jr., 5-10, 175), perhaps the speediest player in the secondary.

SPECIALISTS Although the Bulls lose placekicker Kyle Bronson, who opted to transfer away, sophomore Mike Benzer (So., 5-8, 185) had started the season at that spot in 2005, losing the job after some misfortune in the early season. A short but powerful kicker, Benzer enjoys the confidence of USF coaches. USF also loses its punter – Brandon Baker – who was a three-year starter. Freshman walk-on Ilia Petrov (Fr., 5-11, 190) may be the answer, while sophomore William Criswell (So., 5-9, 160) handled the chores through the spring and could be an option. Petrov and 2006 signee Delbert.Alvarado (Fr., 6-0, 175) both have the added bonus of being able to kick or punt. USF has normally utilized a second kicker for all kickoffs and Justin Teachey (So., 5-11, 170) returns in that role from last season. At long snapper, the Bulls return Ryan Bourdeau (Sr., 6-2, 25), who handled the chores throughout the 2005 season. Potential backups include walk-on Luke Birge (Fr., 6-2, 230), tight end Ben Busbee (Fr., 6-3, 240) and Eric Setser (So., 6-1, 240).

THE SCHEDULE

BREAKDOWN BY CLASS

For the first time ever, USF will play a 12-game regular season, and the competition remains tough. In addition to the normal slate of seven Big East games, the Bulls will have to travel to the Big 12’s Kansas and the ACC’s North Carolina. USF does get to open the season with two straight home games against McNeese State (Sept. 2) and Florida International (Sept. 9), before the first road game at UCF (Sept. 16), a rival looking for revenge after the Bulls’ win in a first-ever meeting last year in Tampa. The schedule includes five games against teams who played in a Bowl Game last year, including a season-ending game at defending Big East champ West Virginia, who essentially returns an entire team that defeated Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.That game comes on the heels of a contest at Louisville, another school that will have revenge in mind after USF’s 45-14 win in 2005.

Jim Leavitt -

USF football. He is the only coach the school has ever had as he was presented the job on December 12, 1995. He then went about starting football from scratch and leading the program from an inaugural season in 1997 to I-A status in 2001, Conference USA in 2003 and now the BIG EAST and BCS football in 2005. Having been “forced” to leave the state to play collegiate football and baseball in the mid-1970s, the new contract solidifies Leavitt’s longstanding declaration that he has no intentions of leaving again. When he returned home in 1996 to lead the fledgling USF program, it was for the first time since he left for Missouri in 1974 and he has been emphatic in his desire to stay. “I can see myself coaching at South Florida until I retire,” says Leavitt.“Then I can buy season tickets and sit in the stands and watch the Bulls play on Saturdays.” After the first nine seasons of USF Football, Leavitt has proven only further that he was indeed the right man for the right job at the right time. Charged with fast tracking a program from nonexistence to Division I-A football in just five years time, Leavitt has led the program to an impressive 61-39 record. A mega-success in the first four years at the I-AA level (24 straight weeks in national polls), Leavitt and crew moved to I-A in 2001 and went 8-3, including a 35-26 win at Pittsburgh. In 2002, his team finished 9-2 and seriously contended for a Bowl Game, even as an Independent.The Bulls are also received votes in both major polls and ranked 18th in the final New

Head Coach

Jim Leavitt is working on a new theory. It states, “You can never leave home again.” With apologies to Thomas Wolfe, Leavitt has already proven that you can indeed go home again, having returned to his Tampa Bay roots to oversee the most successful start-up of a college football program in decades. In just 10 years, Leavitt turned a non-existent program into a Bowl team when the Bulls played in the 2005 Meineke Car Care Nowl. And on two occasions in the past three years when prominent programs showed interest, Leavitt has solidified his commitment to USF with a new contract. On November 30, 2005, Leavitt agreed to a seven-year, $7 million deal to stay with the Bulls. That came just over two years after he had signed a new contract through 2009. At this point, Leavitt is the alpha and omega of

York Times Computer Poll, one of several polls utilized by the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) at the time. In fact, USF ranked among the top 30 in each of the computer polls utilized by the BCS, and the program also had a 21-game home winning streak that extended into the 2003 season.

Having blazed yet another milestone in directing the program into its first-ever season in Conference USA in 2003, Leavitt and his squad now move into the BIG EAST after two C-USA seasons. Along with four wins against C-USA foes in 2002, a year before becoming a league member, the Bulls were 12-8 against C-USA opponents. Picked to finish seventh in the eight-team BIG EAST in USF’s debut season of 2005, Leavitt led the Bulls to a major win over then-ninth ranked Louisville and the Bulls finished third in the league. Leavitt’s success has extended beyond league play as he reached his 50th career win faster than all but five active I-A coaches. Leavitt picked up his 50th victory in his 75th game, placing him behind Bob Stoops (Oklahoma), Philip Fulmer (Tennessee), John Robinson (UNLV), Joe Paterno (Penn State) and Lloyd Carr (Michigan). Leavitt’s profile foretold of the success to come at USF, even as he was hired for the job on December 12, 1995, exactly one week following his 39th birthday. “Leading the USF football program is much more than just a job,” said Leavitt when he was hired.“And it is much more than a task at hand. It is something that is a major part of my life, and it will always be that. I am going to do everything I can to build a program without illusions, without cutting corners, doing things the right way and bringing in coaches with character.” Leavitt also speaks a lot about the “being home” factor. “Shortly after I was hired, I was speaking with Brigham Young coach LaVell Edwards,” recalls Leavitt.“He told me that throughout his years at BYU, he had plenty of opportunities to move on to what some might perceive to be better coaching jobs. But, he told me,‘I never left, and you know

why I didn’t? It’s because this is my home.’ “He told me,‘Jim, you’ll never want to leave the (USF) job, because you’re going home.’” Home was a long time coming for Leavitt. It took 23 years and wound through Missouri, Iowa and Kansas. It began in 1974, when the St. Petersburg resident, and a star for Dixie Hollins High School, went off to Missouri, where he was a two-sport standout in football and baseball, earning all-Big 8 in both sports. He also won a Big 8 batting title in 1977 with a .386 average. Upon graduation in 1978, he stayed at Missouri as a graduate assistant, earning a master’s degree in 1979. After two seasons as a graduate assistant, Leavitt moved to the State of Iowa, where was named defensive coordinator at the University of Dubuque in 1980, spending two years in that position, before moving to Morningside College from 1982-87, also as defensive coordinator. At both Dubuque and Morningside, Leavitt was instrumental in transforming the program to success. The Dubuque team had 40 consecutive losing seasons, but Leavitt helped the squad to an 8-2-1 record and the Division III playoffs in his first season. The situation at Morningside was similar with a long track record of losing seasons. Even in Leavitt’s first two seasons there, the squad finished 2-9 and 110, leading to the entire staff - except Leavitt - serving up its resignation. Leavitt assumed interim head coach duties for six months prior to the 1984 season, including the recruitment of that year’s freshmen class. It was then that Leavitt began to rely heavily on home again, even if he couldn’t be there. He decided to aggressively recruit the Sunshine State, loading the Morningside recruiting classes with Florida talent. It helped turn the program to 6-5 and then 73-1 in 1984 and 1985, the first back-to-back winning seasons in the 28 years.

Leavitt also coached the track team at Morningside, a program that had not scored a single point in its conference meet in three years when he took over. In Leavitt’s three seasons, his athletes won five All-America honors, 13 conference titles and set new school records in virtually every event. In 1988, he coached a 4x100 relay team that finished fourth in the nation and he won North Central

Conference Coach of the Year honors. Following his five seasons with Morningside, Leavitt went full force after a Ph.D. in psychology, something he had been pursuing sporadically since 1982. By 1989, he simply needed to complete his dissertation, when Iowa head coach Hayden Fry offered him a graduate position.With the coaching bug, Leavitt took the opportunity and fast tracked a

where, a story from Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa is as good as any in proving the point. As the defensive coordinator in 1985, Leavitt drove from Iowa to St. Petersburg, Fla. to meet a recruit at Lakewood High School for a 9 p.m. meeting. Leavitt pulled a projector out of the trunk of his car, groped in the dark to find a power outlet outside the gym, threw a beach towel over a chair and proceeded to show the recruit Morningside game films. In the two weeks surrounding that one visit, Leavitt put 2,500 miles on his Chrysler LeBaron. The Lakewood recruit ended up a starter at Morningside and never regretted following Leavitt back to Sioux City. Leavitt doesn’t hide the fact that he has taken a carbon copy of the building strategies at both Iowa and Kansas State in building the start-from-scratch program at USF. “I would say I use a lot of things that we did at Kansas State and Iowa as far as the structure of our

T H E C O A C H E S

career in I-A football coaching. After just one season with Iowa, Leavitt was named to Bill Snyder’s staff at Kansas State in 1990, when that program had just been tabbed the “worst in America” by Sports Illustrated. Snyder, who was a coaching disciple of Iowa’s Fry, was in his second season at K-State, when he asked Leavitt to coach the linebackers. The following year, Leavitt was promoted to codefensive coordinator and he was instrumental in building a defense that joined Snyder’s offense in a quick and effective turnaround that had Sports Illustrated calling K-State the most improved team in the nation by 1993. And now, Kansas State has assumed a regular spot in the nation’s top 10. In Leavitt’s five years at Kansas State, the Wildcats were 44-23-1 compared to 22-86-1 in the 1980s. In his final three seasons, Kansas State joined Florida, Florida State, Nebraska and Penn State as the only teams in the nation with three consecutive nine-win seasons. During those three years, Kansas State was 27-8-1. And perhaps most impressively, Leavitt and Bob Stoops designed a defense that went from 93rd in the nation in 1990 to number one in their final season of 1995. The common denominator for success at each of Leavitt’s stops has been an unyielding commitment to old-fashioned hard work. “Nobody but nobody is going to match his work ethic and his energy,” Leavitt’s baseball coach at Missouri once said of him. While that ethic has followed Leavitt every-

program,” says Leavitt.“But we really didn’t use anybody as a model because there really was no model. We were starting a program and the one thing we knew was that our track was going to be fast.” As successful as Kansas State and Iowa were in implementing their strategies, Leavitt can’t help but smile a little bit wider now that he’s implementing it himself in his own backyard. Leavitt and his family first made their backyard in St. Petersburg, Fla. – just 40 minutes from the USF campus - when he was nine years old. Born in Harlingen,Tex., December 5, 1956, Leavitt’s father was an air force pilot, and the family’s move to St. Petersburg was the fifth and final stop. In fact, his parents still live in the family home. A two-sport star in baseball and football (he played quarterback and safety) at Dixie Hollins High School, he graduated in 1974 and went on to Missouri, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in 1978 and a master’s degree in 1979. Leavitt has a 10-year-old daughter, Deandra.

