2005 USF Football Media Guide by USF Bulls Athletics

USF STORYLINES BIG EAST & BCS BOUND From zero to BCS in nine years.The word “impressive” may understate USF’s ability to go from non-existence to a debut in the BIG EAST and the BCS alliance that comes with that in rapid fashion. Jim Leavitt was named the program’s first-ever head coach in December 1995, and he and his staff signed their first recruiting class in February 1996 (a class that included current Dallas Cowboy Anthony Henry, who had 10 interceptions as a rookie for Cleveland in 2001). In the fall of 1996, the squad simply practiced and held three high-profile intrasquad scrimmages at local high schools. And on September 6, 1997, the Bulls debuted for real in front of 49,212 fans in the old Tampa Stadium.The end result? USF 80, Kentucky Wesleyan 3. In just eight seasons, the Bulls have traveled light years in terms of competition, but they have always lived up to the task. In moving from start-up to I-AA independence to I-A independence to Conference USA and now the BIG EAST, the Bulls have compiled an impressive 55-33 record. For a complete timeline of USF football, see pages 8-9.

Pittsburgh, and USF will have three road games against teams that have combined for eight Associated Press national championships. In the first seven games of the season, USF will have met Penn State, Miami and Pittsburgh on the road and Louisville and West Virginia at home. So how does Coach Leavitt feel? “I don’t say whether I like it or not. I just play the games,” he told a group of boosters this summer (as quoted by St. Petersburg Times, June 3).“It’s a pretty difficult challenge, and most people don’t think we’ll do much. But our guys are excited about playing and going after it, seeing how competitive we’ll be.”

FUTURE SCHEDULES While the BIG EAST schedules for future years remain to be set, the Bulls will continue their willingness to play BCS level football. 2006 Sept. 2 FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL Sept. 16 at UCF Sept. 23 at North Carolina 2007 Sept. 15 Sept. 22

STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE Along with the move to the BIG EAST and BCS football, USF is greet-

ed with what can easily be considered the toughest schedule in the young history of the program. Already, Sportsline.com has ranked the Bulls’ schedule the eighth toughest in the nation, and the number one schedule of all the Florida schools. In addition to the upgrade in conference opponents alone with the move from C-USA to the BIG EAST, USF faces Penn State and Miami, both on the road.Throw in a road game at the BIG EAST’s

BULLS ON THE AIR U S F

TELEVISION From its inception in 1997, the University of South Florida football program has enjoyed tremendous television exposure, including several national appearances.That exposure increases with USF’s membership in the BIG EAST Conference, which enjoys an outstanding national television contract.

F O O T B A L L

The BIG EAST’s contract with ABC and the ESPN Networks runs through the 2007 season with a minimum of four conference games on ABC and a minimum of 10 on ESPN or ESPN2. USF is already scheduled to play on ESPNU for the first time ever when the Bulls open their season September 3 at Penn State. Additionally, ESPN Regional Television, who has long been the media rights holder for USF Athletics, has the rights to broadcast all BIG EAST games not assigned to ABC or ESPN and syndicates a BIG EAST Game of the Week on Saturday mornings. Thus, an already strong partnership between USF and ESPN Regional gets even stronger in 2005.

Specific to television, ESPN Regional works with local Tampa Bay affiliates to air USF games through the BIG EAST contract. Most recently, television partnerships have been cultivated with ABC 28 and Tampa Bay’s Catch 47. In addition to game broadcasts, USF gains exposure through the weekly Jim Leavitt Show on ABC 28, which is hosted by sports anchor Al Keck and airs on Saturday mornings throughout the football season.

RADIO USF is pleased to air all 11 of its football games ñ in addition to every men’s basketball game ñ in the Tampa Bay market. Jim Louk and Mark Robinson continue to call all the football action, a role they have fulfilled since the Inaugural Season in 1997. Jim Lighthall also remains on the crew as the pre-game and post-game host, a role he has held since 1998. Louk, originally the voice of USF Basketball on the radio from 1983-97, is also the Assistant Athletics Director for Sales and Broadcasting at USF.A native of Rochester, New York and a graduate of the University of Bridgeport, Louk made the transition to football in USF’s 1997 Inaugural Season. He also hosts the weekly Jim Leavitt Radio Show throughout the season.

Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, with an office in Tampa, ESPN Regional Television, Inc. is the world’s largest supplier of syndicated college sports programming.

Robinson enjoyed a seven-year NFL career as a defensive back with the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, after earning AllAmerica and GTE Academic All-America honors at Penn State. He was a junior on Penn State’s 1982 National Championship Team, when he had nine tackles and two interceptions in the Sugar Bowl win over Georgia. Robinson was a fourth round choice of the Kansas City Chiefs in 1984.

A wholly owned subsidiary of ESPN, Inc, which is 80% owned by ABC, Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company.

In addition to his football duties on the USF Football Network, Lighthall has been the analyst on the USF Basketball Network for the past six seasons.

A growing element of ESPN Regional’s collegiate sports marketing and management business has been its University Projects Division.This division represents multi-media rights on behalf of four universities, including USF. Other projects include Kansas, Oregon and TCU. Utilizing its expertise in the production, distribution and development of collegiate marketing rights, ESPN Plus works with USF to enhance the value of its numerous sports marketing opportunities. ESPN Plus assists USF in its television and radio production & syndication, advertising sales, in-stadium marketing, signage and video board advertising, local market promotions, event & game day management, and ticket sales strategies and implementation.

RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM U S F F O O T B A L L

Whether it’s on the natural grass field that is envied by every NFL player outside of Tampa Bay, in the plush fan seating areas, or the spacious club facilities and comfortable press box, the impression of Raymond James Stadium - Home of the USF Bulls - is impressive and immediate.The entire facility takes state-of-the-art up a notch. Raymond James Stadium - also home to the 2003 Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the annual Outback Bowl - is a $168.5 million facility which opened September 20, 1998 with a Tampa Bay Buccaneers game against the Chicago Bears.Two weeks later, the Bulls debuted in their new home with a 45-6 win over Citadel, in front of 32,598 fans. The Bulls have continued to enjoy a winning edge in Raymond James, building a 35-8 record since 1998, including one streak of 21 straight victories at home. Tampa Bay hosted its third Super Bowl, and it’s first in Raymond James Stadium, in 2001 and the stadium also serves as an outstanding venue for outdoor concert acts. The facility also continues a proud tradition as the finest natural grass surface in the country.The bermudasodded field in the former Tampa Stadium - home to Super Bowls XVIII and XXV - earned annual recognition from the NFL Players Association as the league’s finest field, and the recognition has continued at Raymond James Stadium, which has affectionately

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

USF IN THE COMMUNITY U S F

The student-athlete experience at the University of South Florida is enhanced by the involvement of Bulls from every sport in activities that support and aid the Tampa Bay community and its residents. In addition to their studies, practices and games, USF student-athletes take great pride in making an impact in the lives of the young and old alike. The football Bulls join with athletic department staff and studentathletes from throughout USF’s 18-sport athletic program to form a solid base in the Tampa Bay community.

F O O T B A L L Defensive Tackle Therrimann Edwards recruits a new Bulls’ fan at Shriners Hospital

Since 1998-99, the “USF StudentAthlete Speakers Bureau” has seen student-athletes visit local recreation centers and speak to youth about the importance of staying in school and how that, plus athletics, has personally aided USF

student-athletes in their quests to receive an education. USF Football began involvement with Habitat For Humanity in 2004, with Coach Leavitt and 50 players helping build a home in Wimauma. Student-athletes are also involved in activities such as “Paint Your Heart Out” where staff and student-athletes are split into two groups to

One group prepares the home for painting while the second handles the painting duties. “USF Sports Day” is an annual event where Bull student-athletes, coaches and athletic department staff invite over 400 area underprivileged youth to spend a day on campus to participate in various varsity sporting events while taking advantage of USF’s state-of-the-art facilities. USF student-athletes and coaches handle the event from start to finish from working with the kids one-on-one to setting up and serving lunch. USF’s female student-athletes are also involved in the “National Girls and Women in Sports Day” when they visit local schools and speak to female students about the impact athletics has had on their lives and the opportunities - like college scholarships - athletics can provide, provided the students stay in and do well in school. USF student-athletes were also popular visitors to those students who participated in the Hillsborough County Parks and Recreation Center “Reading Incentive Program.” In conjunction with Hillsborough County Schools, Bull student-athletes have breakfast with those students who have reached reading goals. Children at the Shriner’s Hospital, located on the USF campus, also look forward to visits from USF student-athletes. USF belongs to the community and Bull student-athletes know their visibility and consistent constructive activity is a key to having the community realize their commitment to it.

