BULLS FOOTBALL

GAME DAY AT ECUUSF will hit the road for the first time in a more than a month to play its first AAC road game at ECU. USF has never lost in three previous games in Greenville. The Bulls’ No. 17 ranking is their highest since Week 6 of the 2011 season.n ON AN AAC ROLL: USF is 14-3 in AAC games over the last three seasons and has won five straight AAC games and five of its last six AAC road games. USF is 4-0 in AAC road openers, including winning 45-20 at Cincinnati last year. n MOST SUCCESSFUL ERA: USF’s 22 wins over the last 26 games mark the winningest period (84.6%) in program history. With at least seven games remaining in 2017, the Bulls have 23 wins in the most recent three seasons and are just three wins shy of equaling their most-ever over three seasons (26, 2006-08) in program history. n ONE OF HOTTEST TEAMS IN THE NATION: USF’s 9-game win streak is the third longest active streak in the nation and the Bulls’ 22-4 record over the last 26 games ranks tied as the fourth best record in the nation over that period.n 30-POINT SCORING STREAK REACHING RECORD LENGTH: USF has scored 30 or more points in 21 straight games, the longest active streak in the nation. The Bulls are quickly closing on the longest such streak in the AP Poll (1936) era now trailing only Oregon (23, 2011-12), Oklahoma State (22, 2010-12) and Hawaii (22, 2006-07).n DEFENSIVE RESURGENCE: USF ranks 1st in the nation in turnovers gained and interceptions, 3rd in rushing defense, 13th in total defense and 22nd in scoring defense, a huge improvement under first-year defensive coordina-tor Brian Jean-Mary. In the last two games, 31 of 32 opponent drives have ended in six plays or less with 9 going for negative yardage and just five gaining 20 yards or more.

SCHEDULE SHUFFLE IN WAKE OF HURRICANE IRMAThe American Athletic Conference on Sept. 14 announced the rescheduling of numerous games that will allow for USF and several conference members to play a complete conference schedule in the wake of postponements caused by hur-ricanes Harvey and Irma. The changes, which involve several conference schools, will allow for the rescheduling of USF’s postponed East Division matchup with UConn as well as the playing of many other postponed conference games.

A GROWING UNIVERSITYUSF System’s total enrollment surpassed 50,000 stu-dents for the first time in the fall of 2017, now with 50,577 students currently enrolled across the three separately ac-credited institutions: USF Tampa, USF St. Petersburg and USF Sarasota-Manatee. Serving 43,542 undergraduate and graduate students USF Tampa has seen a rise in the average high school GPA of the 2017-18 first time in col-lege (FTIC) class, from 4.08 to 4.12 this year. n This year’s class also features more students who graduated in the top 10 percent of their high school class, including 50 percent for USF Tampa.n USF is home to students from all 67 Florida counties, all 50 states and more than 145 countries, the USF System continues to admit a very diverse student body.



CHARLIE STRONG NAMED HEAD COACHUSF Director of Athletics Mark Harlan announced the appointment of Charlie Strong as the fourth head coach in USF football program history on Dec. 11, 2016. Strong took over the program following USF’s Birmingham Bowl appearance. A two-time Big East Coach of the Year and a vital part of two national championships at the University of Florida, Strong served head coaching stints at the University of Texas (2014-16) and the University of Louisville (2010-13). Overall, in his 34 seasons as a collegiate coach, Strong spent 15 seasons working in the state of Florida.n Strong experienced great success as a defensive coordinator in the SEC for 11 seasons, including helping the University of Florida and head coach Urban Meyer win national championships in 2006 and 2008.n As a head coach, Strong led Louisville to back-to-back Big East Championships in 2011 and 2012, and posted a 37-15 record in four seasons leading the Cardinals.n Strong’s tenure at Texas included wins over No. 10 Oklahoma (2015), No. 12 Baylor (2015) and No. 10 Notre Dame (2016) and two top-10 ranked recruiting classes.n Strong also held positions on the coaching staffs at Florida, Texas A&M (1985), Southern Illinois (1986-87), Mississippi (1990), Notre Dame (1995-98) and South Carolina (1999-2002).

NEW COACHING STAFFUSF enters 2017 with a staff that is nearly all new. The only holdover from the 2016 Bulls is Shaun King, a former Tampa Bay Buccaneer quarterback, who will coach run-ning backs under Charlie Strong after serving one season as quarterbacks coach for the Bulls. Strong brought nine members of this full-time Texas staff with him to USF, including five members of the coach-ing staff as well as Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Pat Moorer, Director of Operations Cliff Snow, Assistant Director of Operations Katharine Sawyer and Director of Player Personnel Mike Giglio. Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator Brian Jean-Mary and USF Offensive Coordinator/Quarterback Coach Sterlin Gilbert were both with Strong at Texas, as were Tight Ends Coach/Special Teams Coordinator Justin Burke, Offensive Line Coach/Run Game Coordinator Matt Mattox and Wide Receivers Coach Charlie Williams. Strong added three new members to his staff at USF, bringing Defensive Backs Coach Blue Adams from West Virginia, Defensive Tackles Coach Sean Cronin from Mar-shall and Defensive Ends Coach Damon Cogdell from Carol City High School in Miami.

