UUSSFF:: 1100--5500It’s sometimes easy to think USF Football has been around forever

considering the many accomplishments the program has built up. Butthe football program has actually gone from non-existence to the BIGEAST Conference and BCS foot-ball, as well as a Bowl appearance, injust one decade.

As the football program cele-brates its 10th season in 2006, itdoes so in unison with theUniversity’s 50th anniversary. Justlike the momentum built by footballin a quick 10 years, the Universityhas impressed with its rapid growthin what amounts to a very brief his-tory in comparison to most universities throughout the nation.

While the USF football team is a member of an elite BCSConference, the University is one of just 63 public universities (among4,321) in the highest tier in rankings by The Carnegie Foundation forthe Advancement of Teaching.The Carnegie Foundation has estab-lished USF as a Research University with Very High ResearchActivity.

Named as one of the two fastest growing research universities inthe United States by the NationalScience Foundation, USF researchers

have been awarded more than $290million in funding in the past year.The university is a national leader inresearch into the causes and treat-

ments of Alzheimer’s disease as well asin the fields of search-and-rescue robotics and

biodefense. USF’s sponsored research has climbedfrom $103 in 1995-1996, which was the year prior to the arrival offootball at USF.

In addition to its outstanding record as a Research University, USFcontinues to have a huge economic impact upon the regional TampaBay economy. In January 2006, USF announced the results of a studythat revealed the University’s annual economic impact on the regionaleconomy of Tampa Bay is $3.2 billion.

“The University of South Florida, through its four campuses, con-tinues to exert a profound impact on the Tampa Bay region, both eco-nomically and in quality of life,” said USF President Judy Genshaft.“Our success has exceeded expectations.With an original investmentof $50,000 just 50 years ago, the university has become one of the twofastest growing research universities in the country.The people ofTampa made a savvy investment in 1956, and it is one that will con-tinue to pay powerful dividends.”

Additionally, ESPN Regional Television, who has long been themedia rights holder for USF Athletics, has the rights to broadcast all BIGEAST games not assigned to ABC or ESPN and syndicates a BIG EASTGame of the Week on Saturday mornings.Thus, an already strong part-

nershipbetweenUSF andESPNRegional

is even stronger with the BIG EAST ties. USF’s game with Pittsburghthis season will air on the Game of the Week.

RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM

Whether it’s on the natural grass field that is envied by every NFLplayer outside of Tampa Bay, in the plush fan seating areas, or the spa-cious club facilities and comfortable press box, the impression ofRaymond James Stadium - Home of the USF Bulls - is impressive andimmediate.The entire facility takes state-of-the-art up a notch.

Raymond James Stadium - also home to the 2003 Super BowlChampion Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the annual Outback Bowl - is a$168.5 million facility which opened September 20, 1998 with a TampaBay Buccaneers game against the Chicago Bears.Two weeks later, theBulls debuted in their new home with a 45-6 win over Citadel, in frontof 32,598 fans.

The Bulls have continued to enjoy a winning edge in RaymondJames, building a 49-7 record since 1998, including one streak of 21straight victories at home.

Tampa Bay hosted its third Super Bowl, and it’s first in RaymondJames Stadium, in 2001 and the stadium also serves as an outstandingvenue for outdoor concert acts.

The facility also continues a proud tradition as the finest naturalgrass surface in the country.The bermuda-sodded field in the formerTampa Stadium - home to Super Bowls XVIII and XXV - earnedannual recognition from the NFL Players Association as the league’sfinest field, and the recognition has continued at Raymond JamesStadium, which has affectionately become known as “The Ray Jay.”

The comfort extends into the fan areas with arm-chair theatre seatswith cup holders in all sections.Additionally, the seats range from 19 to21 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 USFgames, the lower half of the stadium allows for a capacity of 41,441.Raymond James also features not one - but two - giant Daktronicsvideo boards that can be broken down into several different images, andshow several games from around the country at one time.

Additional fan-friendly luxuries include 1,158 televisions through-out the stadium.

The stadium has 167 club suites on two floors at mid-level alongboth sidelines. Each suite has retractable glass windows, a private refresh-ment bar and restroom, and five televisions.The Club Seating alsoallows access opportunities into two 65,000 square foot air conditionedlounges with amenities including sports bars, specialty restaurants andlarge video walls.

The stadium’s media facilities are also first class, including 225 seatson the west side suite level with booths for television, radio and teamcoaches. 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, aState of Florida sales tax rebate and a portion of the tourist develop-ment tax, the stadium is named for the Raymond James investmentfirm, headquartered in St. Petersburg, Fla.

USF IN THE COMMUNITYWhen several USF players visited the Levine’s Children’s Hospital

while in Charlotte, NC for the 2005 Meineke Car Care Bowl, it wassimply the latest in a long line of community outreach programs that allUSF student-athletes involve themselves with. It is part of the collegiateexperience and a component that serves to vastly enhance that experi-ence.

In addition to representing USF on the fields of play, the student-athletes take pride in giving time to their Tampa Bay community in theform of volunteer services with a hope for impacting lives, especiallythose of children.

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

Since 1998-99, the “USF Student-Athlete Speakers Bureau” hasseen student-athletes visit local recreation centers and speak to youthabout the importance of staying in school and how that, plus athletics,has personally aided USF student-athletes in their quests to receive aneducation.

USF Football began involvement with Habitat For Humanity in2004, with Coach Leavitt and 50 players helping build a home inWimauma.

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

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

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

Children at the Shriner’s Hospital, located on the USF campus, alsolook forward to visits from USF student-athletes.

USF belongs to the community and Bull student-athletes know theirvisibility and consistent constructive activity is a key to having the com-munity realize their commitment to it.

OUTLOOK

Bulls Speed into 10th Season withMomentum of Historic Bowl Bid

Although USF heads into its 10th-ever season of football with animpressive list of accomplishments – including a first-ever Bowl appear-ance in 2005 – head coach Jim Leavitt, who has been in charge everystep of the way, knows what’s behind you doesn’t matter.

So, it comes as no surprise that Leavitt refuses to allow his staff andplayers to take anything for granted heading into 2006, the Bulls’ secondseason in the Big East. He knows that like any season – with a successfulyear behind you or not – there will be questions to answer. In 2006, thelargest question will be who fills the void of all-time leading rusherAndre 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, threestarters on the defensive line and the strong safety all have to bereplaced.Those are important positions to fill. So, we have to findanswers.”

While the answers to those questions and more may not be com-pletely answered until August camp, Leavitt is confident there are plentyof options. For instance, redshirt freshman Moise Plancher, sophomoreRicky Ponton and senior Walt Smith – a converted defensive back –have displayed outstanding skill sets through spring ball and figure tocollectively find a way to replace Hall.

And while starters will be missing from the defensive line and atsafety – most notably all-time sack leader Terrence Royal and sixth-yearveteran Johnnie Jones – the players coming up have gained some spotduty experience as backups.And at safety, Danny Verpaele, a FreshmanAll-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 replace-ments will be the relative youth of this year’s team, which if possible, iseven younger than 2005 when 70 players who entered August campwere freshmen or sophomores.That number is over 70 in 2006, whilethere are only 14 seniors on the roster. Further, only six of those seniors– Will Bleakley, S.J. Green, Pat Julmiste, Stephen Nicholas,TavariousRobinson and Patrick St. Louis - have been with USF their entirecareer.

Two of the seniors – James Jackson and Devin Gordon – are in theirfirst season with USF, while the remaining six – Ryan Bourdeau,Jeremy Burnett, Darren Haliburton, Ean Randolph,Walt Smith andThed 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’venever had such a small senior class, ever. Leadership? Look at the leaderswe lost.We’re not right at the stage where we can be a juggernaut everyyear, but we’re trying. It will be real interesting to watch this team thissummer. Guys are going to have to work at an unbelievable level.”

THE OFFENSEThe biggest disappointment in 2005, when USF made its way to the

Meineke Car Care Bowl, was inconsistency on offense.The Bulls lookedstunning en route to a 45-14 win over Louisville, but also had a 15-10loss at Connecticut and failed to score for the first time ever in theBowl game.The USF pass offense finished 107th among 117 teams inthe NCAA rankings.

The Bulls did finish 18th in the nation in rushing (boosting theiroverall 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 finda way to improve the offensive production and traveled to Texas andMissouri in the off-season to visit with those school’s coaches on theirrespective offenses. Both Texas and Missouri built their offense aroundtheir quarterback, something USF would like to do. But first, the staffmust answer who the quarterback will be.

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

15

QUARTERBACKSHeading into the August camp, the staff has opted to move Carlton

Hill (So., 6-3, 220) to receiver, where he played in his rookie seasonprior to an opportunity at quarterback.That move leaves veteran starterPat Julmiste (Sr., 6-3, 220) and redshirt freshman Matt Grothe (Fr., 6-0,200), who pushed himself firmly into the mix with an outstandingspring season.

Although Julmiste returns with 23 career starts and 29 game appear-ances, the staff needs to see a better level of consistency from the senioror Grothe could win the job.

Julmiste certainly won’t give up on the challenge. Coaches love hisdedication and effort, and they have seen flashes of good things through-out his three seasons. In USF’s 45-14 win over ninth-ranked Louisvillelast season, Julmiste looked poised and in command as he led the Bullsto victory. If he can find consistency and combine it with his experi-ence, he could hold on to the starting job.