USF HEAD FOOTBALL COACH PROFILE CHARACTERISTICS “Essential or Preferred Skills Successful Candidate Expected to Bring to USF” When the University of South Florida began its search for a head coach in September, 1995, it listed several “essential or preferred skills” from a successful candidate. Jim Leavitt, named head coach in December, 1995, met and even exceeded all desired skills. COACHING EXPERIENCE: Jim Leavitt has been involved in intercollegiate football coaching since 1978, has also been a head track and field coach at the college level, and served as a strength and conditioning coach for 10 intercollegiate sports. He has risen from the graduate level as a football coach to defensive and special teams coordinator at the Division II and III levels to linebacker coach, and eventually defensive coordinator at the Division I level with Kansas State. EDUCATION/ACADEMIC ISSUES: Jim Leavitt was selected to the All-Big Eight Academic Team in football and baseball at Missouri, and he was also a member of the prestigious QEBH, a national honorary for outstanding achievement in college academics and athletics. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Education and a master’s degree in counseling, both from Missouri. Additionally, he completed all his course work and written comps for a PhD from Iowa, but accepted a coaching position at Kansas State, prior to completing a dissertation. NCAA RULES COMPLIANCE RECORD: All programs that Leavitt has been associated with have clean NCAA slates during his tenure. As a recruiter at the Division I level for six years at Kansas State, his knowledge of NCAA rules and regulations is solid. GEOGRAPHIC BACKGROUND/FAMILIARITY WITH FLORIDA FOOTBALL: Leavitt graduated from Dixie Hollins High School in St. Petersburg, a 40-minute drive from the USF campus. A great portion of his recruiting base while at Kansas State was the State of Florida. In 1995, Leavitt’s final season at Kansas State, the roster contained 22 players from Florida, including two All-Americans on Leavitt’s defensive unit. MANAGEMENT SKILLS: As an interim head coach at Morningside College, strength and conditioning coach for 10 sports at Missouri, and defensive coordinator with three different programs on three different NCAA levels of play, Leavitt has honed his skills at a successful manager.The supervision of defensive position coaches, working with student-athletes of differing position and skill and the many administrative duties that accompany a top assistant at a Division I program have aided in his ability to manage successfully. In addition, Leavitt balanced his studies for a PhD with coaching duties while at Iowa.

SUPPORT: As a native of the Tampa Bay area, as well as a Florida recruiter, Leavitt has a solid base for continuing to build on local support for USF Football. His enthusiasm for the profession and the USF position in particular further solidify the foundation. ENERGY LEVEL: When asked where he will reside when he relocates to the Tampa Bay area, Leavitt responded,“in my office.” He did buy a house, but Leavitt’s passion for college football and the USF job in particular is worn on his sleeves. TEAM DISCIPLINE: Jim Gladden, a former assistant coach at Florida State:“I have known Jim Leavitt for several years on a professional basis, and have found him to be a man of impeccable character, who has displayed a high degree of integrity and morality throughout his career as a player and coach.”

From Worst to First in Six Years Jim Leavitt arrived at Kansas State as linebackers coach in 1990. One year prior to that, the K-State defense ranked 93rd of 106 Division I-A programs in total defense, and 106th – or last – against the run. In 1990, the Wildcats moved up to 82nd and 92nd in those categories. In 1991, Leavitt and Bob Stoops were promoted to co-defensive coordinators and the K-State defense progressed to number one in the nation by 1995, Leavitt’s (and Stoops) final season.The following is a chart of K-State’s rise from worst to first in defense.

Wally Burnham Defensive Coordinator/ Linebackers

T H E C O A C H E S

When USF head coach Jim Leavitt announced the addition of Wally Burnham to the USF staff in March 2000, he drew an analogy to a “recruiting coup.” Why not? After all, Burnham has an abundance of big-time college coaching experience, including nine years with Bobby Bowden at Florida State and five years as an assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at South Carolina. Furthermore, Burnham has blazed the recruiting trails throughout Florida and beyond during his coaching career. In all, Burnham brings 38 years of coaching experience (including 34 at the college or pro level) to the table. Now, after six seasons in a key role building a powerful USF defense, Burnham has been promoted to assistant head coach and also becomes the sole defensive coordinator after four years as co-coordinator. Burnham has done plenty to prove Leavitt’s decision to hire him six years ago to be a very astute one. Although his role was coaching the defensive ends in 2000 before assuming a more prominent role as co-coordinator in 2001, Burnham’s imprint has been on the USF defense from the outset. Since 2000, the USF defense has improved from 32nd among all I-AA programs nationally to 38th among I-A schools in 2001 and all the way to 17th in Division I-A in 2002, 2003 and once again in 2005. Also in 2002, the Bulls ranked number one in the nation in turnover margin thanks in large part to a ball-hawking defense that was also ranked seventh nationally against the run. Burnham played a large role in the development of USF linebacker Kawika Mitchell, who became the school’s all-time leader in tackles and the highest-ever drafted Bull when the Kansas City Chiefs took him in the second round in 2003. Maurice Jones, another Burnham pupil, signed a free agent contract with the Green Bay Packers. Current USF linebacker Stephen Nicholas appears a likely candidate to follow in their footsteps, having been named to the Butkus

and Nagurski Award Watch Lists. Developing NFL linebackers is nothing new for Burnham, who coached nine linebackers at Florida State who were drafted into the NFL and a 10th player who signed as a free agent. Among his standout linebackers at FSU were Derrick Brooks, Marvin Jones, Paul McGowan, Jesse Solomon and Garth Jax. Jones and McGowan each won the Butkus Award, and Jones added the Lombardi Award. Prior to joining USF, Burnham was the assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at South Carolina between 1994-98. Upon arriving at South Carolina, literally just days after Florida State’s 1993 National Championship win, Burnham instituted a new 4-3 scheme for the Gamecocks, and he quickly molded what became to be considered the most improved defense in the SEC. The defense ranked as high as 22nd in the nation under Burnham, and it was a crucial factor in South Carolina’s win over West Virginia in the 1996 Carquest Bowl. Prior to coaching at South Carolina, Burnham was a nine-year assistant (1985-93) to Bobby Bowden at Florida State, where he was on the 1993 National Championship staff. At Florida State, Burnham coaches linebackers in a program that won nine straight Bowl Games during his tenure. FSU also finished among the nation’s top four teams in eight of his nine seasons, including the 1993 National Championship. A 1963 graduate of Samford (secondary education), Burnham began playing collegiately for Bear Bryant at Alabama during the 1960 and 1961 seasons. He transferred to Samford, where he was a Little All-America linebacker in his senior season. He also has a master’s degree in Athletic Administration from West Alabama. He began coaching at the high school level in 1967, before first joining the college ranks at North Alabama in 1971, where he remained the offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator through 1976, before moving to East Tennessee State as defensive coordinator for two seasons (1977-78). In 1979, Burnham was defensive coordinator at Richmond, and he then moved on to Memphis State as linebackers coach in 1980. In 1981-82, Burnham was defensive coordinator at Lamar, and he then made the jump to the USFL, where he was the linebackers coach for the Arizona Wranglers, who reached the 1984 USFL Championship Game. Burnham joined Bowden at Florida State after two seasons (1983-84) with the Wranglers. A native of Pell City, Ala., Burnham and his wife, Barbara, have three children, Patrick, Allison and Shane. Shane was a four-year letter winner, and threeyear starting linebacker at South Carolina from 1994-97. He is now an assistant coach at Elon.

Bernard Clark, a Tampa native, a standout linebacker at the University of Miami, and a former NFL player, was named to the USF staff March 23, 2006 after two seasons as the defensive coordinator at Florida International University. At Florida International, Clark worked to improve a defensive unit that allowed 478 yards per game against a I-AA schedule in 2004 to one that gave up 375 yards per game against a I-A schedule in 2005. Although Florida Intrernational was not included in national rankings in 2005 due to its re-classification process, the defense would have ranked among the top 60 in I-A after ranking 115th in I-AA in 2004. Against Florida Atlantic in 2005, Clark’s defense tied an NCAA record when it returned four interceptions for touchdowns. Clark began his college coaching in 1998 at James Madison University, where he was defensive ends coach in 1998 and 1999. He then moved to Liberty University, where he was linebacker and special teams coach from 20002003. In his six seasons between James Madison and Liberty, Clark was on an opposing sideline from the Bulls three times. His 1999 James Madison team defeated the Bulls, while USF beat Liberty in 2000 and 2001. Prior to joining the college coaching ranks, Clark first coached as a volunteer at Tampa’s King High School in 1996 before being named defensive coordinator at Lakeland Santa Fe in 1997. As a linebacker at Miami, Clark was on the Hurricanes’ 1987 and 1989 National Championship teams, and he won the MVP award in the 1988 Orange Bowl. A 1989 graduate of Miami, he was drafted by Cincinnati that year in the third round. He played two seasons with the Bengals and then spent one camp with Dallas in 1992, before playing with Orlando in the Arena League in 1994 and 1996. Clark attended Miami out of Tampa’s Leto High School, where he was a highly recruited athlete. Clark, 39, is married to wife,Tammy.

recently been the graduate assistant at LSU in 2003, when the Tigers won the National Championship. He has also coached at Tampa’s Blake High School in 2002, and he was a training camp assistant with the St. Louis Rams in 2001. Dawsey and his wife, Chantel, have a son, Lawrence, Jr.