THE OUTLOOK

BIG EAST Debut is Just the Latest Peak in USF’s Rapid Ascent

U S F

Chances are nobody affiliated with the University of South Florida football program has ever had the opportunity to drive the McLaren F1, generally considered to be the world’s fastest car. But USF’s rise from non-existence to BCS level football in its 2005 debut in the BIG EAST has been remarkably fast in its own right. It was in December 1995 that Jim Leavitt was named the first-ever head coach at USF and on September 6, 1997 the Bulls took the field in an intercollegiate game. After four seasons in I-AA, the Bulls moved to I-A football in 2001, Conference USA in 2003 and now the BIG EAST in 2005.

O U T L O O K

From zero to BCS in eight seasons of football! But even a McLaren requires an occasional tune-up. Despite USF’s impressive 55-33 record in eight seasons, the reality is that the Bulls must regroup after a 4-7 record in 2004. It was a season that ended with a 43-14 loss to a new BIG EAST foe Pittsburgh. Still, Leavitt wasn’t reluctant to address the BIG EAST challenge, even immediately following that Pittsburgh loss. “Honestly, I’m not saying this as a coach that wants to be positive,” said Leavitt.“I think we can be competitive right away. I really do. I feel like we’ve got a heck of a team going into the BIG EAST. I feel very good about it. “The key right now is our offense has to get better, we know that. But our defense last year (2003) was 17th in the country, the year before (2002) we were 17th in the country.We have lost a number of defensive players and we knew we were going to be young on defense (in 2004). I think the key right now – I know the key is – if we come out and play defense, we’ll be competitive right away. I feel good about it, I really do. I really think we have a real shot to change this thing quickly. I’m pretty optimistic about things, and I understand. I’ve been around the block a little bit. I’ve been in some tough situations. At Kansas State, we weren’t really the strongest program right away, and we ended up as a pretty good team. It’s not a senior team that’s leaving (at Linebacker Stephen Nicholas is the USF). It’s a young top returning tackler for the Bulls and group. an all-conference type player.

“Defense has to be our main emphasis.We’ve got to make sure we do a great job on defense. I know that’s the deal. For us to be competitive in the BIG EAST, we’ve got to play defense. End of story. I feel like we’ve got the talent here.” Leavitt and his staff stressed those points throughout a spring season that he came away from with more positive feelings, suggesting it was one of the more physical springs that USF has undergone, and for the most part, guys were playing hard and with lots of emotion. It will indeed be a young team that Leavitt debuts in the BIG EAST. On the 99-man preseason roster, there are 70 freshmen and sophomores. And adding to the challenge is an impressive schedule for any team in the nation, let alone an eight-year-old program playing its first season of BCS football. In the first seven games alone, USF opponents include Penn State, Miami and Pittsburgh on the road and Louisville and West Virginia at home. In playing Penn State, Miami and Pittsburgh, the Bulls face three teams that have combined to win eight AP national championships.

THE DEFENSE Leavitt’s emphasis on defense is nothing new. His background is on that side of the ball and his co-coordinators – Wally Burnham and Rick Kravitz – are tested veterans who have long shown they know how to coach. Still, the staff takes nothing for granted, especially after last season’s youth-dominated defense dropped to 77th in 2004, allowing 398.5 yards per game. But nine starters are back, plus the Bulls return lineman Tim Jones and strong safety Johnnie Jones (no relation), two experienced players who would have started in 2004 but opted for a redshirt season instead.The only starting losses are defensive tackle Lee Roy Selmon and free safety Javan Camon. Tim Jones figures to fill the Selmon slot – although he could play end as well - and sophomore Danny Verpaele, who started at strong safety as a true freshman, will move to free safety, allowing Johnnie Jones to re-assume the strong safety slot.