Grothe, meanwhile, showed enough talent as a redshirt freshman thatformer quarterbacks Louis Gachette and Courtney Denson are now inthe 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 safe-ty, and the Indiana transfer could emerge as yet another strong con-tender.

Anthony Severino (Jr., 6-2, 185), who is now in his fourth year atUSF and has a firm grasp of the offense despite limited game action, alsoremains 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 BACKSIn addition to a potential switch at quarterback, USF knows it will

have to make a switch at feature back with the departure of Hall, whoessentially broke every rushing record in the USF record book.As goodas Hall was, Leavitt is confident that redshirt freshman Moise Plancher(Fr., 5-9, 190) and sophomore Ricky Ponton (So., 5-10, 205) have theskill set to excel in the backfield.

Plancher has yet to play a down in college, but he has impressed inpractice. Ponton got solid experience behind Hall last season, provingcapable with 92 carries for 372 yards and two touchdowns.

Another intriguing possibility is Walt Smith (Sr., 5-10, 175), who wasan outstanding running back in junior college, but played defensive backand 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, whereguards Chris Carothers and Frank Davis and center John Miller havecompleted their eligibility.All three are considerable losses, includingDavis, who signed with the Detroit Lions. Miller and Davis were bothnamed 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 aset of three players who gained plenty of playing time last season. Heexcelled as a pass protector, limiting the nation’s leading sack man –Elvis Dumervil – to no sacks. He did the same against an impressivedefensive 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. Dilefigures to play opposite Watson at right tackle, while Walker, who hasplayed 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, heappears better suited at end. So, junior Nick Capogna (Jr., 6-3, 275)heads into August drills as the starter with versatile guard/center JakeGriffin (So., 6-4, 290) backing him up.

USF must replace Davis at left guard, and redshirt freshman DannyTolley (Fr., 6-6, 310) will get a strong look at that spot, although Griffincould also contend. Meanwhile, sophomore Matt Huners (So., 6-3, 290),who did make one start in 2005, will compete for time at both guardspots.

TIGHT ENDSAt 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 twoyears while getting ready to take over the tight end spot and lookedstrong in the spring.

Meanwhile, Cedric Hill (So., 6-3, 240) proved last season to be acapable utility man as a wideout or a tight end. He should continue inboth roles this season, while Ben Busbee (Fr., 6-4, 240) figures to buildon his redshirt freshman season that displayed plenty of ability. Busbeewill 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 pro-gram, and showed enough talent this past spring to win a spot on theBulls’ roster.

RECEIVERSLeavitt is very confident in his receiving corps and he feels the posi-

tion will strengthen even further when the freshmen arrive this summer.Although Hall led the Bulls in receiving as well as rushing last year, USFreturns six of the next seven receiving leaders from 2005.

One factor that jumps right out from the lineup of receivers is theclear emphasis on size.Among 14 receivers plus six tight ends, 15 are atleast 6-2, and 14 of those are 6-3 or taller.

Leading the way is Amarri Jackson (Jr., 6-5, 195), who debuted inimpressive fashion in 2005 with 22 catches for 242 yards. He proved tobe a skilled runner, catching Louisville off guard for two long reverseruns in USF’s 45-14 win. He also threw a touchdown pass off a reversein 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 receptionsfor 229 yards.Along with Cedric Hill’s (So., 6-3, 240) numbers at tightend and wideout, that group of four players returns with 69 catches for900 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 truefreshmen in 2005, return with a combined 11 catches for 182 yards.

Just as Edwards, Hester and Johnson got a shot as true freshmen in2005, 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 competefor 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 inpractice. 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 theBulls lineup.

Ean Randolph (Sr., 5-9, 175) may not be another of those tall wide-outs, but the Webber University transfer showed speed and promise inspring and figures to add as a wideout and return specialist in his oneyear at USF.

THE DEFENSEThe USF defense rebounded in 2005 from what USF faithful hope

was a fluke in 2004, when the Bulls ranked 77th in the nation, allowing398.45 yards a game. Having built a reputation as a strong defensiveteam from the earliest days of the program, the Bulls ranked 17th in thenation in 2005, allowing 311.92 yards, despite a much tougher schedulethat included Penn State, Miami, Louisville and West Virginia. Even inthe Meineke Car Care Bowl loss, the defense shined in allowing just 14points.

With Leavitt’s defensive background plus the vast experience ofcoordinator Wally Burnham, who is now in his sixth season at USF, theBulls defense has a huge asset in the consistency of coaching.

DEFENSIVE LINEThe biggest questions to be answered on defense come on the

defensive line, where Leavitt has always emphasized the importance ofhaving a strong front four if you want to have a strong overall defense.

The Bulls have to replace both defensive ends, including TerrenceRoyal, who had 10 sacks last season (three in the Meineke Car CareBowl) to set a new single season and career record at USF. On the leftend, USF must replace Jon Simmons, and at tackle,Tim Jones is gone.

While ends Josh Julmiste (So., 6-6, 265) (QB Pat’s brother) andJarriett Buie (Jr., 6-4, 240) have very little college experience, their ath-leticism, speed and size are even more impressive than what Royal andSimmons brought with them. Julmiste, at 265 with excellent speed, isthe largest defensive end the Bulls have ever brought to the front four.

Julmiste is the lead candidate at left end, while Buie will battle withredshirt freshman George Selvie (Fr., 6-4, 255) , who showed promisethroughout last fall and spring.

Size will also be prominent at the interior line positions, where USF

17

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 atnose tackle in 2005, return to provide experience at that spot.

In replacing Jones at the other tackle spot, USF will look to convert-ed end Tavarious Robinson (Sr., 6-4, 290), another big and speedy play-er, 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 line-

backers, 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 triohad a combined 264 tackles last season, including 40 for losses.They alsocombined for 12 sacks.

Nicholas, who has been on the Butkus Watch List in each of the pasttwo seasons, earned second team all-Big East last year and could havedeparted for the NFL, but opted to return for a senior season. He hasalready been named a preseason honorable mention All-American thisyear by Street & Smith, and he is on the Bronco Nagurski Trophy WatchList.

While Nicholas primarily lines up on the strong side, he is extremelyversatile 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 toMoffitt, who mans the middle. Moffitt, who was the National DefensivePlayer of the Week for his performance in USF’s 45-14 win overLouisville last season, had 96 tackles and tied Nicholas for the team leadwith 15.5 tackles for loss.

While the Moffitt, Nicholas, St. Louis trio brings loads of experi-ence, the depth at linebacker – though strong in quantity – lacks thatsame experience.

Converted safety Sam Miller (So., 5-11, 200) has been an outstandingspecial teams player and despite perhaps being undersized, he displaysoutstanding desire and ability as the backup to Nicholas on the strongside.

Brouce Mompremier (So., 6-1, 225) got his feet wet last season andbrings confidence as the backup to Moffitt in the middle.

Backing up St. Louis on the weak side is converted end ChrisRobinson (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 tal-ent in the freshman recruiting class – plus Maryland transfer MarvinPeoples (Fr., 6-2, 230) - offering bright possibilities into the future, evenafter this year’s starters depart.

SECONDARYIn 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., 5-10, 185). Jenkins was second team all-Big East in 2005, and is a consen-sus preseason all-conference choice this year.While Williams has notreceived the same attention, he is every bit as talented.The duo com-bined for 77 tackles and four interceptions in 2005.

Similar to the linebacker positions, the Bulls backups at corner areuntested, but talented. Converted quarterback Courtney Denson (Jr., 5-11, 190) is on one side, with redshirt freshman Jerome Murphy (Fr., 6-1,185) showing promise on the opposite side.Another option is TyllerRoberts (So., 6-1, 190), who saw action as a backup corner in his truefreshman season, but will also get a look for depth at free safety, wheresophomore Danny Verpaele (So., 5-11, 200) figures to start.

Verpaele, a freshman All-American at strong safety in 2004, moves tofree safety in 2006 after missing the entire 2005 season with a brokenfoot. Even with the missed year, his experience and talents have thecoaches confident he will fill the role well.

Additionally, the Bulls return Carlton Williams (So., 6-4, 205) whostarted all 12 games at free safety as a freshman, matching Verpaele’s hon-orable mention Freshman All-America honors.Williams still figuresprominently as the Bulls’ nickel back, while also providing a provenoption at free safety.

At strong safety, USF will look to converted quarterback LouisGachette (6-3, 205), who showed a quarterback’s mentality and extremetoughness in his action as a backup and nickel back in 2005, when hehad 16 tackles and two interceptions. Gachette is backed up by seniorJeremy Burnett (Sr., 6-1, 190), a transfer from Purdue who has con-tributed mostly on special teams for the Bulls to this point.

Among the newcomers, one player to keep an eye on is Oregontransfer Ryan Gilliam (Jr., 5-10, 175), perhaps the speediest player in thesecondary.

SPECIALISTSAlthough the Bulls lose placekicker Kyle Bronson, who opted to

transfer away, sophomore Mike Benzer (So., 5-8, 185) had started theseason at that spot in 2005, losing the job after some misfortune in theearly season.A short but powerful kicker, Benzer enjoys the confidenceof USF coaches.

