ORLANDO — There’s no reason to write a game story about USF’s latest embarrassment. You either saw it — whether in person or on TV — or you knew better and stayed as far away as possible. The most damning visual in Friday’s 34-7 loss to UCF at Spectrum Stadium […]
USF’s quarterbacks took a beating Saturday against SMU. Freshman Jordan McCloud was pulled at halftime due to a wrist injury. Meanwhile, senior Blake Barnett, who came in for McCloud, hobbled off the field at the end of the game after taking some hard hits, including what appeared to be a […]
If a team ever has to play a hot offense, it may as well be when the defense is playing well. USF (1-2) faces the task of stopping the No. 17 offense in FBS when it faces SMU (4-0) to open AAC play at Raymond James Stadium on Saturday at […]
Following last week’s 14-10 defeat against Georgia Tech, USF senior safety Devin Studstill said that the team was “cooking with gasoline” and was looking for a spark. The Bulls’ win over South Carolina State on Saturday might have been the spark they needed. After eight straight defeats and one quarterback […]
After two losses, USF (0-2) will be looking for its first win of the season Saturday at Raymond James Stadium against South Carolina State. Although the Bulldogs (2-0) are an FCS team, they shouldn’t be underestimated. South Carolina State has two sizable wins under its belt — a 28-13 win […]
Call it a quarterback competition, call it a quarterback controversy — call it whatever you want, really. The only certainty about who will line up under center for USF on Saturday against South Carolina State is this: It’ll either be Blake Barnett or Jordan McCloud. “We’re giving them both the […]
ATLANTA — It was so close you could practically hear Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” playing during USF’s 14-10 loss Saturday against Georgia Tech at Bobby Dodd Stadium. “Knock, knock, knockin’ on Heaven’s door.” Although in this case, “Heaven” was Georgia Tech’s end zone. With the Yellow Jackets (1-1, […]
It’s fair to wonder how USF football (0-1) will respond against Georgia Tech (0-1) on Saturday, especially considering it’s coming off the largest defeat in program history — a 49-0 loss against then-No. 19 Wisconsin. For their part, the Bulls seem to be in good spirits. “It’s tough to get […]
The night started bad — there was an almost hour-long weather delay before the game kicked off. Then, once the game actually began, it got worse — the Bulls were down before they even had a chance to touch the ball. Then it got historically worse. That more or less […]
It might be fair to say USF’s offense wasn’t persistent enough when it had the football last season. After all, the Bulls finished seventh in the 12-team AAC and 69th in the 130-team FBS in total offense. Fortunately, USF’s new offensive coordinator has been persistent his entire career. Meet Kerwin […]