QUOTABLE“Quinton Flowers is really good and will give everyone fits this season. Seems like the Bulls are figuring out how to use him. The surprise to me was how good he was as a passer. He made big play after big play with his arm. Plus, he can run too.” - Bob Asmussen - Champaign News-Gazette

“He is a stud! He is really a great football player. Powerful inside, can stop the run, but also quick enough to rush the passer” - Mack Brown, ESPN - on DT Deadrin Senat

“I don’t see any drop off at all (from last year). This team is what everyone thought it was going to be when it starts conference play.” - Mack Brown, ESPN 9.15.17

“You have to be impressed with the Bulls defense...this defense is playing really well.” - Mack Brown, ESPN 9.15.17

“He is a tough, low, hard to hit guy.” - Dave LaMont, ESPN - on D’Ernest Johnson

“The one thing I notice about South Florida, they have a lot of team speed, they can run. Anytime you have a de-fense that is athletic, they can get pressure up front, they have active tackles inside, they have a guy named Mike Love coming off the edge that can rush. I like what I see. The foundation of a very good defense is here and Charlie Strong is the captain of that.” - Booger McFarland, ESPN 9.21.17

“He may be the best blocking wide receiver in college football.” - Dave Flemming, ESPN - on Tyre McCants

“The attitude they brought tonight was ‘we are going to impose our will.’ They might be enought to carry this team.” - Joey Galloway, ESPN - on the USF defense, 9.21.17

“The defensive effort tonight on this field, in this stadium (Raymond James Stadium), reminds me of some of the defensive efforts we (the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) had.” - Booger McFarland, ESPN 9.21.17

SANCHEZ AMONG NATIONAL LEADERSSenior linebacker Auggie Sanchez has led USF in tackles each of the last two seasons while posting two of the top three season marks in USF history. His 120 tackles in 2016 were just one shy of the program record. His 303 career tackles entering 2017 ranked second nationally among all returners and were just 64 tackles shy of the USF career re-cord of 367 set by longtime NFL standout linebacker Kawika Mitchell.

nUSF (3-0) finished with the second-most yards in program history and gained 376 yards on the ground as the program logged three 100-yard rushers for the second time in its 21-year history.

The 22nd-ranked Bulls accomplished the feat against an Illinois defense that was giving up an average of just 14 points.

nMarquez Valdes-Scantling (St. Petersburg) had four catches for a career-high 96 yards, including a 17-yard touchdown recep-tion. Deangelo Antoine (Orlando) set a career high with 93 receiving yards, including his first-career TD catch from 39 yards out.

nUSF’s defense collected at least two takeaways for the third straight game with interceptions by Ronnie Hoggins (Coconut Creek, Fla.), Tajee Fullwood (Tampa) and Keirston Johnson (Jacksonville, Fla.). The Bulls now have eight interceptions on the season. USF held an opponent to less than 100 yards rushing for the second straight game. Illinois (2-1) finished with 67 rushing yards on 15 carries.

Quotable:“You look at our offense, it’s really explosive if you look at the yards, right (around) 700 and we had three 100-yard rushers… Then on defense, you had the three turnovers and then we were able to get some stops. We gave up some runs in the second half there late. We just know this, we can still improve.”- Charlie Strong

GAME 4: NO. 21/17 USF 43, TEMPLE 7RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM • TAMPA, FLA.SEPT. 21, 2017 • 7:30 P.M. • ESPNUSF 4-0, 1-0 • TEMPLE 2-2, 0-1nUSF’s relentless defense stole the show on the national stage with six takeaways – one off the school record – as the Bulls rolled to a 43-7 win over Temple behind a dominating defense in the conference opener Thursday night.

nUSF (4-0) held the Owls to just 85 total yards, marking the fourth-lowest total ever given up in a game by the Bulls and the lowest ever allowed to FBS opponent. Temple (2-2) rushed for minus-4 yards on 33 attempts and had minus-23 rushing yards through three quarters. The rushing total marked the second-fewest rushing yards given up by USF and the fewest since Rutgers totaled minus-7 yards in 2011.

n Deatrick Nichols (Miami) forced a fumble and intercepted two of USF’s four passes to help bring the Bulls’ nation-leading pick total to 12 on the season. The stellar defensive effort helped the Bulls set a program record with their ninth straight win, dating back to last season.

n Nico Sawtelle (Jensen Beach, Fla.) picked off a pass and recovered a fumble while USF limited Temple to 54 total yards through three quarters. Devin Abraham (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) posted his team-leading interception and totaled one of USF’s five sacks in the rematch with defending conference champion Temple.

nUSF’s offense generated 312 rushing yards and finished with at least two 100-yard rushers for the second straight game. Darius Tice (Miami) posted back-to-back 100-yard rushing games, finishing with 117 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries. D’Ernest Johnson (Immokalee, Fla.) also rushed for 100 yards for the second straight game with 106 yards on 24 attempts.

nQuarterback Quinton Flowers rushed for two touchdowns and became USF’s career leader with 34, passing former team-mate and current Indianapolis Colt Marlon Mack (32).

Quotable:““We played a really good opponent in Temple. You look at our performance, when you play with passion and you play with enthusiasm, then that’s the performance you’ll get. You look at us on defense, (we had) six turnovers, which is really great. It put our offense in a position to score a lot, even though we didn’t get touchdowns, we got field goals. Then you look at our kicking game, Emilio was 5-of-5.”