USF also loses its punter – Brandon Baker – who was a three-yearstarter. Freshman walk-on Ilia Petrov (Fr., 5-11, 190) may be the answer,while sophomore William Criswell (So., 5-9, 160) handled the choresthrough the spring and could be an option. Petrov and 2006 signeeDelbert.Alvarado (Fr., 6-0, 175) both have the added bonus of beingable to kick or punt.

USF has normally utilized a second kicker for all kickoffs and JustinTeachey (So., 5-11, 170) returns in that role from last season.

At long snapper, the Bulls return Ryan Bourdeau (Sr., 6-2, 25), whohandled the chores throughout the 2005 season. Potential backupsinclude walk-on Luke Birge (Fr., 6-2, 230), tight end Ben Busbee (Fr.,6-3, 240) and Eric Setser (So., 6-1, 240).

THE SCHEDULEFor the first time ever, USF will play a 12-game regular season, and

the competition remains tough. In addition to the normal slate of sevenBig East games, the Bulls will have to travel to the Big 12’s Kansas andthe ACC’s North Carolina.

USF does get to open the season with two straight home gamesagainst McNeese State (Sept. 2) and Florida International (Sept. 9),before the first road game at UCF (Sept. 16), a rival looking for revengeafter the Bulls’ win in a first-ever meeting last year in Tampa.

The schedule includes five games against teams who played in aBowl Game last year, including a season-ending game at defending BigEast champ West Virginia, who essentially returns an entire team thatdefeated Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.That game comes on the heels of acontest at Louisville, another school that will have revenge in mind afterUSF’s 45-14 win in 2005.

Jim Leavitt is working on a new theory. Itstates, “You can never leave home again.”

With apologies to Thomas Wolfe, Leavitt hasalready proven that you can indeed go home again,having returned to his Tampa Bay roots to overseethe most successful start-up of a college footballprogram in decades. In just 10 years, Leavitt turneda non-existent program into a Bowl team when theBulls played in the 2005 Meineke Car Care Nowl.

And on two occasions in the past three yearswhen prominent programs showed interest, Leavitthas solidified his commitment to USF with a newcontract. On November 30, 2005, Leavitt agreed toa seven-year, $7 million deal to stay with the Bulls.That came just over two years after he had signed anew contract through 2009.

At this point, Leavitt is the alpha and omega of

USF football. He is the only coach the school hasever had as he was presented the job on December12, 1995. He then went about starting football fromscratch and leading the program from an inauguralseason in 1997 to I-A status in 2001, ConferenceUSA in 2003 and now the BIG EAST and BCSfootball in 2005.

Having been “forced” to leave the state to playcollegiate football and baseball in the mid-1970s, thenew contract solidifies Leavitt’s longstanding decla-ration that he has no intentions of leaving again.When he returned home in 1996 to lead the fledg-ling USF program, it was for the first time since heleft for Missouri in 1974 and he has been emphaticin his desire to stay.

“I can see myself coaching at South Florida untilI retire,” says Leavitt.“Then I can buy season ticketsand sit in the stands and watch the Bulls play onSaturdays.”

After the first nine seasons of USF Football,Leavitt has proven only further that he was indeedthe right man for the right job at the right time.Charged with fast tracking a program from non-existence to Division I-A football in just five yearstime, Leavitt has led the program to an impressive61-39 record.A mega-success in the first four yearsat the I-AA level (24 straight weeks in nationalpolls), Leavitt and crew moved to I-A in 2001 andwent 8-3, including a 35-26 win at Pittsburgh.

In 2002, his team finished 9-2 and seriouslycontended for a Bowl Game, even as anIndependent.The Bulls are also received votes in

both major polls and ranked 18th in the final NewYork Times Computer Poll, one of several polls uti-lized by the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) atthe time. In fact, USF ranked among the top 30 ineach of the computer polls utilized by the BCS, andthe program also had a 21-game home winningstreak that extended into the 2003 season.

Having blazed yet another milestone in directingthe program into its first-ever season in ConferenceUSA in 2003, Leavitt and his squad now move intothe BIG EAST after two C-USA seasons.Alongwith four wins against C-USA foes in 2002, a yearbefore becoming a league member, the Bulls were12-8 against C-USA opponents.

Picked to finish seventh in the eight-team BIGEAST in USF’s debut season of 2005, Leavitt led theBulls to a major win over then-ninth rankedLouisville and the Bulls finished third in the league.

Leavitt’s success has extended beyond league playas he reached his 50th career win faster than all butfive active I-A coaches. Leavitt picked up his 50thvictory in his 75th game, placing him behind BobStoops (Oklahoma), Philip Fulmer (Tennessee), JohnRobinson (UNLV), Joe Paterno (Penn State) andLloyd Carr (Michigan).

Leavitt’s profile foretold of the success to comeat USF, even as he was hired for the job onDecember 12, 1995, exactly one week following his39th birthday.

“Leading the USF football program is muchmore than just a job,” said Leavitt when he washired.“And it is much more than a task at hand. It issomething that is a major part of my life, and it willalways be that. I am going to do everything I can tobuild a program without illusions, without cuttingcorners, doing things the right way and bringing incoaches with character.”

Leavitt also speaks a lot about the “being home”factor.

“Shortly after I was hired, I was speaking withBrigham Young coach LaVell Edwards,” recallsLeavitt.“He told me that throughout his years atBYU, he had plenty of opportunities to move on towhat some might perceive to be better coachingjobs. 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. Ittook 23 years and wound through Missouri, Iowaand Kansas. It began in 1974, when the St.Petersburg resident, and a star for Dixie HollinsHigh School, went off to Missouri, where he was atwo-sport standout in football and baseball, earningall-Big 8 in both sports. He also won a Big 8 battingtitle in 1977 with a .386 average.

Upon graduation in 1978, he stayed at Missourias a graduate assistant, earning a master’s degree in1979.After two seasons as a graduate assistant,Leavitt moved to the State of Iowa, where wasnamed defensive coordinator at the University ofDubuque in 1980, spending two years in that posi-tion, before moving to Morningside College from1982-87, also as defensive coordinator.

At both Dubuque and Morningside, Leavitt wasinstrumental in transforming the program to success.The Dubuque team had 40 consecutive losing sea-sons, but Leavitt helped the squad to an 8-2-1record and the Division III playoffs in his first sea-son.

The situation at Morningside was similar with along track record of losing seasons. Even in Leavitt’sfirst two seasons there, the squad finished 2-9 and 1-10, leading to the entire staff - except Leavitt - serv-ing up its resignation. Leavitt assumed interim headcoach duties for six months prior to the 1984 sea-son, including the recruitment of that year’s fresh-men class.

It was then that Leavitt began to rely heavily onhome again, even if he couldn’t be there. He decid-ed to aggressively recruit the Sunshine State, loadingthe Morningside recruiting classes with Florida tal-ent. It helped turn the program to 6-5 and then 7-3-1 in 1984 and 1985, the first back-to-back win-ning seasons in the 28 years.

Leavitt also coached the track team atMorningside, a program that had not scored a singlepoint in its conference meet in three years when hetook over. In Leavitt’s three seasons, his athletes wonfive All-America honors, 13 conference titles and setnew school records in virtually every event. In 1988,he coached a 4x100 relay team that finished fourthin 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 since1982. By 1989, he simply needed to complete hisdissertation, when Iowa head coach Hayden Fryoffered him a graduate position.With the coachingbug, Leavitt took the opportunity and fast tracked a

career in I-A football coaching.

After just one season with Iowa, Leavitt wasnamed to Bill Snyder’s staff at Kansas State in 1990,when that program had just been tabbed the “worstin America” by Sports Illustrated. Snyder, who was acoaching disciple of Iowa’s Fry, was in his secondseason at K-State, when he asked Leavitt to coachthe linebackers.

The following year, Leavitt was promoted to co-defensive coordinator and he was instrumental inbuilding a defense that joined Snyder’s offense in aquick and effective turnaround that had SportsIllustrated calling K-State the most improved team inthe nation by 1993.And now, Kansas State hasassumed a regular spot in the nation’s top 10.

In Leavitt’s five years at Kansas State, theWildcats were 44-23-1 compared to 22-86-1 in the1980s. In his final three seasons, Kansas State joinedFlorida, Florida State, Nebraska and Penn State asthe only teams in the nation with three consecutivenine-win seasons. During those three years, KansasState was 27-8-1.

And perhaps most impressively, Leavitt and Bob

Stoops designed a defense that went from 93rd inthe nation in 1990 to number one in their final sea-son of 1995.

The common denominator for success at eachof Leavitt’s stops has been an unyielding commit-ment to old-fashioned hard work.

“Nobody but nobody is going to match hiswork ethic and his energy,” Leavitt’s baseball coachat Missouri once said of him.

While that ethic has followed Leavitt every-

where, a story from Morningside College in SiouxCity, Iowa is as good as any in proving the point.

As the defensive coordinator in 1985, Leavittdrove from Iowa to St. Petersburg, Fla. to meet arecruit at Lakewood High School for a 9 p.m. meet-ing. Leavitt pulled a projector out of the trunk ofhis car, groped in the dark to find a power outletoutside the gym, threw a beach towel over a chairand proceeded to show the recruit Morningsidegame films. In the two weeks surrounding that onevisit, Leavitt put 2,500 miles on his ChryslerLeBaron.