T H E C O A C H E S

COACHING EXPERIENCE From his debut at USF in 2004, this former All-America receiver at Florida State has done a remarkable job with a youth-oriented receiving corps. Hopes are high in 2006 with the return of three starting receivers plus several fast-rising sophomores, including LSU transfer Amp Hill. Like Hill, Dawsey joined USF from LSU, where he was a graduate assistant during the Tigers’ 2003 National Championship season. His rookie season with USF in 2004 marked his first full time collegiate coaching role. In addition to his outstanding playing career at Florida State, Dawsey enjoyed a solid NFL career, mostly with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who drafted him in the third round of the 1991 NFL Draft. He went on to be named Sports Illustrated Rookie of the Year and was also named to the Pro Football Weekly AllRookie Team. He led the Buccaneers in receiving that year with 55 catches for 818 yards (a Buccaneer rookie record) and three touchdowns. He led the team for a second straight season in 1992 with 60 catches for 776 yards and one touchdown. After missing most of the 1993 season, Dawsey again led the Bucs in 1994 with 46 catches for 673 yards and one touchdown. In 1995, his final season with the Bucs, he had 30 catches for 372 yards and no touchdowns. His 206 career receptions are 10th most on the Bucs all-time list, while his 2,842 yards stand eighth. He had four 100-yard receiving games, including a best of 116 on seven receptions at Washington, December 18, 1994. Dawsey would go on to play for the New York Giants in 1996, the Miami Dolphins in 1997 and the New Orleans Saints in 1999. At Florida State, Dawsey earned All-America honors in his 1990 senior season when he led the Seminoles with 65 receptions for 999 yards and seven touchdowns. He had also led the team as a junior with 38 catches for 683 yards and four touchdowns and he had 128 career receptions for 2,129 yards, including nine 100-yard games. His career highs in receptions (13) and yards (172) came against Florida State’s top rivals Miami and Florida, respectively, each in his senior season. He had a career-long 93-yard touchdown reception in his 1988 sophomore season against Southern Mississippi. Dawsey began a coaching career prior to signing with the Saints in 1999 after a year away from the NFL His first taste of coaching came at Tampa Catholic High School in 1998, where he supervised the receivers.

In his one year at South Carolina State between his Big Ten jobs with Michigan State and Indiana, Douglas was instrumental in building a defense that led I-AA in pass efficiency defense. At SMU, Douglas coached running backs for one season (1997) before moving over to head the secondary.Two of his students – Jacoby Rhinehart (Arizona) and Donald Mitchell (Tennessee) were drafted by NFL teams. In 1998, SMU was ranked 14th nationally in defense. In his two seasons at UTEP, Douglas coached the secondary in 1995 and running backs in 1996, after three seasons as the secondary coach at East Tennessee State. At ETSU, the Buccaneers ranked third in the nation in pass efficiency defense, and one of Douglas’ palyers – Donnie Abraham – went on to a very successful career with the New York Jets that included a Pro Bowl appearance. Douglas began a full-time coaching career as the defensive backs coach at West Chester (Pa.) in 1989, where he coached Lee Woodall, a Pro Bowl player in 1995 and 1997 as a San Francisco 49er. A native of Jacksonville, Fla., Douglas was a four-year starter at wide receiver for Appalachian State from 1983-86. He led the team in receiving as a junior and his 90 career receptions for 1,401 yards still rank him among the top five in school history.With a bachelor’s degree in communications arts (1988), he was a graduate assistant for two seasons at his alma mater. Douglas and his wife, Rebecca, have two children – Tanner (6) and Taryn (4).

Carl Franks Running Backs/ Recruiting Coordinator

T H E C O A C H E S

Now in his third season at USF, Franks was no stranger to State of Florida football when he joined the Bulls in 2004. After four-plus years of experience as a Division I-A head coach, Franks returned to Florida in 2004, where he assisted in building a powerful offense with Steve Spurrier at the University of Florida in the 1990s. In addition to coaching running backs at USF, he oversees the recruiting efforts, a responsibility in which he proved ultra-successful during his tenure at Florida as well. In 2004 and 2005, Franks tutored Bulls’ running back Andre Hall, a junior college transfer who came to USF at the same time Franks arrived. In those two years, Franks helped mold Hall into USF’s all-time leading rusher with back-to-back single season rushing record seasons.With Hall now departed, Franks turns his focus to a strong group of runners looking to replace the record holder. A 1983 Duke graduate, Franks was named head coach there on his 38th birthday - December 1, 1998 - and he went on to lead the Blue Devils for 52 games into the 2003 season. The former football letterman at Duke returned to Durham following nine seasons at Florida, where he helped the Gators to eight bowl games along with the 1996 national championship. At Duke, Franks continued a strong commitment to academics.The reality of Duke’s academic success came to the forefront in June of 2003 when the football program earned the Academic Achievement Award from the American Football Coaches Association for the 11th time. No other school in the nation has garnered the honor more than six times. The 2003 award was based on the graduation rate for the class entering college in the fall of 1997, and Duke led the way with a perfect 100 percent standard. The commitment to academics is one Franks and the entire USF coaching staff stress in recruiting efforts for the Bulls. In his inaugural season as a head coach in 1999, Franks gave Duke-faithful signs of a successful future, as his first head coaching victory was a come-from-behind double-overtime win over Virginia in Charlottesville. It marked Duke’s first victory at Virginia since Franks was a Blue Devil player in 1981. The Blue Devils notched another ACC road victory in 1999, defeating the Maryland Terrapins in another thriller, 25-22, while Franks’ first victory within the friendly confines of Wallace Wade Stadium came over conference rival Wake Forest, 48-35. Included in the win over the Demon Deacons was a school-record 34-point first quarter scoring spree by the Blue Devils. Franks was also honored during his inaugural season by being selected as the head coach of the 1999 Gray squad in the annual Blue-Gray Classic held in Montgomery, Ala. on Christmas Day. Franks returned to his alma mater after 12 years as an assistant coach under the ultra-successful Spurrier. Franks worked with Spurrier from 1987-89 at Duke and then the next nine seasons at the University of Florida. It was at Florida where Franks and the rest of the Gator program landed in the national spotlight. While there, Franks was an integral part of five SEC championship teams, including the 1996 squad that captured the national championship at the Sugar Bowl. In his tenure with the Gators, Franks helped Florida win 25 straight league games from 1994-97 for the second-longest streak in conference history and become just one of two schools in SEC history to win four consecutive league championships (1993-96). In all, Franks has coached nine squads that played in bowl games, including Duke’s 1989 All American Bowl berth versus Texas Tech. That appearance capped off

one of Duke’s greatest seasons in the past 20 years, with the team winning its last seven games for an 8-3 record and a share of the 1989 ACC championship. Franks spent the majority of his time at Florida as the school’s running backs coach and recruiting coordinator - both areas of strength for the elite program. He coached two Gator running backs who gained over 3,000 career rushing yards in Errict Rhett and Fred Taylor. Rhett finished his career as the only offensive back in NCAA I-A history to rush for over 4,100 yards and catch 150 passes while Taylor rushed for 3,075 yards in his college career and was the ninth overall selection in the 1998 NFL Draft. In his seven years as a running backs coach, a Gator back rushed for over 100 yards in a game 44 times. Florida ranked among the nation’s top 15 teams in total offense six times in those eight years Franks was coaching on the offensive side of the ball. He was the team’s inside linebackers coach in 1994. And that was also successful as the stop unit set a Gator record by allowing just 84.6 yards rushing per game, the fifth-best mark in the nation. As recruiting coordinator from 1991-93, he helped put together the nation’s top recruiting class in 1992 according to Super Prep and Blue Chip Report. The incoming classes of 1993 and 1994 were also highly regarded, both ranking in the nation’s top 10. In 1996, the Gators rolled to a 12-1 overall record which included a perfect 8-0 regular season ledger in the SEC. After closing out the regular season with a 24-21 loss to Florida State, Florida rebounded with a 45-30 victory over Alabama in the SEC Championship Game. Then came the rematch with the Seminoles, where the Gators avenged the earlier loss with a 52-20 win to claim the national title. Franks, a three-year letterman from 1980-82, helped lead Duke to the 1989 ACC championship as the school’s running backs coach.That year, running back Randy Cuthbert became Duke’s first 1,000-yard rusher in nearly 20 years while the Blue Devil offense gained a school-record 5,519 yards. After dropping three of its first four games, the 1989 Blue Devil squad reeled off seven straight wins by averaging over 37 points per game during that stretch. Duke also closed out the regular season with consecutive victories over in-state opponents Wake Forest (52-35), N.C. State (35-26) and North Carolina (41-0). As a player at Duke, Franks saw action at both running back and tight end and was selected as an academic All-ACC performer in 1982. He was also the winner of the Mike Suglia Award, given to the team’s top sophomore scholar-athlete. He graduated from Duke in 1983 with a degree in psychology. Franks, 45, has two daughters, Brittany (17) and Courtney (14).

