Kelly: ‘What I am most committed to is someone that embraces the USF football opportunity’
Nothing too concrete was said Monday by USF Vice President of Athletics Michael Kelly in terms of who will replace former football coach Charlie Strong, who was dismissed Sunday. In fact, the only thing for certain is that USF will not use a search firm. “Michael Kelly and associates will […]
OPINION: There is no reason to keep Charlie Strong in 2020
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 […]
Bulls fall to Memphis; fail to reach bowl eligibility for first time in 5 years
It seemed statistically improbable that USF could top No. 18 Memphis. On Senior Day, however, one might’ve thought the Bulls could work magic and steal a win. But that wasn’t in the cards for the Bulls (4-7, 2-5), as they failed to carry early momentum and were outplayed by the […]
Bulls looking to keep up with a strong offense
USF has two games left in the regular season — and the 2019 season as a whole if it fails to win those two contests. The Bulls (4-6, 2-4) play No. 18 Memphis (9-1, 5-1) on Saturday at Raymond James Stadium (4 p.m. | TV: ESPNU | Radio: WDAE-AM 620), […]
NOTEBOOK: War on I-4 set for prime-time kickoff; AAC announces future schedules
The War on I-4 is set for prime time. USF and UCF will kick off from Spectrum Stadium on Nov. 29 at 8 p.m. in a game set to air nationally on ESPN, the AAC announced Monday. The game will be the 11th installment of the rivalry, which USF holds […]
Cincinnati 20-USF 17: Postgame takeaways
This was a game that looked nearly impossible on paper. One of the best teams in the AAC was going up against an underperforming USF offense. It had the predetermined signs of a blowout. But it wasn’t, as USF gave No. 17 Cincinnati a scare in what was ultimately a […]
Last-second field goal sinks Bulls against Cincinnati
Some losses are harder to swallow than others. USF’s 20-17 loss to No. 17 Cincinnati on Saturday night at Raymond James Stadium might be downright impossible for the Bulls (4-6, 2-4) to stomach. With the score tied at 17 with just over two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, an […]
Bulls’ offense gets set for showdown with Cincinnati
It’s safe to say USF’s offense hasn’t been what it set out to be at the beginning of the season. The promise of an offense reborn under first-year coordinator Kerwin Bell is a distant echo. Now, in the heart of a November gauntlet, the Bulls are second-to-last in total offense […]
NOTEBOOK: USF hosts Saint Leo in open-door exhibition
The first opportunity to see USF men’s basketball at the Yuengling Center since Game 1 of the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) final back in April comes Tuesday night. USF faces Division II Saint Leo in an open-door exhibition in an effective dress rehearsal for the Bulls’ season opener against Arkansas […]