The Lakewood recruit ended up a starter atMorningside and never regretted following Leavittback to Sioux City.

Leavitt doesn’t hide the fact that he has taken acarbon copy of the building strategies at both Iowaand Kansas State in building the start-from-scratchprogram at USF.

“I would say I use a lot of things that we did atKansas State and Iowa as far as the structure of our

program,” says Leavitt.“But we really didn’t use any-body as a model because there really was no model.We were starting a program and the one thing weknew was that our track was going to be fast.”

As successful as Kansas State and Iowa were inimplementing their strategies, Leavitt can’t help butsmile a little bit wider now that he’s implementingit himself in his own backyard.

Leavitt and his family first made their backyardin St. Petersburg, Fla. – just 40 minutes from theUSF campus - when he was nine years old. Born inHarlingen,Tex., December 5, 1956, Leavitt’s fatherwas an air force pilot, and the family’s move to St.Petersburg was the fifth and final stop. In fact, hisparents still live in the family home.

A two-sport star in baseball and football (heplayed quarterback and safety) at Dixie Hollins HighSchool, he graduated in 1974 and went on toMissouri, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in1978 and a master’s degree in 1979.

Leavitt has a 10-year-old daughter, Deandra.

USF HEAD FOOTBALL COACHPROFILE CHARACTERISTICS“Essential or Preferred Skills Successful Candidate Expected to Bring to USF”

When the University of South Florida began its search for a head coachin September, 1995, it listed several “essential or preferred skills” from asuccessful candidate. Jim Leavitt, named head coach in December, 1995,met and even exceeded all desired skills.

COACHING EXPERIENCE: Jim Leavitt has been involved in inter-collegiate football coaching since 1978, has also been a head track andfield coach at the college level, and served as a strength and conditioningcoach for 10 intercollegiate sports. He has risen from the graduate levelas a football coach to defensive and special teams coordinator at theDivision II and III levels to linebacker coach, and eventually defensivecoordinator at the Division I level with Kansas State.

EDUCATION/ACADEMIC ISSUES: Jim Leavitt was selected tothe All-Big Eight Academic Team in football and baseball at Missouri,and he was also a member of the prestigious QEBH, a national hon-orary for outstanding achievement in college academics and athletics. Heearned a bachelor’s degree in Education and a master’s degree in coun-seling, both from Missouri.Additionally, he completed all his coursework and written comps for a PhD from Iowa, but accepted a coachingposition at Kansas State, prior to completing a dissertation.

NCAA RULES COMPLIANCE RECORD: All programs thatLeavitt has been associated with have clean NCAA slates during histenure.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 WITHFLORIDA FOOTBALL: Leavitt graduated from Dixie HollinsHigh School in St. Petersburg, a 40-minute drive from the USFcampus.A great portion of his recruiting base while at KansasState was the State of Florida. In 1995, Leavitt’s final season atKansas State, the roster contained 22 players from Florida, includingtwo All-Americans on Leavitt’s defensive unit.

MANAGEMENT SKILLS: As an interim head coach atMorningside College, strength and conditioning coach for 10sports at Missouri, and defensive coordinator with three differentprograms on three different NCAA levels of play, Leavitt hashoned 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 dutiesthat accompany a top assistant at a Division I program have aidedin his ability to manage successfully. In addition, Leavitt balancedhis studies for a PhD with coaching duties while at Iowa.

DEVELOPING A BASE OF CONSTITUENT

SUPPORT: As a native ofthe Tampa Bay area, as well asa Florida recruiter, Leavitt hasa solid base for continuing tobuild on local support forUSF Football. His enthusiasmfor the profession and theUSF position in particular further solidify the founda-tion.

ENERGY LEVEL: Whenasked where he will residewhen he relocates to theTampa Bay area, Leavittresponded,“in my office.” Hedid buy a house, but Leavitt’spassion for college footballand the USF job in particularis worn on his sleeves.

TEAM DISCIPLINE: Jim Gladden, a former assistant coach at FloridaState:“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 dis-played a high degree of integrity and morality throughout his career as aplayer and coach.”

From Worst to First in Six YearsJim 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 intotal defense, and 106th – or last – against the run. In 1990, the Wildcats movedup to 82nd and 92nd in those categories.

In 1991, Leavitt and Bob Stoops were promoted to co-defensive coordina-tors 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 fromworst to first in defense.

When USF head coach Jim Leavitt announced the addition of WallyBurnham to the USF staff in March 2000, he drew an analogy to a “recruitingcoup.”

Why not? After all, Burnham has an abundance of big-time college coachingexperience, including nine years with Bobby Bowden at Florida State and fiveyears as an assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at South Carolina.Furthermore, Burnham has blazed the recruiting trails throughout Florida andbeyond during his coaching career. In all, Burnham brings 38 years of coachingexperience (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 soledefensive coordinator after four years as co-coordinator.

Burnham has done plenty to prove Leavitt’s decision to hire him six yearsago to be a very astute one.Although his role was coaching the defensive endsin 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 pro-grams nationally to 38th among I-A schools in 2001 and all the way to 17th inDivision I-A in 2002, 2003 and once again in 2005.Also in 2002, the Bullsranked number one in the nation in turnover margin thanks in large part to aball-hawking defense that was also ranked seventh nationally against the run.

Burnham played a large role in the development of USF linebacker KawikaMitchell, who became the school’s all-time leader in tackles and the highest-everdrafted Bull when the Kansas City Chiefs took him in the second round in2003. Maurice Jones, another Burnham pupil, signed a free agent contract withthe Green Bay Packers. Current USF linebacker Stephen Nicholas appears alikely 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 10thplayer who signed as a free agent.Among his standout linebackers at FSU wereDerrick Brooks, Marvin Jones, Paul McGowan, Jesse Solomon and Garth Jax.Jones and McGowan each won the Butkus Award, and Jones added theLombardi Award.

Prior to joining USF, Burnham was the assistant head coach and defensivecoordinator at South Carolina between 1994-98. Upon arriving at SouthCarolina, literally just days after Florida State’s 1993 National Championshipwin, Burnham instituted a new 4-3 scheme for the Gamecocks, and he quicklymolded 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 acrucial factor in South Carolina’s win over West Virginia in the 1996 CarquestBowl.

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 1993National Championship staff.

At Florida State, Burnham coaches linebackers in a program that won ninestraight Bowl Games during his tenure. FSU also finished among the nation’stop four teams in eight of his nine seasons, including the 1993 NationalChampionship.

A 1963 graduate of Samford (secondary education), Burnham began playingcollegiately for Bear Bryant at Alabama during the 1960 and 1961 seasons. Hetransferred to Samford, where he was a Little All-America linebacker in his sen-ior season. He also has a master’s degree in Athletic Administration from WestAlabama.

He began coaching at the high school level in 1967, before first joining thecollege ranks at North Alabama in 1971, where he remained the offensive linecoach and recruiting coordinator through 1976, before moving to East TennesseeState as defensive coordinator for two seasons (1977-78).

In 1979, Burnham was defensive coordinator at Richmond, and he thenmoved on to Memphis State as linebackers coach in 1980. In 1981-82, Burnhamwas 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 the1984 USFL Championship Game. Burnham joined Bowden at Florida Stateafter two seasons (1983-84) with the Wranglers.

A native of Pell City,Ala., Burnham and his wife, Barbara, have three chil-dren, Patrick,Allison and Shane. Shane was a four-year letter winner, and three-year starting linebacker at South Carolina from 1994-97. He is now an assistantcoach at Elon.

Bernard Clark, a Tampa native, a standout linebacker at the University ofMiami, and a former NFL player, was named to the USF staff March 23, 2006after two seasons as the defensive coordinator at Florida International University.

At Florida International, Clark worked to improve a defensive unit thatallowed 478 yards per game against a I-AA schedule in 2004 to one that gave up375 yards per game against a I-A schedule in 2005.Although FloridaIntrernational was not included in national rankings in 2005 due to its re-classi-fication process, the defense would have ranked among the top 60 in I-A afterranking 115th in I-AA in 2004.

Against Florida Atlantic in 2005, Clark’s defense tied an NCAA record whenit 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 toLiberty University, where he was linebacker and special teams coach from 2000-2003. In his six seasons between James Madison and Liberty, Clark was on anopposing sideline from the Bulls three times. His 1999 James Madison teamdefeated the Bulls, while USF beat Liberty in 2000 and 2001.

Prior to joining the college coaching ranks, Clark first coached as a volun-teer at Tampa’s King High School in 1996 before being named defensive coordi-nator at Lakeland Santa Fe in 1997.

As a linebacker at Miami, Clark was on the Hurricanes’ 1987 and 1989National Championship teams, and he won the MVP award in the 1988 OrangeBowl.A 1989 graduate of Miami, he was drafted by Cincinnati that year in thethird round. He played two seasons with the Bengals and then spent one campwith Dallas in 1992, before playing with Orlando in the Arena League in 1994and 1996.