* USF did not play games in 1996 Highly energetic and dedicated to helping young players improve their skills with each passing day, Greg Frey has been on the USF staff from the inception of the program in 1996, when he came aboard as a graduate assistant. He took full time status in 1999 as the defensive ends coach and assumed his current role with the offensive linemen in 2000. Frey has quickly gained a reputation for molding young offensive linemen into outstanding players both as individuals and more importantly as a unit. It began with Kenyatta Jones, an offensive tackle who became USF’s first-ever player to be drafted into the NFL when the New England Patriots selected him in the fourth round of the 2001 draft. Between 2001 and 2002, after Jones and four-year starter Joey Sipp concluded their USF career, Frey worked almost exclusively with freshmen and sophomore starters and yet his charges always performed well beyond their collective experience while protecting quarterback Marquel Blackwell, who set every USF career passing record over the last four years. In 2002, USF quarterbacks were sacked just 19 times despite a starting line comprised entirely of freshmen and sophomores. In 2001, USF quarterbacks were sacked just 16 times. In 2004, Frey had the luxury of a complete starting unit that returned intact for a second straight season, including seniors Alex Herron (center), Levi Newton (right tackle) and Derrick Sarosi (left tackle). Newton signed a free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts, and despite the fact that he, Herron and Sarosi have all departed, Frey has continued to develop outstanding talent including Frank Davis, the most recent USF lineman to sign an NFL contract (Detroit). A former standout offensive lineman at Florida State University and Clearwater High School in Pinellas County, Frey has been a perfect fit on the USF staff. “Greg Frey has displayed the devotion and passion we look for in the South Florida football program,” head coach Jim Leavitt said upon announcing his original promotion in 1999. “He has been a very capable member on our staff from the beginning, and we are pleased to have an opportunity to promote him.” In his graduate assistant role at USF from 1996-98, Frey worked mostly with the offensive line, but he also played an instrumental part in breaking down opponent film and working with the USF scout teams in preparing the Bulls for each opponent. When he took over the defensive ends, he played a critical role in the early development of the Shawn Hay, who was USF’s all-time sack leader when he graduated in 2000. A 1992 graduate of Clearwater High, and a 1996 graduate of Florida State, Frey was an offensive tackle on the Seminoles’ 1993 National Championship team. In 1990, Super Prep Magazine rated him the top offensive lineman in the country while he was at Clearwater High, and he went on to earn Parade All-America status. Frey was born December 4, 1972.

COACHING EXPERIENCE

T H E C O A C H E S

When Greg Gregory joined the USF staff in 2005, he brought a wealth of experience to draw upon, including two seasons as a head coach and 16 years at Army, where he spent nine seasons as the offensive coordinator. He spent the final seven of his nine years at Army as the associate head coach. Gregory also earned Athlon Magazine’s Assistant Coach of the Year award in 1996. Gregory works with the tight ends at USF, but his broad-based experience is a strong asset in helping build all phases of the Bulls offense. Prior to joining USF, Gregory was offensive coordinator at Ohio from 20012003, where he played a major role in helping the Bobcats to score an average of 32 points in MAC play in 2002, the program’s highest average in more than 25 years. Gregory was also offensive coordinator at Richmond, his alma mater, in 2000, helping the Spiders to a 10-3 record and a berth in the NCAA I-AA playoffs. It was immediately prior to that 2000 season that Gregory was a head coach at Missouri Southern State College in Joplin, Missouri, holding that job in 1998 and 1999. The major bulk of Gregory’s coaching career came at Army, where he began as a part-time assistant in 1982 under head coach Ed Cavanaugh. He first worked with receivers in 1982 and 1983 and then assumed command of the tight ends in 1984, while he also worked that one season as the head coach of the junior varsity team. In 1985 he began the first of two seasons as the running backs coach before spending the 1987 season coaching the quarterbacks. It was in 1989 that Gregory became offensive coordinator and in 1991 he added associate head coach to his duties at Army. While at Army, he helped lead the program to its only four Bowl Games in the Academy’s history and the Cadets won 10 of 16 games against arch-rival Navy.The Cadets also led the nation in rushing four separate times during Gregory’s tenure. He coached Ron McAda, the only Army quarterback ever drafted into the NFL and running back Mike Mayweather, who rushed for more than 4,000 career yards.

Rich Rachel Cornerbacks

Richard Rachel, who has been coaching football since 1969, including a stay with the final team at the University of Tampa in 1974, joined the USF program just prior to the start of the 2000 season. He first coached the secondary in 2000 before assuming oversight of the defensive ends in 2001, where he remained for four seasons before returning to the secondary, where his focus is on the cornerbacks. Regardless of his role, Rachel has been successful in helping gel his unit into USF’s successful defense. As the cornerbacks coach, Rachel is instrumental in developing returning starters Mike Jenkins and Trae Williams, among the finest corner tandems in the BIG EAST Conference. In his four seasons with the ends, Rachel helped develop outstanding talent that led to 141 sacks over a 44-game stretch. In those 44 games, 66.5 of the 141 sacks came from the defensive ends. Among his pupils at defensive end,Terrence Royal went on to set USF’s career sack record and tie the single season mark after he had three sacks in the 2005 Meineke Car Care Bowl. Working well with defensive coordinator Wally Burnham, Rachel stresses a complete defensive game from his players, demanding a strong skill set for defending the run and pass. Before taking over the ends in 2001, Rachel held together a USF secondary that saw a position switch for Anthony Henry (Dallas Cowboys/Cleveland Browns) from free safety to cornerback and a career-ending injury to Jay Mize, Henry’s replacement at safety, which in turn forced starting strong safety Roy Manns to move to free safety. Henry would prove a smashing success at corner, leading to his fourth round selection in the NFL Draft, and Joe Morgan stepped up at strong safety, while Manns held down the free spot. Rachel, who has been an assistant head coach for Kansas State (1986-88) and a defensive coordinator at Rutgers (1990-95), North Dakota (1989) North Carolina State (1983-85) and Morehead State (1978), was most recently the offensive line coach at Fort Scott Community College prior to joining USF. The USF job is a homecoming of sorts for Rachel, who began his coaching career as the head coach at Tampa’s Chamberlain High School from 1969-73. He then moved on to the University of Tampa as the secondary coach for the 1974 season, before that program disbanded and he worked as an assistant at Tampa King High School in 1975. Following one season at King, he moved permanently into the college ranks as the defensive coordinator at Morehead State, where he earned a master’s degree in 1977, Rachel earned his bachelor’s degree from Parsons College in Fairfield, Iowa in 1969.

Rod Smith Offensive Coordinator/ Quarterbacks

T H E C O A C H E S

Now in his sixth season on the USF staff, Rod Smith enters his second year as the offensive coordinator. In his first four years, Smith was pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Smith, who had worked with up-tempo offenses at West Virginia and Clemson, helped install a no-huddle, spread offense at USF when he arrived in 2001.The task at hand for Smith is to help develop a consistent starting quarterback to run the offense. Smith and staff had the very good fortune to work with Marquel Blackwell, who had a brilliant career at quarterback for the Bulls from 1999-2002. Although the transition from Blackwell to a consistent replacement has been an ongoing process, the proficiency of the USF offense is a proven commodity. In the 22 games during Smith’s first two seasons at USF, the offense put up 5,777 passing yards, including the top two single season passing numbers in the program’s seven years of football. Nationally, the Bulls ranked 22nd (2002) and 32nd (2003) in passing. Efficiency has also been a trademark of the passing game.The Bulls threw just five interceptions in 2002, only three of which came from Blackwell among his 403 pass attempts. In fact, Blackwell ranked number one in the nation in interception percentage, and the Bulls ranked first nationally in turnover margin, largely due to so few offensive turnovers. Also a trademark for the USF offense is the broad array of choices in the four and five-receiver sets. In 2002, seven different players had at least 15 receptions, and a total of 19 players were on the receiving end of passes for the Bulls. Even in 2004, when passing production fell – in part due to the emergence of running back Andre Hall – 15 different players took part in the receiving game. That number grew by one to 16 in 2005, and Hall led the team in receiving, displaying Smith’s effectiveness in developing pass plays to the backfield. Immediately prior to joining USF in 2001, Smith had accepted the quarterback coach position at West Virginia following his one-year stay on the Clemson staff in 2000. But even before settling in at West Virginia, Smith opted to accept a role with USF. Smith’s coaching career began in 1998, when he was the quarterback coach for Urbana (Ohio) University, where he helped with an offense that broke every school passing and total offense record. Over the course of his still brief coaching career, even before joining USF, Smith had coached 20 all-conference players and two All-Americans. He coached an all-conference quarterback in five straight seasons, and ESPN.com named Blackwell the Independent Player of the Year in 2002. A 1997 graduate of Glenville State with a degree in physical education, Smith was the offensive coordinator for Franklin (W.V.) High School between his college graduation and joining Urbana. During his tenure at Franklin, the team went from 3-7 to 7-3. A quarterback himself at Glenville State, Smith earned All-America in 1996, when he was a team captain for the school’s fourth straight conference championship team. His teams reached the national championship playoffs twice, including one runner-up finish. Smith also has a master’s degree in classroom teaching from Urbana University in 2000.

He also coached the kick and punt return teams throughout his four seasons, prior to first joining the USF program in spring 1999. In his first year at USF as a graduate assistant, Antonucci worked primarily with the offensive line and tight ends, but he also assisted with the remainder of the offense. As a player at Wagner, Antonucci started 33 straight games from 1990-92, playing tight end, offensive tackle and offensive guard. He earned a bachelor’s degree in special education in 1993.