Now in his third season at USF, Franks was no stranger to State of Florida foot-ball when he joined the Bulls in 2004.After four-plus years of experience as aDivision I-A head coach, Franks returned to Florida in 2004, where he assisted inbuilding a powerful offense with Steve Spurrier at the University of Florida in the1990s. In addition to coaching running backs at USF, he oversees the recruitingefforts, a responsibility in which he proved ultra-successful during his tenure atFlorida as well.

In 2004 and 2005, Franks tutored Bulls’ running back Andre Hall, a junior col-lege 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 singleseason rushing record seasons.With Hall now departed, Franks turns his focus to astrong 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 the2003 season. The former football letterman at Duke returned to Durham followingnine seasons at Florida, where he helped the Gators to eight bowl games along withthe 1996 national championship.

At Duke, Franks continued a strong commitment to academics.The reality ofDuke’s academic success came to the forefront in June of 2003 when the footballprogram earned the Academic Achievement Award from the American FootballCoaches Association for the 11th time. No other school in the nation has garneredthe honor more than six times. The 2003 award was based on the graduation rate forthe class entering college in the fall of 1997, and Duke led the way with a perfect100 percent standard.

The commitment to academics is one Franks and the entire USF coaching staffstress in recruiting efforts for the Bulls.

In his inaugural season as a head coach in 1999, Franks gave Duke-faithful signsof a successful future, as his first head coaching victory was a come-from-behinddouble-overtime win over Virginia in Charlottesville. It marked Duke’s first victoryat Virginia since Franks was a Blue Devil player in 1981.

The Blue Devils notched another ACC road victory in 1999, defeating theMaryland Terrapins in another thriller, 25-22, while Franks’ first victory within thefriendly 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-pointfirst quarter scoring spree by the Blue Devils.

Franks was also honored during his inaugural season by being selected as thehead coach of the 1999 Gray squad in the annual Blue-Gray Classic held inMontgomery,Ala. on Christmas Day.

Franks returned to his alma mater after 12 years as an assistant coach under theultra-successful Spurrier. Franks worked with Spurrier from 1987-89 at Duke andthen the next nine seasons at the University of Florida.

It was at Florida where Franks and the rest of the Gator program landed in thenational spotlight. While there, Franks was an integral part of five SEC championshipteams, including the 1996 squad that captured the national championship at theSugar Bowl. In his tenure with the Gators, Franks helped Florida win 25 straightleague games from 1994-97 for the second-longest streak in conference history andbecome just one of two schools in SEC history to win four consecutive leaguechampionships (1993-96).

In all, Franks has coached nine squads that played in bowl games, includingDuke’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 lastseven 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 backscoach and recruiting coordinator - both areas of strength for the elite program. Hecoached two Gator running backs who gained over 3,000 career rushing yards inErrict Rhett and Fred Taylor. Rhett finished his career as the only offensive back inNCAA I-A history to rush for over 4,100 yards and catch 150 passes while Taylorrushed for 3,075 yards in his college career and was the ninth overall selection in the1998 NFL Draft. In his seven years as a running backs coach, a Gator back rushedfor over 100 yards in a game 44 times.

Florida ranked among the nation’s top 15 teams in total offense six times in thoseeight years Franks was coaching on the offensive side of the ball. He was the team’sinside linebackers coach in 1994. And that was also successful as the stop unit set aGator record by allowing just 84.6 yards rushing per game, the fifth-best mark in thenation.

As recruiting coordinator from 1991-93, he helped put together the nation’s toprecruiting class in 1992 according to Super Prep and Blue Chip Report. The incom-ing classes of 1993 and 1994 were also highly regarded, both ranking in the nation’stop 10.

In 1996, the Gators rolled to a 12-1 overall record which included a perfect 8-0regular season ledger in the SEC. After closing out the regular season with a 24-21loss to Florida State, Florida rebounded with a 45-30 victory over Alabama in theSEC Championship Game. Then came the rematch with the Seminoles, where theGators 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 ACCchampionship as the school’s running backs coach.That year, running back RandyCuthbert became Duke’s first 1,000-yard rusher in nearly 20 years while the BlueDevil offense gained a school-record 5,519 yards. After dropping three of its firstfour games, the 1989 Blue Devil squad reeled off seven straight wins by averagingover 37 points per game during that stretch. Duke also closed out the regular seasonwith 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 andwas selected as an academic All-ACC performer in 1982. He was also the winner ofthe Mike Suglia Award, given to the team’s top sophomore scholar-athlete. He gradu-ated from Duke in 1983 with a degree in psychology.

Franks, 45, has two daughters, Brittany (17) and Courtney (14).

Highly energetic and dedicated to helping young players improve their skillswith each passing day, Greg Frey has been on the USF staff from the inception ofthe program in 1996, when he came aboard as a graduate assistant. He took fulltime status in 1999 as the defensive ends coach and assumed his current role withthe offensive linemen in 2000.

Frey has quickly gained a reputation for molding young offensive linemen intooutstanding players both as individuals and more importantly as a unit. It beganwith Kenyatta Jones, an offensive tackle who became USF’s first-ever player to bedrafted into the NFL when the New England Patriots selected him in the fourthround of the 2001 draft.

Between 2001 and 2002, after Jones and four-year starter Joey Sipp concludedtheir USF career, Frey worked almost exclusively with freshmen and sophomorestarters and yet his charges always performed well beyond their collective experi-ence while protecting quarterback Marquel Blackwell, who set every USF careerpassing record over the last four years.

In 2002, USF quarterbacks were sacked just 19 times despite a starting linecomprised entirely of freshmen and sophomores. In 2001, USF quarterbacks weresacked just 16 times.

In 2004, Frey had the luxury of a complete starting unit that returned intactfor 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 despitethe fact that he, Herron and Sarosi have all departed, Frey has continued to develop outstanding talent including Frank Davis, the most recent USF linemanto sign an NFL contract (Detroit).

A former standout offensive lineman at Florida State University and ClearwaterHigh 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 SouthFlorida football program,” head coach Jim Leavitt said upon announcing his orig-inal promotion in 1999. “He has been a very capable member on our staff fromthe 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 withthe offensive line, but he also played an instrumental part in breaking down oppo-nent film and working with the USF scout teams in preparing the Bulls for eachopponent.

When he took over the defensive ends, he played a critical role in the earlydevelopment of the Shawn Hay, who was USF’s all-time sack leader when hegraduated in 2000.

A 1992 graduate of Clearwater High, and a 1996 graduate of Florida State, Freywas an offensive tackle on the Seminoles’ 1993 National Championship team. In1990, Super Prep Magazine rated him the top offensive lineman in the countrywhile he was at Clearwater High, and he went on to earn Parade All-America sta-tus.

Frey was born December 4, 1972.

When Greg Gregory joined the USF staff in 2005, he brought a wealth ofexperience to draw upon, including two seasons as a head coach and 16 years atArmy, where he spent nine seasons as the offensive coordinator. He spent thefinal seven of his nine years at Army as the associate head coach. Gregory alsoearned Athlon Magazine’s Assistant Coach of the Year award in 1996.

Gregory works with the tight ends at USF, but his broad-based experience isa strong asset in helping build all phases of the Bulls offense.

Prior to joining USF, Gregory was offensive coordinator at Ohio from 2001-2003, where he played a major role in helping the Bobcats to score an averageof 32 points in MAC play in 2002, the program’s highest average in more than25 years.

It was immediately prior to that 2000 season that Gregory was a head coachat Missouri Southern State College in Joplin, Missouri, holding that job in 1998and 1999.

The major bulk of Gregory’s coaching career came at Army, where he beganas a part-time assistant in 1982 under head coach Ed Cavanaugh. He firstworked with receivers in 1982 and 1983 and then assumed command of thetight ends in 1984, while he also worked that one season as the head coach ofthe junior varsity team.

In 1985 he began the first of two seasons as the running backs coach beforespending the 1987 season coaching the quarterbacks. It was in 1989 thatGregory became offensive coordinator and in 1991 he added associate headcoach to his duties at Army.

While at Army, he helped lead the program to its only four Bowl Games inthe Academy’s history and the Cadets won 10 of 16 games against arch-rivalNavy.The Cadets also led the nation in rushing four separate times duringGregory’s tenure. He coached Ron McAda, the only Army quarterback everdrafted into the NFL and running back Mike Mayweather, who rushed formore than 4,000 career yards.

From 1982-85, while coaching at Army, Gregory was also a commissionedofficer in the United States Army with a rank of captain.

Gregory began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Virginia in 1980,two years prior to starting his long stint with Army. He was a quarterback him-self at Richmond, lettering in three of his four seasons with the team between1976-79.

Richard Rachel, who has been coaching football since 1969, includ-ing a stay with the final team at the University of Tampa in 1974, joinedthe USF program just prior to the start of the 2000 season. He firstcoached the secondary in 2000 before assuming oversight of the defen-sive ends in 2001, where he remained for four seasons before returningto the secondary, where his focus is on the cornerbacks.

Regardless of his role, Rachel has been successful in helping gel hisunit into USF’s successful defense.

As the cornerbacks coach, Rachel is instrumental in developingreturning starters Mike Jenkins and Trae Williams, among the finest cor-ner tandems in the BIG EAST Conference. In his four seasons with theends, Rachel helped develop outstanding talent that led to 141 sacksover a 44-game stretch. In those 44 games, 66.5 of the 141 sacks camefrom the defensive ends.

Among his pupils at defensive end,Terrence Royal went on to setUSF’s career sack record and tie the single season mark after he hadthree sacks in the 2005 Meineke Car Care Bowl.

Working well with defensive coordinator Wally Burnham, Rachelstresses a complete defensive game from his players, demanding a strongskill set for defending the run and pass.

Before taking over the ends in 2001, Rachel held together a USFsecondary that saw a position switch for Anthony Henry (DallasCowboys/Cleveland Browns) from free safety to cornerback and acareer-ending injury to Jay Mize, Henry’s replacement at safety, whichin turn forced starting strong safety Roy Manns to move to free safety.Henry would prove a smashing success at corner, leading to his fourthround selection in the NFL Draft, and Joe Morgan stepped up at strongsafety, 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), NorthDakota (1989) North Carolina State (1983-85) and Morehead State(1978), was most recently the offensive line coach at Fort ScottCommunity College prior to joining USF.

The USF job is a homecoming of sorts for Rachel, who began hiscoaching career as the head coach at Tampa’s Chamberlain High Schoolfrom 1969-73. He then moved on to the University of Tampa as thesecondary coach for the 1974 season, before that program disbandedand he worked as an assistant at Tampa King High School in 1975.

Following one season at King, he moved permanently into the col-lege ranks as the defensive coordinator at

Morehead State, where he earned a master’s degree in 1977, Rachelearned his bachelor’s degree from Parsons College in Fairfield, Iowa in1969.

Now in his sixth season on the USF staff, Rod Smith enters his second yearas the offensive coordinator. In his first four years, Smith was pass game coordi-nator and quarterbacks coach. Smith, who had worked with up-tempo offensesat West Virginia and Clemson, helped install a no-huddle, spread offense at USFwhen he arrived in 2001.The task at hand for Smith is to help develop a consis-tent 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 beenan 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 up5,777 passing yards, including the top two single season passing numbers in theprogram’s seven years of football. Nationally, the Bulls ranked 22nd (2002) and32nd (2003) in passing. Efficiency has also been a trademark of the passinggame.The Bulls threw just five interceptions in 2002, only three of which camefrom Blackwell among his 403 pass attempts. In fact, Blackwell ranked numberone in the nation in interception percentage, and the Bulls ranked first national-ly in turnover margin, largely due to so few offensive turnovers.

Also a trademark for the USF offense is the broad array of choices in thefour and five-receiver sets. In 2002, seven different players had at least 15 recep-tions, 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 ofrunning 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 quarter-back coach position at West Virginia following his one-year stay on the Clemsonstaff in 2000. But even before settling in at West Virginia, Smith opted to accepta role with USF.

Smith’s coaching career began in 1998, when he was the quarterback coachfor Urbana (Ohio) University, where he helped with an offense that broke everyschool 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. Hecoached an all-conference quarterback in five straight seasons, and ESPN.comnamed 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 betweenhis college graduation and joining Urbana. During his tenure at Franklin, theteam 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 champi-onship 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 UrbanaUniversity in 2000.

PENN STATE 23, USF 13BEAVER STADIUM • UNIVERSITY PARK, PA.SEPTEMBER 3, 2005 • 3:30 P.M.USF 0-1, PENN STATE 1-0

Down 17-0 at Penn State just 21 seconds into the second quarter, the USF football team fought back in front of 99,235fans, but didn’t have enough offensively and eventually fell 23-13 in the 2005 season opener for both teams. It was also USF’sdebut 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 yardsmidway through the first quarter. But on the very next series, USF quarterback Courtney Denson, making his first careerstart, fumbled on a scramble and Penn State’s Alan Zemaitas scooped up the loose ball on the bounce and ran in from 16yards 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 seriesended with a deflected interception at the Bulls’ 13-yard line and Penn State made it 17-0 four plays later on a one-yardrun 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 just2:00. 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 offensecouldn’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 quarterbackMichael 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 upagain, 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 pointconversion.

With 2:52 left in the game, USF did recover the ensuing onside kick but were ruled to have touched the ball before itreached 10 yards and Penn State was able to run out the clock for the win.

USF 37, FLORIDA A&M 3RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM, TAMPA, FLA.SEPTEMBER 10, 2005 • 7 P.M.USF 1-1, FLORIDA A&M 0-2

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, fin-

ishing 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 fourth-

down 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.

USF 31, UCF 14RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM, TAMPA, FLA.SEPTEMBER 17, 2005 • 7 P.M.USF 2-1, UCF 0-2

Andre Hall ran for 155 yards and scored two touchdowns to help USF to a 31-14 win in this first-ever matchup betweentwo 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 one-yard run and a 26-yard reception and Ricky Ponton added a three-yard run en route to the first half lead. USF would goon 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 thethird quarter. Joe Burnett returned a punt 60 yards to the USF four-yard line and quarterback Steven Moffett ran it in onthe first play from scrimmage.

But USF halted any momentum, scoring just three minutes later when Bulls' quarterback Pat Julmiste answered Moffett'sTD with a one-yard run of his own that culminated a nine-play, 80-yard drive.The Bulls then went up 31-7 with 3:17remaining 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 of16 passes with one touchdown and no interceptions.Through the first three games of the season, Julmiste was now 37 of61 (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 USFgame (the largest in Raymond James Stadium).With 45,139 fans on hand, USF had hosted more only in its inaugural gamein 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 thirdall-time.

USF 45, NO. 9/8 LOUISVILLE 14RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM • TAMPA, FLA.SEPTEMBER 24, 2005 • 8 P.M.USF 3-1 (1-0), LOUISVILLE 2-1 (0-1)

Receiver Amarri Jackson ran for two touchdowns and threw for a third to lead USF to the biggest victory in the school'sbrief 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 aranked 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 withone of the country's most prolific offenses, but never fully got on track in losing to USF on the road for the second timein three years.

USF, which is in its ninth season, also upset Louisville two years ago in the Bulls' Conference USA debut.The Bulls andCardinals 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 TDrun 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 endon 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 struckagain when took a handoff from quarterback Pat Julmiste and tossed an 11-yard scoring pass to Derek Carter to put theBulls 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 runin 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.

NO. 9/10 MIAMI (FLA.) 27, USF 7THE ORANGE BOWL • MIAMI, FLAOCTOBER 1, 2005 • 8 P.M.USF 3-2, MIAMI 3-1

Tyrone Moss matched a career-high with three touchdowns and No. 9 Miami ended USF's hopes of springing a secondstraight 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 threeUSF 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 plungewith 8:25 left. USF avoided the shutout - which would have been the first in its 93-game history - with 5:56 left, whenJohnny 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, wasa 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 mid-

way through the second,Wright hooked up with tight end Greg Olsen for a 63-yard catch-and-run play, but USF corner-back 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 fromOlsen'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 timeresulting 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 followinga blocked punt and a fumble by Tyler Palko, only to surge back with three touchdowns in a six-minute span in the secondquarter.

Palko, who threw for 411 yards and five touchdowns in a 43-14 win over USF in Tampa last season, found Greg Lee ona 69-yard scoring pass play on the opening play of the second quarter, then hit Lee again for 41 yards to the Bulls' threefollowing a Darrelle Revis fumble recovery. Palko then threw a three-yard scoring pass to fullback Tim Murphy to make it14-10.

Another USF fumble, this one by quarterback Pat Julmiste, was recovered by J.J. Horne and returned eight yards to theBulls 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 secondquarter.

USF got back to 21-17 on a Jumiste-to-Andre Hall scoring pass play of 76 yards, but another fumble by a Bulls quar-terback, this time by backup Courtney Denson, was returned by Bernard "Josh" Lay to the Bulls eight. Palko then foundtight 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 with19 carries for 79 yards and a game-high 131 yards on seven receptions. But his big game couldn't prevent USF's second lossin 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 sec-ond 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 overan 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 a45-31 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 holdoff 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 Leonardand a four-yard scoring catch by Clark Harris.The Scarlet Knights got the ball back with 11:47 left in the game, but a fumbleby 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 cornerbackMike Jenkins intercepted a pass from Mike Teel, who replaced a shaken-up Hart. USF corner Trae Williams intercepted anoth-er Rutgers pass on the Scarlet Knights' final possession of the game before the Bulls kneeled down for three plays to end thegame.

The Bulls took control late in the opening quarter when Johnnie Jones picked off Hart and returned the interception 32yards to make it 14-0. USF needed just 86 seconds to go up by three scores.This time, Hart fumbled after being hit by defen-sive 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-timeleader 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 interceptionsand two fumble recoveries.

Running back Andre Hall rushed for 222 yards and three touchdowns, and USF beat Syracuse 27-0 to remain in thehunt 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 themiddle of the Syracuse defense for 38 yards, breaking two tackles and causing two more defenders to miss. The Orangedefense 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 byJohnnie 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 toset 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 timesand 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 ownseven.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 tohelp 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 RafaelWilliams' 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, andhe 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 theBulls' 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 twothird-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 WestVirginia 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, scoredon 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 waythrough 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

The USF football team lost its chance to play for a BIG EAST Conference title following the team's 15-10 league setback atConnecticut.

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 theHuskies' 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 WestVirginia 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 fum-bled the ball away twice, quarterback Pat Julmiste was picked off three times and an apparent 75-yard TD reception to Jackie Chamberswas 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 runof 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 nextplay 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 leadat the half.