Notes USF and Pittsburgh meet for the fourth time with the Bulls trying to end a two-game losing streak against the Panthers … Pitt looks to recover from a sub-par 5-6 season in 2005, a season that came on the heels of the program’s first-ever Bowl Championship Series appearance in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl in 2004 … The Panthers visit to Raymond James Stadium will be the first since clinching their berth to the Fiesta Bowl … Pittsburgh will also face another foe from the state of Florida when it takes on UCF on Oct. 13 in the Florida Citrus Bowl … Leading Pitt this season is two-time All-BIG EAST Conference selection quarterback Tyler Palko … Palko threw for 2,392 yards and 17 touchdowns on 193-of-341 … He connected on 56.5 percent of his passes … Also on the offensive side of the ball the talk, for the Bulls, isn’t necessarily who’s returning, but who’s not … Gone is a major thorn in the side of the Bulls,Tampa native Greg Lee … In two years Lee has caught 11 passes for 159 years and tallied four touchdowns in two games against USF … That includes a three TD and 159-yard, 11-reception effort last year at Heinz Field … Highlighting the Pittsburgh defense is two-time All-BIG EAST first team selection H.B.

Down 17-0 at Penn State just 21 seconds into the second quarter, the USF football team fought back in front of 99,235 fans, but didn’t have enough offensively and eventually fell 23-13 in the 2005 season opener for both teams. It was also USF’s debut as a member of the BIG EAST Conference. USF’s defense showed plenty of promise, holding Penn State to a field goal after Justin King broke a reverse for 61 yards midway through the first quarter. But on the very next series, USF quarterback Courtney Denson, making his first career start, fumbled on a scramble and Penn State’s Alan Zemaitas scooped up the loose ball on the bounce and ran in from 16 yards to put the Nittany Lions ahead 10-0 with 4:05 in the first quarter. Pat Julmiste replaced Denson on the Bulls’ next series and although he would go on to have a solid outing, his first series ended with a deflected interception at the Bulls’ 13-yard line and Penn State made it 17-0 four plays later on a one-yard run from Tony Hunt. Julmiste recovered, and with the USF defense holding strong, he led the Bulls to an 8-play, 55-yard scoring march in just 2:00. It culminated with an eight-yard alley-oop pass to Johnny Peyton to send USF into halftime down 17-7. The defense continued to do its job throughout the third quarter, holding Penn State scoreless, but the USF offense couldn’t punch it in during the quarter either. Penn State’s Hunt broke a 70-yard run in the fourth quarter, setting up a four-yard touchdown run by quarterback Michael Robinson. Jon Simmons blocked the extra point and Penn State led 23-7 with 10:16 remaining. The Bulls bounced right back with an 85-yard drive on their ensuing possession and Julmiste and Peyton hooked up again, this time on a fourth and goal from the four-yard line to cut the margin to 23-13 after USF failed on a two point conversion. With 2:52 left in the game, USF did recover the ensuing onside kick but were ruled to have touched the ball before it reached 10 yards and Penn State was able to run out the clock for the win.

First Quarter

Andre Hall ran for 156 yards and three touchdowns leading USF to a 37-3 rout of Florida A&M. Hall scored on first-half runs of two, two and 31 yards while tying a school record with the seventh 100-yard rushing performance of his career. He went over the century mark early in the second quarter and played sparingly after that, finishing with 18 carries. USF’s defense did its part, too, in helping the Bulls rebound from a season-opening 23-13 loss at Penn State. FAMU was limited to 85 yards total offense in its second game under coach Rubin Carter, the former NFL player and assistant who had been on the job less than two months after replacing Billy Joe, who left behind a program reeling from NCAA violations and a budget crisis. The Rattlers were held without a first down until midway through the third quarter, then benefited from two fourthdown penalties against USF to score its only points on Westly Taylor's 21-yard field goal. Pat Julmiste, starting at quarterback after coming off the bench to throw for 200 yards and two touchdowns against Penn State, completed six of 10 passes for 71 yards before giving way to Courtney Denson in the second quarter. Denson, a transfer from Auburn who started the season opener for the Bulls, threw a 36-yard TD pass to Cedric Hill to make it 37-0 in the third quarter and shared playing time in the second half with third-string freshman Carlton Hill.

First Quarter USF - Hall one-yard run (Bronson kick). Time left: 7:22. Drive: 11 plays, 84 yards, 4:21. (USF 7, UCF 0).

Andre Hall ran for 155 yards and scored two touchdowns to help USF to a 31-14 win in this first-ever matchup between two schools separated by less than 100 miles. The USF victory extended UCF's nation-long losing streak to 17 games, although the Golden Knights would recover and achieve their first-ever bowl bid. But on this day, it was all USF, who jumped to a 21-0 lead by halftime and never felt threatened. Hall scored on a oneyard run and a 26-yard reception and Ricky Ponton added a three-yard run en route to the first half lead. USF would go on to rush for 326 yards, while UCF was held to 45 yards on the ground and just 253 total yards. The Golden Knights did get some solid special teams play, helping set up their first score with 6:44 remaining in the third quarter. Joe Burnett returned a punt 60 yards to the USF four-yard line and quarterback Steven Moffett ran it in on the first play from scrimmage. But USF halted any momentum, scoring just three minutes later when Bulls' quarterback Pat Julmiste answered Moffett's TD with a one-yard run of his own that culminated a nine-play, 80-yard drive. The Bulls then went up 31-7 with 3:17 remaining in the game before UCF scored a second touchdown with under two minutes to play. With USF's ground game providing the bulk of the production, Julmiste still did his part, efficiently completing 10 of 16 passes with one touchdown and no interceptions. Through the first three games of the season, Julmiste was now 37 of 61 (60.7) with just one interception. The game was a success at the box office as well, with what was at the time the second largest crowd ever for a USF game (the largest in Raymond James Stadium).With 45,139 fans on hand, USF had hosted more only in its inaugural game in 1997 when more than 49,000 were in attendance. In the final game of the 2005 season, USF and West Virginia attracted 45,274 fans to push the USF-UCF crowd to third all-time.

First Quarter USF - Hall one-yard run (Bronson kick). Time left: 9:37. Drive: 3 plays, 69 yards, 0:45. (USF 7, Louisville 0).

Receiver Amarri Jackson ran for two touchdowns and threw for a third to lead USF to the biggest victory in the school's brief football history, a 45-14 rout of No. 9 Louisville in the Bulls' BIG EAST debut. After barely playing a role in the offense in his team's first three games, Jackson was Mr.Versatile in helping USF beat a ranked opponent for the first time in six tries and stop the nation's third-longest Division I-A winning streak at nine games. Louisville had not lost since a 41-38 setback at Miami Oct. 14, 2004.The Cardinals entered the conference opener with one of the country's most prolific offenses, but never fully got on track in losing to USF on the road for the second time in three years. USF, which is in its ninth season, also upset Louisville two years ago in the Bulls' Conference USA debut.The Bulls and Cardinals left C-USA for the higher profile BIG EAST after last season. Jackson, who had two receptions for 15 yards in USF’s first three games, set up Andre Hall's one-yard, first-quarter TD run with a 57-yard catch-and-run on the Bulls' second offensive play. The six-foot-five receiver scored on a 51-yard reverse up the right side of the field to make it 14-0, then circled left end on a 12-yard reverse for a 21-0 lead midway through the second quarter. Three minutes after USF’s Chad Simpson returned the second-half kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown, Jackson struck again when took a handoff from quarterback Pat Julmiste and tossed an 11-yard scoring pass to Derek Carter to put the Bulls ahead 38-7. Jackson finished with 63 yards rushing on two carries and two receptions for 75 yards. Hall, who added a 3-yard TD run in the fourth quarter, gained 83 rushing on 22 attempts, while Julmiste was 4-for-9 for 93 yards passing. Michael Bush scored both of Louisville's touchdowns on 1-yard runs.

Tyrone Moss matched a career-high with three touchdowns and No. 9 Miami ended USF's hopes of springing a second straight upset with a sloppy 27-7 win. Moss ran for 89 yards and had scoring runs of one and 19 yards in the first quarter, when Miami took advantage of three USF turnovers to build an early 17-0 lead. Miami scored on four of its first five possessions, then didn't add to the total until Moss' one-yard, fourth-down plunge with 8:25 left. USF avoided the shutout - which would have been the first in its 93-game history - with 5:56 left, when Johnny Peyton caught a 14-yard touchdown pass from Pat Julmiste . The teams combined for nine turnovers, with USF having all five of its giveaways before halftime. The Bulls finished with 174 total yards, more than half of them in the fourth quarter with the outcome long decided. Andre Hall, who came in averaging 117 yards per game and cracked the 138-yard plateau in six of his previous nine starts, managed 53 yards on 19 carries.Amarri Jackson, who ran for two scores and threw for another against Louisville, was a non-factor and finished with only seven yards receiving. Kyle Wright completed 13 of 26 for 173 yards for the Hurricanes. Lovon Ponder had two of Miami's four interceptions, with Devin Hester and Brandon Meriweather each picking off a pass. Julmiste completed eight of 25 passes for 47 yards and three interceptions for USF. Late in the first quarter,Wright fumbled a snap on second-and-goal from the Bulls' seven, and USF recovered.And midway through the second,Wright hooked up with tight end Greg Olsen for a 63-yard catch-and-run play, but USF cornerback Mike Jenkins made a touchdown-saving play. Jenkins - one of five Bulls chasing Olsen, who was sprinting down the center of the field - punched the ball from Olsen's arm at the six, and it bounced out of the end zone for a touchback.