USF threatened midway through the fourth quarter when Amarri Jackson returned a punt 37 yards to the UConn nine. But after asack, 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 athrowback 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. UConnkilled 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 fora first down in the final minute that helped the Huskies seal the win.

ing 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

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 fourthquarter.

USF had lots of success moving the ball against the BIG EAST's top-ranked defense. However, the Bulls stalled bothtimes 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 quarterbackCarlton Hill.

Even with the loss, USF accepted its first-ever bowl bid to the Meineke Car Care Bowl following the game.

NORTH CAROLINA STATE 14, USF 0 BANK OF AMERICA STADIUM, CHARLOTTE, N.C.DECEMBER 31, 2005 • 11 A.M.USF 6-6, NORTH CAROLINA STATE 7-5

Using stout defense and just enough offense to get the job done, North Carolina State capped its late-season rally witha 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, whorallied 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 nineyears 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 failedto get Andre Hall -- the BIG EAST's leading rusher -- into the end zone. Hall accounted for most of the offense, finishingwith 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 sec-ond time for the score.

Baker used several short runs to set up the second score, then gave way to Brown for the touchdown. Baker finishedwith 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 41-yard 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 PatJulmiste 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 giveit 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 quar-ter that went for a 31-yard gain when holder Brandon Baker connected with S.J. Green. But that never led to a score asUSF gained only one yard on four tries.

THE

UNIVERSITY

It serves as a vacation getaway to 30 million people a year, but to us it’shome. And what a great place it is. We revel in the kiss of the sun, the caressof the breeze and the sparkle of the turquoise water all around us. Sometimesat the end of a long winter weekend, we call our friends, who are buried undera blanket of snow, and tell them how we spent our day. Playing golf in shortsleeves. Riding in a boat. Working on the lawn. At times the temptation torub 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, togrow a business, to raise a family and to live.

Ideally located on Florida’s beautiful Gulf of Mexico coast, the Tampa Bayregion provides easy access to Gulf beaches and surrounding areas. The area’scentral location also provides access to other Florida treasures perfect for daytrips including Orlando, Daytona and Miami.

The Bay Area is a vibrant multi-cultural community. It’s such a hotbed ofdiversity that the U.S. Census Bureau named the area one of the five mostdiverse, integrated urban areas in the country. This diverse mix of homes andcultures add to the area’s high quality of life. Newcomers will find statelycharm among the older neighborhoods of South Tampa or innovative planningand 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, thebeauty of the Pinellas County and Sarasota/Bradenton beaches.

Just east of downtown Tampa,Ybor City, one of only three Florida NationalHistoric Districts, mixes the past with the present. The area, which was famousfor its flourishing cigar industry during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, isnow famous for its rich culture and exciting nightlife.

Centro Ybor, a former cigar factory itself, is now a popular spot for shop-ping and dining. Ybor City also offers art studios and Spanish-Cuban ethnicrestaurants with a true taste of the local cuisine. But the fun doesn’t stop whenthe sun goes down. At night,Ybor City comes alive with nightclubs showcas-ing the blues, jazz and rock. The area becomes a street party as music flowsinto 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 withshops, restaurants and a movie theater. No matter how you like to spend your

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 drawacclaim from visitors and critics alike. We enjoy a renownedsymphony orchestra, an exciting theater scene and culturalperformances 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 culturalevents, the area offers theme parks such as Busch Gardens andAdventure Island, professional sports, boating, year-round golfand places where families can escape to marvel at Florida’snatural majesty.

Yes, the sun does shine on us an average of 240 days ayear, but that’s only part of the picture. Just take a more indepth look at the many items that make Tampa Bay an idealplace to call home.

Sports & RecreationBaseball, football, basketball, tennis, golf, hockey…. what-

ever sport you’re looking for, we’ve got it. For spectators andparticipants alike,Tampa Bay’s mild climate and first-rate facil-

ities allow its residents and visitors to enjoy any number of sporting activitiesvirtually year-round.

Spoiled by an annual average of 240 days of sunshine and a mean tempera-ture that even in January hovers around 60 degrees,Tampa residents pursuerecreation and fitness opportunities with great enthusiasm. They go fishing,play tennis, jog, rollerblade, ride bicycles…. the list is endless. There are count-less ways to get exercise, but shoveling snow isn’t one of them.

The Tampa Bay area offers beautiful parks and recreation facilities that allowvisitors and residents to enjoy any outdoor activity they choose from a sceniccanoe ride down the charming Hillsborough River to a family football or soft-ball game at any one of the area’s neighborhood parks.

For those who just like to sit back and watch the excitement, the historicTampa Bay Downs is a perfect place to spend the day. Visitors can enjoy a dayof 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 BowlChampion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the 2004 Stanley Cup Champion TampaBay Lightning or the Tampa Bay Devil Rays of Major League Baseball,TampaBay fans can enjoy professional sports year-round. Other pro teams include thefive-time Arena Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Storm and an abundance of MajorLeague Baseball teams in Spring Training, including the New York Yankees, justa long home run away from Raymond James Stadium.

The facilities for these franchises are as first class as the many fans thatattend the various events. So much so,Tampa Bay is among only a handful ofcities 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 in2009 at Raymond James Stadium.

THE

UNIVERSITY

In just undertwo years at theUniversity ofSouth Florida,Doug Woolardhas inspired andled a number ofinitiatives thathave allowed theBulls’ program tomake a successfultransition into theprestigious BIGEASTConference.

Although USF had already accepted a bid tojoin the BIG EAST when Woolard assumed com-mand in May 2004, his tireless work to set a strongfoundation at the outset has not gone unnoticed.

The BIG EAST places the Bulls in an eliteneighborhood of programs, but Woolard set a goalupon his hiring to make USF the best program inthe conference.To do that, he has stressed theimportance of a strong partnership between staff,student-athletes and community.

Since May 2004,Woolard has led a successfuleffort to earmark a new “athletics footprint” oncampus that will allow the program to initiateefforts to build new facilities in a core area on cam-pus.As fundraising allows,Woolard will lead the staffin improving facilities for baseball, basketball, soft-ball, soccer and tennis.

Already, USF has added nearly $2 million invideo scoreboards to the Sun Dome, USF’s basket-ball arena, and Woolard has a progressive plan to re-fit the entire seating configuration in the arena.

Woolard has also been proactive in retainingsuccessful coaches, having negotiated new contractswith Jim Leavitt (football), Ken Eriksen (softball)and Jose Fernandez (women’s basketball). Leavittremains the only football coach USF has ever hadand he led the program to a bowl game in 2005 inwhat was only the ninth season of competition.Eriksen has annually led his softball program intopostseason competition and was an assistant coachfor the 2004 USA Olympic Team. Fernandez has ledthe women’s basketball program to postseason playin each of the past three years – the only suchappearances in the program’s history.

Expanded television and radio coverage for USFprograms has also been a key initiative for Woolard.In 2005, he helped complete an agreement thatallows for the most electronic media exposure inschool history. In addition to USF’s football andmen’s basketball programs upgrading to more pow-erful stations, every USF women’s basketball game isnow being aired on the radio for the first time ever.Opportunities will also exist for USF’s baseball andsoftball programs, in addition to volleyball.There isalso more television exposure through re-broadcastopportunities for all of USF’s athletic teams onBright House Networks in Tampa Bay.

In 2004 - his first year at USF and the Bulls’

final season in Conference USA – Woolard helpedbuild momentum heading into the program’s initia-tion into the BIG EAST.The women’s track, golfand softball teams earned NCAA bids and thewomen’s basketball team had its finest season everand played in a second-straight postseason tourna-ment. Men’s basketball built strong momentum atthe end of the year with upset wins over Charlotte,Houston and Cincinnati en route to the semifinalsof the Conference USA Tournament.

All of this has not been achieved without con-tinued emphasis on academics.Woolard has taken apersonal involvement in building resources that willallow USF to maintain its early success in theNCAA’s new APR (Academic Progress Rate) rank-ings.Woolard has hired Dr. Joann Nester and Dr.Amy Haworth to overseee the Academic Servicesarea and their professional backgrounds provide USFstudent-athletes with a wealth of support.Additionally,Woolard has hired the first-ever full-time Champs/Life Skills Director at USF.

Woolard’s contributions extend to the commu-nity, where he has worked hard to build on existingrelationships while opening the door for new onesas well.

Woolard’s leadership role is one he is fit toassume and one in which he has experience.

In October 1994, he assumed leadership of theSaint Louis University Department of Athletics as itsDirector and guided the program through a historicperiod that included the school’s inclusion as afounding member of Conference USA, and morerecently its acceptance of membership in theAtlantic 10 Conference.

While overseeing a department that was pro-gressive in its competitive success,Woolard alsoproved to be a large asset in a community that likeTampa Bay, presents the challenge of finding a nichewith professional football,baseball and hockey in themarket.

The Saint Louis men’sbasketball team has consis-tently ranked among the top30 in the nation in annualattendance during Woolard’sdecade at the helm.Threetimes, the program wasamong the nation’s top 10,peaking with an averageattendance of 17,708.Further, the men’s soccerprogram at Saint Louis isconsistently in the nation’stop 10 in attendance byaveraging over 2,800 fans agame in a stadium that wasconstructed for the men andwomen’s teams underWoolard’s watch.

Further enhancing thecommunity partnership,Woolard has remained com-

mitted to bringing all Billiken athletic events backon campus. In addition to constructing a new soccerstadium, Saint Louis has added a new softball facilityand nine new tennis courts on campus. Planningand fundraising are now underway to construct a$70 million on-campus multi-purpose facility whereSaint Louis can play its men and women’s basketballgames

While maintaining an outstanding department atSaint Louis,Woolard has also become a prominentfigure on national committees. Presently he is amember of the NCAA Sports Wagering Task Force,which has been charged with recommending strate-gies to counteract sports wagering by student-ath-letes. He is a past chair of the Conference USAdirectors of athletics committee and he also servedas the league’s representative on the NCAAAcademic/Eligibility/Compliance (AEC) Cabinet,where he chaired the amateurism and agents sub-committee.Woolard has also served as C-USA’salternate to the NCAA Management Council, themost powerful committee in the NCAA governancestructure.

Prior to joining Saint Louis,Woolard worked forthe nationally respected Jim Livengood atWashington State University. Under Livengood, whois now the Director of Athletics at Arizona and apast chair of the NCAA Men’s BasketballCommittee,Woolard was the associate director forexternal operations from 1989-94 after one year(1988-89) as an assistant director of athletics.

While at Washington State,Woolard was a keymember of the senior management staff that over-saw a successful football program, and he played aprominent role in the entire department’s relation-ship with the community.

Woolard and his wife, Cherrie, have two chil-dren, Chris and Amy.

The Bulls Club is charged with advancing the USFAthletics program through private philanthropic support. Aswe enter our second year of BIG EAST competition, theBulls Club is larger and stronger than ever, and its membershave been the backbone of the program’s incredible growth.These fans, friends, and alumni provide the needed resourcesso our student-athletes and coaches can write the nextchapter in Bulls history.

As investors in one of thefastest growing intercollegiateathletic programs in the country,donors are recognized for theircritical role in advancing USFathletics and receive special con-sideration for priority seating andparking at USF competitions,invitations to special events, andother benefits. The levels ofsupport from fans, friends, andalumni have continued toincrease as the level of competi-tion USF faces on the fieldbecomes more challenging. Overthe past five years, total giving to USF Athletics hasincreased more than 385 percent.

The Bulls Club has annual, capital, and endowment giv-ing goals. Annual giving, defined as annually-repeatable giftsfor operating support, seeks both to “build the base out,” byincreasing the numbers of Bulls Club donors, and to “buildthe base up,” by growing levels of investment by existingdonors. In 2005-06, Bulls Club annual giving reachedmore than $2 million, an increase of 63 percent over themark set in 2000-01, and 160 percent increase over the pre-football giving levels.

In 2005 the Iron Bulls program was established fordonors who make an extraordinary annual commitment tothe green and gold. Iron Bulls make unrestricted annualgifts of at least $10,000, and are recognized as leaders help-ing USF compete for championships at the highest levels.

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

THE

UNIVERSITY

The 2005 season began a new era of BIG EASTConference football as the University of Cincinnati,University of Louisville and University of South Floridajoined Connecticut, Pittsburgh,Rutgers, Syracuse and WestVirginia to give the league an expanded gridiron presencethat now ranges as far south at Tampa, Fla. and as far westas Louisville, Ky.

The league that quickly established itself as a nationalforce after its inception in 1991, con-tinued its success a season ago as fourschools earned trips to bowl games.West Virginia (11-1, 7-0 BIG EAST)finished the regular season unbeaten inleague play for the first time since1993 to win the 2005 BIG EASTConference title. Earning the BIG

EAST’s automatic Bowl Championship Series bid,West Virginia repre-sented the conference in the 2006 Nokia Sugar Bowl in Atlanta. TheMountaineers defeated Georgia, 38-35, to finish the year fifth in thefinal 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 per-centages of any BCS conference in bowl games. BIG EAST Conference teams are 16-13in postseason play since 2000.

The BIG EAST has been a frequent contender for the national championship. Eighttimes in the league’s 15 seasons a BIG EAST squad has been in a bowl game, playing for aclaim to the national crown.

The BIG EAST has always been proud of its football student-athletes for their academ-ic achievements. In 2005, West Virginia’s Jay Henry was named an ESPN The MagazineAcademic All-America First Team performer as selected by CoSIDA. In addition, sevenleague players earned Academic All-District honors. Henry and teammates Dan Mozes andGavin Justice, as well as Connecticut’s Rhema Fuller and Rutgers’ Brian Leonard and RyanNeill earned first team accolades. Louisville’s Brian Brohm and Cincinnati’s Earnest Jacksongarnered 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 from2002-03. 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 thefield and with its television and bowl relationships. The BIG EAST has been a charter mem-ber of each of the major bowl agreements with the major conferences, beginning with TheBowl Coalition in 1992 followed by The Bowl Alliance in `95. The Bowl ChampionshipSeries began in `98. Recently, it was announced that the BIG EAST will continue as anautomatic 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 hadplayed a game. The BIG EAST Television Network immediately was the largest regionalcollege football network in the country.

The BIG EAST has television agreements with ABC and ESPN that run through the2007 season. Both agreements ensure that ABC or ESPN telecasts a BIG EAST game vir-tually every week of the year.

ESPN Regional Television owns broadcasting rights for all telecasts not assigned to ABCor ESPN. ERT, which took over for the BIG EAST Network in 1996, produces and dis-

tributes additional games, including a BIG EAST Gameof the Week, through syndication, local markets and pay-per-view.

The BIG EAST has always aligned itself with presti-gious bowl games. The league champion plays in theTostitos Fiesta, FedEx Orange, Allstate Sugar or RoseBowls as part of its membership in the BowlChampionship Series.

In a first-of-its-kind collaboration among Division Iconferences and football bowl partners, the BIG EASTand Big 12 Conferences — along with the University ofNotre Dame — have together forged a bowl partnership

beginning in 2006 that will assure both BCS Conferences’ and Notre Dame’s participationin the Toyota Gator Bowl and Vitalis Sun Bowl over a four-year period. In years whenselecting a BIG EAST team, the Toyota Gator Bowl or Vitalis Sun Bowl will have the firstpick after the BIG EAST’s representative to the Bowl Championship Series has been deter-mined.The Atlantic Coast Conference will provide the opposition in the Toyota Gator Bowland 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 in2006, 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 theHouston Bowl and will meet an opponent from the Big 12 Conference beginning in the2006 season. On April 27, the NCAA Bowl Certification Committee gave the HoustonBowl a 60-day extension before making a decision on certification.The Houston Bowl isplayed at the state-of-the-art Reliant Stadium in Houston,Texas.

The BIG EAST Conference has also aligned itself with two new bowls – theInternational Bowl in Toronto, Ontario, and the Birmingham Bowl in Birmingham,Ala.Thetwo bowls were approved by the NCAA Bowl Certification Committee on April 27. Thenew agreements currently give the BIG EAST a total of six bowl deals. In the InternationalBowl, the BIG EAST will meet a team from the Mid-American Conference. In theBirmingham Bowl, the BIG EAST will play a team from Conference USA. TheInternational Bowl will be played in the Rogers Centre on Jan. 6. The Birmingham Bowlwill be played at Legion Field on Dec. 23. Both games will be televised by ESPN orESPN2.

RECORDS&HISTORY

NFL Director of Operations Gene Washington took to the podiumSunday 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 SouthFlorida football program had progressed since its start-up in 1996.

Just after 11 a.m.,Washington announced that the New England Patriotshad 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 whatwill remain among the top trivia questions in USF history.The Patriotsmade Jones the first NFL draft choice ever from USF.

But Washington wasn’t done with the study in USF success. He quicklystepped back to the podium and announced,“with the second pick of thefourth 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 thisSouth Florida program.When he took to the podium to announce thethird pick of the fourth round, he seemed almost mystified when heannounced,“this must be some kind of record...

“With the third pick of the fourth round, the Arizona Cardinals selectplacekicker 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 Leavittliterally 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 programsince 1996, the excitement of the NFL Draft and ensuing free agent sign-ings continues to show how quickly USF football has climbed into BCSstatus,

Perhaps Shawn Hay, an original member of the program and one of justthree Bulls to play in each of the 44 games through the program’s first fouryears sums up the progress best.

“This just shows how far USF has come,” he said upon signing with theSan Francisco 49ers in 2001 before playing in NFL Europe in 2002.“Thishas opened some eyes and put us on the map.

“Just think, (in 1997) we were nervous to be playing against KentuckyWesleyan (in the program’s first-ever game). Now we’re at this point. It’smind boggling.”

In 2003, minds had more to digest as three more USF players ñ KawikaMitchell (Kansas City Chiefs), Shurron Pierson (Oakland Raiders) andDeAndrew Rubin (Green Bay Packers) - were drafted. Mitchell, a line-backer, was taken in the second round, making him the highest-ever draftchoice from USF.

And in 2004, J.R. was a fourth round pick by Philadelphia and becamethe fourth USF player to be on a Super Bowl roster, along with KenyattaJones and Scott McCready (New England) and Ryan Benjamin (TampaBay).