For the second-straight contest early turnovers proved to be too much for the USF football team to overcome, this time resulting in a 31-17 loss at Pittsburgh in league action on the road. Pitt, winning consecutive games for the first time under Dave Wannstedt, fell behind 10-0 in the first quarter following a blocked punt and a fumble by Tyler Palko, only to surge back with three touchdowns in a six-minute span in the second quarter. Palko, who threw for 411 yards and five touchdowns in a 43-14 win over USF in Tampa last season, found Greg Lee on a 69-yard scoring pass play on the opening play of the second quarter, then hit Lee again for 41 yards to the Bulls' three following a Darrelle Revis fumble recovery. Palko then threw a three-yard scoring pass to fullback Tim Murphy to make it 14-10. Another USF fumble, this one by quarterback Pat Julmiste, was recovered by J.J. Horne and returned eight yards to the Bulls 12, and Palko later ran it in from a yard out to put the Panthers up 21-10 with nearly nine minutes left in the second quarter. USF got back to 21-17 on a Jumiste-to-Andre Hall scoring pass play of 76 yards, but another fumble by a Bulls quarterback, this time by backup Courtney Denson, was returned by Bernard "Josh" Lay to the Bulls eight. Palko then found tight end Darrell Strong on an eight-yard TD pass late in the third quarter. Hall, the BIG EAST's leading rusher coming into the game with 519 yards in five games, had a combined 210 yards with 19 carries for 79 yards and a game-high 131 yards on seven receptions. But his big game couldn't prevent USF's second loss in a row since the Bulls upset then-No. 9 Louisville 45-14 on Sept. 24. Freshman LaRod Stephens-Howling led Pitt with 91 yards on 14 carries, with most of his yardage coming in the second half as the Panthers mostly kept the ball on the ground to preserve their lead. The game was USF's first in Pittsburgh since Sept. 8, 2001, when a neophyte Bulls program scored its first victory over an established Division I-A team by surprising Pitt 35-26, one of the biggest upset losses in Pitt history.

Andre Hall ran for 168 yards and three touchdowns and USF scored 28 points off six Rutgers' turnovers on the way to a 45-31 win over the Scarlet Knights, the Bulls' first game in 21 days. Despite two defensive scores in the span of 1:26 in the first quarter and a 20-point lead late in the third, USF needed to hold off the Scarlet Knights at the end. Down 37-17 late in the third quarter, Rutgers came back to make it 37-31 after a one-yard touchdown run by Brian Leonard and a four-yard scoring catch by Clark Harris.The Scarlet Knights got the ball back with 11:47 left in the game, but a fumble by quarterback Ryan Hart ended the drive. Coming into the game, Rutgers had lost one fumble all season. Rutgers got another chance with 6:39 left after blocking a 22-yard field goal attempt by Kyle Bronson. But USF cornerback Mike Jenkins intercepted a pass from Mike Teel, who replaced a shaken-up Hart. USF corner Trae Williams intercepted another Rutgers pass on the Scarlet Knights' final possession of the game before the Bulls kneeled down for three plays to end the game. The Bulls took control late in the opening quarter when Johnnie Jones picked off Hart and returned the interception 32 yards to make it 14-0. USF needed just 86 seconds to go up by three scores.This time, Hart fumbled after being hit by defensive end Jason Allen.Terrence Royal scooped up the ball and returned it 11 yards for a touchdown. Royal also set up a later two-yard touchdown run by Hall by picking off a tipped pass from Hart. USF quarterback Pat Julmiste was 13-for-21 for 135 yards and ran for a one-yard score. Hall's 35 carries were a career-high and he also eclipsed the 2,000-yard career rushing mark in his 18th game at USF. Additionally, he became the school's all-time leader in total touchdowns with 23 and he tied for the career lead (with Marquel Blackwell) in rushing TDs with 20. The Bulls looked rested when the game began.After forcing the Scarlet Knights to go three and out on the game's first drive, USF went 83 yards in 10 plays, taking a 7-0 lead when Hall went in from two yards out. The two defensive scores then put the Bulls up 21-0. USF’s defense forced a total of six turnovers with four interceptions and two fumble recoveries.

Running back Andre Hall rushed for 222 yards and three touchdowns, and USF beat Syracuse 27-0 to remain in the hunt for a BCS bowl bid. It was the seventh straight loss for Syracuse. The first play of the game from scrimmage set the tone for the day. Hall, who had 24 carries, weaved his way up the middle of the Syracuse defense for 38 yards, breaking two tackles and causing two more defenders to miss. The Orange defense then stiffened, and Kyle Bronson kicked a 29-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead. Joe Fields, making his second straight start at quarterback for Syracuse, was intercepted on his first pass of the game by Johnnie Jones near midfield, and the Bulls quickly struck again. Pat Julmiste rolled right on the next play and hit Marcus Edwards in stride and between two defenders for 48 yards to set up Hall's four-yard scoring run, which gave the Bulls a 10-0 lead midway through the first quarter. Syracuse, who came into the game ranked 114th in total offense out of the 117 teams in Division I-A, punted four times and threw two interceptions on its first six possessions, gaining just one first down in the opening quarter. The Orange seemed poised to break through in the second after a punt and two penalties pinned the Bulls at their own seven.That all changed when Hall broke a 34-yard run on a second-and-24 play and tacked on runs of 22 and 10 yards to help set up Bronson's 22-yard field goal, giving USF a 13-0 halftime lead. Hall reeled off a 38-yard run early in the third period to become USF's all-time leading rusher, surpassing Rafael Williams' five-year-old record of 2,253 yards. Hall, a junior college transfer, has 2,345 yards in his brief career. Hall scored on a 33-yard run midway through the third. It was his 13th touchdown of the season, a school record, and he added another on a one-yard run with 4:22 remaining in the game to cap an 11-play, 80-yard drive.

Surprising USF remained in contention for a BCS bowl berth pulling away in the second half to beat Cincinnati 31-16 for the Bulls' third straight BIG EAST win. Conference rushing leader Andre Hall went over 1,000 yards for the season and scored his 15th touchdown, and USF forced two third-quarter turnovers to transform a close game into a rout. In addition to becoming bowl eligible with its sixth victory, USF stayed on course for a possible showdown with No. 13 West Virginia for the BIG EAST's automatic spot in the lucrative Bowl Championship Series. D'Juan Brown returned an interception 26 yards for a TD that made it 17-7 midway through the third quarter. Four minutes later, Cincinnati quarterback Dustin Grutza fumbled at his own 22 to leave the Bulls in position to take a commanding lead. Receiver Amarri Jackson, the star of the 45-14 upset of Louisville that opened BCS possibilities for the Bulls in September, scored on the next play after mishandling a handoff on a reverse. Jackson picked up the ball on the bounce and headed around right end before cutting back to the left and weaving his way through the Cincinnati defense for his third rushing TD of the season. The 6-foot-5 sophomore ran for two touchdowns and threw for a third in USF's defeat of then-No. 9 Louisville. A week after rushing for 222 yards and three TDs in a 27-0 shutout at Syracuse, Hall ran for 101 on 29 carries against Cincinnati. Pat Julmiste put USF up 31-7 with a one-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter, but Bulls couldn't get into the end zone again. Grutza completed 19 of 30 passes for 240 yards for Cincinnati, including TD throws of 25 yards to Dominick Goodman and six yards to Butler Benton.The Bearcats outgained the Bulls 366 yards to 345.

The USF football team lost its chance to play for a BIG EAST Conference title following the team's 15-10 league setback at Connecticut. UConn's Lou Allen rushed for a career-high 101 yards and a touchdown, Darius Butler returned a kickoff 90 yards for a score and the Huskies' defense did the rest.The Huskies scored all its points in the first half then held the Bulls' vaunted rushing attack to 83 yards. The Bulls were averaging 229.8 yards rushing a game, the second-best in the league, and needed a win to force a title game with West Virginia the following week in Tampa. The Huskies held Andre Hall, the league's rushing leader, to 93 yards, forcing the Bulls to find other options. Instead, the Bulls fumbled the ball away twice, quarterback Pat Julmiste was picked off three times and an apparent 75-yard TD reception to Jackie Chambers was nullified by a penalty. Connecticut scored on its third play from scrimmage when Allen broke free up the middle for a 60-yard score. It was the longest run of the season for the Huskies. UConn's defense, which held USF to just 50 yards rushing in the first half, set up the next score. James Hargrave sacked Julmiste for a 13-yard loss, pushing the Bulls back to their own five. Julmiste fielded a high snap on the next play and came down in the end zone for a safety and 9-0 lead. The Huskies held Hall to 61 yards in the first half. Most of that came on a 36-yard rush that helped set up the Bulls' only touchdown. Julmiste capped an 11-play drive with a 31-yard TD pass to S.J. Green and UConn's lead was cut to 9-7. UConn answered right back. Butler returned the ensuing kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown and the Huskies held on for a 15-7 lead at the half. USF threatened midway through the fourth quarter when Amarri Jackson returned a punt 37 yards to the UConn nine. But after a sack, a false start and a batted-down pass, the Bulls' had a fourth-and-seven on the six and opted to go for it. The Huskies sniffed out a throwback to Julmiste and tackled Courtney Denson for a 13-yard loss. UConn had to punt on their next possession and the Bulls' took over on the Huskies’ 44 with under three minutes to play. UConn killed the drive on the very next play when Tyvon Branch intercepted Julmiste in the end zone. Julmiste completed 10 of 26 passes for 168 yards. UConn's Matt Bonislawski was 8-of-26 for 81 yards, but it was his 16-yard run for a first down in the final minute that helped the Huskies seal the win.

Pat White ran for 177 yards and two touchdowns, leading West Virginia to a 28-13 victory over USF. Steve Slaton rushed for 89 yards and one TD for the Mountaineers, and West Virginia's defense limited BIG EAST rushing leader Andre Hall to 75 yards on 20 carries for USF. West Virginia set the tone by driving 66 yards on 12 rushing plays to take a 7-0 lead on Slaton's 16th touchdown (14th rushing) in the freshman's last six games. White put the Mountaineers up 14-3 with a seven-yard TD pass to Darius Reynaud, then answered a USF field goal with his 65-yard run on West Virginia's first offensive play of the third quarter. His 76-yarder made it 28-6 early in the fourth quarter. USF had lots of success moving the ball against the BIG EAST's top-ranked defense. However, the Bulls stalled both times they drove inside the West Virginia 5 and settled for two short field goals by Kyle Bronson. The Bulls finally got in the end zone with 1:20 left in the game, scoring on an 11-yard run by backup quarterback Carlton Hill. Even with the loss, USF accepted its first-ever bowl bid to the Meineke Car Care Bowl following the game.

Using stout defense and just enough offense to get the job done, North Carolina State capped its late-season rally with a 14-0 win over USF in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. Brian Clark caught a nine-yard touchdown pass and Andre Brown scored on a 1-yard run to lead the Wolfpack, who rallied from a 2-4 start to the season to close the year with three consecutive wins. It was a tough end for USF, which was playing in its first bowl in school history.The Bulls launched their program nine years ago, moved up to Division I-A in 2001 and capped their first season in the BIG EAST with a bowl bid. But their 100th game ended in the first shutout in school history as the Bulls managed 295 yards total offense and failed to get Andre Hall -- the BIG EAST's leading rusher -- into the end zone. Hall accounted for most of the offense, finishing with 118 yards rushing and two catches for 49 yards. Toney Baker set up the first score with runs of 22 and 14 yards, allowing Marcus Stone to find Clark in the end zone. The Wolfpack actually ran the same play twice, with Clark making the first catch out of bounds before grabbing it the second time for the score. Baker used several short runs to set up the second score, then gave way to Brown for the touchdown. Baker finished with 93 yards rushing on 22 carries, while Brown had 51 yards on 12 carries. USF spent the entire game just trying to get into the end zone, and had a great chance when Hall broke free for a 41yard gain to put the Bulls in decent scoring range at the N.C. State 17. But a run by Ricky Ponton, followed by two incompletions ended the threat when Garland Heath intercepted Pat Julmiste in the end zone. USF got a break, however, when the Wolfpack fumbled it back to the Bulls on the next possession - only to see Hill give it away again on the very next play. In the end, only two things worked for the Bulls: Putting the ball in Hall's hands, and a fake punt late in the fourth quarter that went for a 31-yard gain when holder Brandon Baker connected with S.J. Green. But that never led to a score as USF gained only one yard on four tries.

AfricanAmerican, Hispanic and students from other minority groups comprise 29 percent of the student body. USF students are taught by highly regarded faculty who came to USF from many of the world’s leading universities and research institutions.

T H E U N I V E R S I T Y

Top Research University The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching recently released an extensive revision to how it classifies American colleges and universities and has placed USF in its highest classification level, which is Research University with Very High Research Activity. Of the 4,321 colleges and universities classified, USF is one of only 63 public universities in the highest tier. Inclusion at this level affirms USF’s position among the top research universities in the nation.The National Science Foundation ranks USF 66th in Research & Development expenditures with $213 million in total research expenditures in 2003. At the center of the Tampa Bay region’s medical, biotechnology and bioscience research, USF has become a major player in the highly competitive research arena. USF’s internationally renowned researchers are making radical breakthrough in marine science, medicine, engineering and social research.Work in counter-terrorism and biological defense, optical sensors, immunology, Alzheimer’s and other neurological disorders, aging studies, laser technology and alternative fuels has gained national and international recognition.

100

ing facilities, opening new opportunities for conferences and collaborative activities.

released the findings of an economic impact study.The results reported that USF makes a $3.2 billion annual economic impact on the regional economy of Tampa Bay through direct and indirect spending of payroll, student tuition, student expenses, construction and research.This study demonstrated how an initial investment of $50,000 from the Legislature and the Tampa community to found the university 50 years ago is today paying powerful dividends to the entire Tampa Bay region – with ambition to reach across the state and around the world.

Top-Notch Facilities USF boasts modern science and engineering labs, a communications building with a full range of broadcast facilities, on-campus public television and radio stations, foreign language listening labs, fine art studios and display spaces, photo darkrooms, education teaching labs, and even an on-campus elementary school.

TAMPA BAY evenings,Ybor City won’t disappoint you. And if you’ve never thought about Tampa Bay as a place where the arts flourish, think again. Our museums draw acclaim from visitors and critics alike. We enjoy a renowned symphony orchestra, an exciting theater scene and cultural performances in state of the art venues. Those venues including the University of South Florida’s own Sun Dome also play host to most every national touring musical act. Weekends are never dull here. In addition to cultural events, the area offers theme parks such as Busch Gardens and Adventure Island, professional sports, boating, year-round golf and places where families can escape to marvel at Florida’s natural majesty. Yes, the sun does shine on us an average of 240 days a year, but that’s only part of the picture. Just take a more in depth look at the many items that make Tampa Bay an ideal place to call home.

It serves as a vacation getaway to 30 million people a year, but to us it’s home. And what a great place it is. We revel in the kiss of the sun, the caress of the breeze and the sparkle of the turquoise water all around us. Sometimes at the end of a long winter weekend, we call our friends, who are buried under a blanket of snow, and tell them how we spent our day. Playing golf in short sleeves. Riding in a boat. Working on the lawn. At times the temptation to rub it in wears down even the best of us. However, the Tampa Bay area offers much more than just nice weather. Over two million residents would agree it’s a great place to work, to recreate, to grow a business, to raise a family and to live. Ideally located on Florida’s beautiful Gulf of Mexico coast, the Tampa Bay region provides easy access to Gulf beaches and surrounding areas. The area’s central location also provides access to other Florida treasures perfect for day trips including Orlando, Daytona and Miami. The Bay Area is a vibrant multi-cultural community. It’s such a hotbed of diversity that the U.S. Census Bureau named the area one of the five most diverse, integrated urban areas in the country. This diverse mix of homes and cultures add to the area’s high quality of life. Newcomers will find stately charm among the older neighborhoods of South Tampa or innovative planning and amenities in the northern communities of Carrolwood and New Tampa. East of the county, the country flavor of Plant City; to the west and south, the beauty of the Pinellas County and Sarasota/Bradenton beaches. Just east of downtown Tampa,Ybor City, one of only three Florida National Historic Districts, mixes the past with the present. The area, which was famous for its flourishing cigar industry during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is now famous for its rich culture and exciting nightlife. Centro Ybor, a former cigar factory itself, is now a popular spot for shopping and dining. Ybor City also offers art studios and Spanish-Cuban ethnic restaurants with a true taste of the local cuisine. But the fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. At night,Ybor City comes alive with nightclubs showcasing the blues, jazz and rock. The area becomes a street party as music flows into the streets from local clubs. For those who enjoy somewhat quieter nights, Centro Ybor, at the heart of the city, offers a more family type atmosphere with shops, restaurants and a movie theater. No matter how you like to spend your

participants alike,Tampa Bay’s mild climate and first-rate facilities allow its residents and visitors to enjoy any number of sporting activities virtually year-round. Spoiled by an annual average of 240 days of sunshine and a mean temperature that even in January hovers around 60 degrees,Tampa residents pursue recreation and fitness opportunities with great enthusiasm. They go fishing, play tennis, jog, rollerblade, ride bicycles…. the list is endless. There are countless ways to get exercise, but shoveling snow isn’t one of them. The Tampa Bay area offers beautiful parks and recreation facilities that allow visitors and residents to enjoy any outdoor activity they choose from a scenic canoe ride down the charming Hillsborough River to a family football or softball game at any one of the area’s neighborhood parks. For those who just like to sit back and watch the excitement, the historic Tampa Bay Downs is a perfect place to spend the day. Visitors can enjoy a day of thoroughbred racing and try their luck by wagering on their favorite horses. And residents can always watch the pros. Whether it’s the 2003 Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the 2004 Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning or the Tampa Bay Devil Rays of Major League Baseball,Tampa Bay fans can enjoy professional sports year-round. Other pro teams include the five-time Arena Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Storm and an abundance of Major League Baseball teams in Spring Training, including the New York Yankees, just a long home run away from Raymond James Stadium. The facilities for these franchises are as first class as the many fans that attend the various events. So much so,Tampa Bay is among only a handful of cities nationally to attract a Super Bowl, Final Four and NHL All-Star-Game. Tampa Bay hosted its third Super Bowl in 2001, and will host its fourth in 2009 at Raymond James Stadium. The University of South Florida is serving as the host institution for the 2008 NCAA Men’s Basketball 1st and 2nd Rounds, the 2008 NCAA Women’s Basketball Final Four, and the 2009 NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship. The Tampa Bay Lightning’s home - the St. Pete Times Forum – will also host the 2007 ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament, the 2009 SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament, and the 2012 NCAA Frozen Four.

DOUG WOOLARD DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

T H E U N I V E R S I T Y

In just under two years at the University of South Florida, Doug Woolard has inspired and led a number of initiatives that have allowed the Bulls’ program to make a successful transition into the prestigious BIG EAST Conference. Although USF had already accepted a bid to join the BIG EAST when Woolard assumed command in May 2004, his tireless work to set a strong foundation at the outset has not gone unnoticed. The BIG EAST places the Bulls in an elite neighborhood of programs, but Woolard set a goal upon his hiring to make USF the best program in the conference.To do that, he has stressed the importance of a strong partnership between staff, student-athletes and community. Since May 2004,Woolard has led a successful effort to earmark a new “athletics footprint” on campus that will allow the program to initiate efforts to build new facilities in a core area on campus. As fundraising allows,Woolard will lead the staff in improving facilities for baseball, basketball, softball, soccer and tennis. Already, USF has added nearly $2 million in video scoreboards to the Sun Dome, USF’s basketball arena, and Woolard has a progressive plan to refit the entire seating configuration in the arena. Woolard has also been proactive in retaining successful coaches, having negotiated new contracts with Jim Leavitt (football), Ken Eriksen (softball) and Jose Fernandez (women’s basketball). Leavitt remains the only football coach USF has ever had and he led the program to a bowl game in 2005 in what was only the ninth season of competition. Eriksen has annually led his softball program into postseason competition and was an assistant coach for the 2004 USA Olympic Team. Fernandez has led the women’s basketball program to postseason play in each of the past three years – the only such appearances in the program’s history. Expanded television and radio coverage for USF programs has also been a key initiative for Woolard. In 2005, he helped complete an agreement that allows for the most electronic media exposure in school history. In addition to USF’s football and men’s basketball programs upgrading to more powerful stations, every USF women’s basketball game is now being aired on the radio for the first time ever. Opportunities will also exist for USF’s baseball and softball programs, in addition to volleyball.There is also more television exposure through re-broadcast opportunities for all of USF’s athletic teams on Bright House Networks in Tampa Bay. In 2004 - his first year at USF and the Bulls’

THE BULLS CLUB In 2005 the Iron Bulls program was established for donors who make an extraordinary annual commitment to the green and gold. Iron Bulls make unrestricted annual gifts of at least $10,000, and are recognized as leaders helping USF compete for championships at the highest levels.

The Bulls Club is charged with advancing the USF Athletics program through private philanthropic support. As we enter our second year of BIG EAST competition, the Bulls Club is larger and stronger than ever, and its members have been the backbone of the program’s incredible growth. These fans, friends, and alumni provide the needed resources so our student-athletes and coaches can write the next chapter in Bulls history.

The primary capital and endowment goals for the Bulls Club over the next five years will focus on the Athletics District Master Plan and growing the scholarship endowment. The Athletics District Master Plan, which includes new practice and competition facilities for football, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis, softball, baseball, and men’s and women’s track and field, is expected to cost upwards of $50 million.

As investors in one of the fastest growing intercollegiate athletic programs in the country, donors are recognized for their critical role in advancing USF athletics and receive special consideration for priority seating and parking at USF competitions, invitations to special events, and other benefits. The levels of support from fans, friends, and alumni have continued to increase as the level of competiThe Athletics District Master Plan tion USF faces on the field becomes more challenging.

BIG EAST CONFERENCE

T H E U N I V E R S I T Y

112

The 2005 season began a new era of BIG EAST Conference football as the University of Cincinnati, University of Louisville and University of South Florida joined Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse and West Virginia to give the league an expanded gridiron presence that now ranges as far south at Tampa, Fla. and as far west as Louisville, Ky. The league that quickly established itself as a national force after its inception in 1991, continued its success a season ago as four schools earned trips to bowl games. West Virginia (11-1, 7-0 BIG EAST) finished the regular season unbeaten in Michael A. Tranghese league play for the first time since Commissioner 1993 to win the 2005 BIG EAST Conference title. Earning the BIG EAST’s automatic Bowl Championship Series bid,West Virginia represented the conference in the 2006 Nokia Sugar Bowl in Atlanta. The Mountaineers defeated Georgia, 38-35, to finish the year fifth in the final Associated Press Top 25 Poll and sixth in the final USA Today Poll. Louisville was ranked 19th and 20th, respectively, in the final AP and USA Today polls. Over the last five seasons, the BIG EAST has compiled one of the best winning percentages of any BCS conference in bowl games. BIG EAST Conference teams are 16-13 in postseason play since 2000. The BIG EAST has been a frequent contender for the national championship. Eight times in the league’s 15 seasons a BIG EAST squad has been in a bowl game, playing for a claim to the national crown. The BIG EAST has always been proud of its football student-athletes for their academic achievements. In 2005, West Virginia’s Jay Henry was named an ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America First Team performer as selected by CoSIDA. In addition, seven league players earned Academic All-District honors. Henry and teammates Dan Mozes and Gavin Justice, as well as Connecticut’s Rhema Fuller and Rutgers’ Brian Leonard and Ryan Neill earned first team accolades. Louisville’s Brian Brohm and Cincinnati’s Earnest Jackson garnered second team honors. Since its birth, the BIG EAST has been a national power, both on and off the field. Commissioner Michael Tranghese served as coordinator of the BCS for two years from 2002-03. He has spearheaded the development of BIG EAST football since its beginning. The BIG EAST Conference’s entrance into football was announced on February 5, 1991. The league gained instant notice and credibility with its level of excellence on the field and with its television and bowl relationships. The BIG EAST has been a charter member of each of the major bowl agreements with the major conferences, beginning with The Bowl Coalition in 1992 followed by The Bowl Alliance in `95. The Bowl Championship Series began in `98. Recently, it was announced that the BIG EAST will continue as an automatic qualifier in the new BCS agreement that will begin in 2006. Extensive television exposure and the BIG EAST have been synonymous terms. For

football, the league established its own regional television package in 1991 before it had played a game. The BIG EAST Television Network immediately was the largest regional college football network in the country. The BIG EAST has television agreements with ABC and ESPN that run through the 2007 season. Both agreements ensure that ABC or ESPN telecasts a BIG EAST game virtually every week of the year. ESPN Regional Television owns broadcasting rights for all telecasts not assigned to ABC or ESPN. ERT, which took over for the BIG EAST Network in 1996, produces and distributes additional games, including a BIG EAST Game of the Week, through syndication, local markets and payper-view. The BIG EAST has always aligned itself with prestigious bowl games. The league champion plays in the Tostitos Fiesta, FedEx Orange, Allstate Sugar or Rose Bowls as part of its membership in the Bowl Championship Series. In a first-of-its-kind collaboration among Division I conferences and football bowl partners, the BIG EAST and Big 12 Conferences — along with the University of Notre Dame — have together forged a bowl partnership beginning in 2006 that will assure both BCS Conferences’ and Notre Dame’s participation in the Toyota Gator Bowl and Vitalis Sun Bowl over a four-year period. In years when selecting a BIG EAST team, the Toyota Gator Bowl or Vitalis Sun Bowl will have the first pick after the BIG EAST’s representative to the Bowl Championship Series has been determined.The Atlantic Coast Conference will provide the opposition in the Toyota Gator Bowl and the Pac-10 Conference will participate in the Vitalis Sun Bowl. The Meineke Car Care Bowl is now in its fifth year with the BIG EAST Conference. The Meineke Car Care Bowl, which is played in Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., will pick after the Toyota Gator Bowl or Vitalis Sun Bowl. If Navy is bowl eligible in 2006, the Midshipmen will receive the bid to the Meineke Car Care Bowl. In November, the BIG EAST entered into a four-year agreement to participate in the Houston Bowl and will meet an opponent from the Big 12 Conference beginning in the 2006 season. On April 27, the NCAA Bowl Certification Committee gave the Houston Bowl a 60-day extension before making a decision on certification. The Houston Bowl is played at the state-of-the-art Reliant Stadium in Houston,Texas. The BIG EAST Conference has also aligned itself with two new bowls – the International Bowl in Toronto, Ontario, and the Birmingham Bowl in Birmingham,Ala.The two bowls were approved by the NCAA Bowl Certification Committee on April 27. The new agreements currently give the BIG EAST a total of six bowl deals. In the International Bowl, the BIG EAST will meet a team from the Mid-American Conference.

USF AND THE NFL NFL Director of Operations Gene Washington took to the podium Sunday April 22 to open Day 2 of the 2001 Draft and gave the entire “NFL Nation” a quick study in just how far the University of South Florida football program had progressed since its start-up in 1996.

USF BULLS & THE NFL Player Ryan Benjamin

Just after 11 a.m.,Washington announced that the New England Patriots had traded to acquire the first pick of the fourth round, and with that pick, the Patriots made USF offensive tackle Kenyatta Jones the answer to what will remain among the top trivia questions in USF history.The Patriots made Jones the first NFL draft choice ever from USF.

But Washington wasn’t done with the study in USF success. He quickly stepped back to the podium and announced,“with the second pick of the fourth round, the Cleveland Browns select defensive back Anthony Henry, also from the University of South Florida.”

Soon after Henry’s selection, even Washington was wondering about this South Florida program.When he took to the podium to announce the third pick of the fourth round, he seemed almost mystified when he announced,“this must be some kind of record... “With the third pick of the fourth round, the Arizona Cardinals select placekicker Bill Gramatica, from the University of South Florida.” One, two, three...an official run on USF Bulls in the NFL Draft. Watching the television in his Tampa home, USF head coach Jim Leavitt literally ran circles through the house in sheer excitement. “I’m going crazy,” Leavitt admitted seconds after Gramatica was selected. “I just can’t stand it. I’m so excited. I’m so excited.” For Leavitt, his staff and the players who have come through his program since 1996, the excitement of the NFL Draft and ensuing free agent signings continues to show how quickly USF football has climbed into BCS status, Perhaps Shawn Hay, an original member of the program and one of just three Bulls to play in each of the 44 games through the program’s first four years sums up the progress best. “This just shows how far USF has come,” he said upon signing with the San Francisco 49ers in 2001 before playing in NFL Europe in 2002.“This has opened some eyes and put us on the map.

“Just think, (in 1997) we were nervous to be playing against Kentucky Wesleyan (in the program’s first-ever game). Now we’re at this point. It’s mind boggling.” In 2003, minds had more to digest as three more USF players ñ Kawika Mitchell (Kansas City Chiefs), Shurron Pierson (Oakland Raiders) and DeAndrew Rubin (Green Bay Packers) - were drafted. Mitchell, a linebacker, was taken in the second round, making him the highest-ever draft choice from USF. And in 2004, J.R. was a fourth round pick by Philadelphia and became the fourth USF player to be on a Super Bowl roster, along with Kenyatta Jones and Scott McCready (New England) and Ryan Benjamin (Tampa Bay).