DEFENSIVE LINE Leavitt has long contended that you can’t have a strong defense without a strong front four.That’s where it all gets started – or doesn’t get started. With that in mind, Leavitt is confident this year’s front four will be much improved over last season, due in large part to the return of Tim Jones (Sr., 6-3, 275), who could end up starting either on an end or at the defensive tackle spot vacated by Selmon. Regardless of where he lines up, he adds increased size, strength and speed to the front four and figures to be a solid candidate for all-conference honors. He opted for a redshirt season heading into his senior year, in part to gain an opportu-

nity to play in the BIG EAST. In addition to Jones, who started all 11 games in 2003 and has 7.5 career sacks, the Bulls return three ends - Terrence Royal (Sr., 6-3, 255), Tavarious Robinson (Jr., 6-4, 255) and Jon Simmons (Sr., 65, 245) – who bring starting experience to the table. Royal held down one end spot throughout the 2004 season and was USF’s top tackler among the down linemen with 40 stops, including 14 for losses with four sacks. Robinson and Simmons, meanwhile, platooned on the other end last season. A key factor in whether Jones lines up at end or tackle may hinge on the development of Jarriett Buie (So., 6-4, 240) who had to sit out last season for academics but has tremendous skills. Should he make an early impression on the end, Jones would slide into the tackle spot. Otherwise, Jones and Royal would figure to be the starting ends. Jason Allen (Sr., 6-2, 245), a sixth-year senior, also returns on the end. Allen missed last year after he tore a pectoral muscle in weight training prior to the season. In the middle of the line, if Jones stays at an end spot, Allen Cray (So., 6-0, 295) - who started more than anyone else at the nose tackle spot last season – returns and would be the likely starter. Eric Thomas (So., 6-3, 265), meanwhile, would likely become the starting defensive tackle. Antonio Searcy (Sr., 6-3, 290), another tackle who gained experience last season, has moved over to the offensive line, leaving Richard Clebert (So., 6-1, 295) to contend with Cray at nose tackle. Another sophomore tackle who hasn’t yet seen significant duty but could quickly grow into a role is Woody George (So., 6-3, 255), who would also figure in at the nose tackle slot.

LINEBACKERS Stephen Nicholas (Jr., 6-3, 225), who was on the Butkus Award Watch List in 2003 leads the return of five of the top six linebackers from a year ago. Although Nicholas can play any of the three linebacker spots with the complete confidence of the coaching staff, he’ll most likely line up this season on the strong side. He brings back 97 tackles from a year ago, including 11 for losses. Patrick St. Louis (Jr., 6-1, 220), who started all 11 games last season, is another versatile linebacker, having opened six games in the middle and the remaining five on the weak side. But with Ben Moffitt (So., 6-2, 235) expected to take over the starting status in the middle, and Ronnie McCullough (So., 6-1, 230) emerging on the weak side, St. Louis heads into the fall as an outstanding utility linebacker who can fill in wherever needed and can’t be ruled out to win a starting job somewhere. Moffitt returns with his Conference USA all-freshman honors, looking to build on that impressive debut, while McCullough also had a rookie season worthy of such status even though he didn’t win the recognition. His two starts last year came in the middle, but he’ll make the move to weak side this year. Josh Balloon (So., 6-0, 220) is yet another solid member of the unit who made an impression as a rookie. He heads into the fall as a backup to Moffitt in the middle.

LINEBACKERS

Although Josh Julmiste (Fr., 6-6, 260) ended up leaving school last year before the season, he is similar to Buie on the end, in that if he develops as quickly as coaches think he may be able to, he could become an immediate contributor. He also provides versatility similar to Jones, in that he can play either inside or on an end along the front four. He’s also similar to Jones in the sense that he has good size, strength and speed.

The secondary may be the deepest spot on the USF roster when it comes to shear numbers, but it is also the most youthful with 14 freshmen and sophomores among the 18 players. Still, it will be two seniors – D’Juan Brown (5-11, 175) and Johnnie Jones (6-3, 215) – who will lead the unit. One objective to be sure will be to get the defense back to the ballhawking style that had been customary to Bulls’ football prior to last season when the defense had an all-time low four interceptions. Fortunately, three of those four were returned for touchdowns. A year ago, the biggest defensive hole to fill was at free safety, where J.R. Reed evolved into a Philadelphia Eagles draft choice. Reed had epitomized the ball-hawking grit of USF defenses better than anyone in his three years as a starter when he had 18 interceptions. Now just a year removed from having to replace Reed, the Bulls need to fill the free safety spot again as Javan Camon was a senior last year and had just that one final season as a starter.

Danny Verpaele (So., 5-11, 185), an honorable mention Freshman AllAmerican at strong safety last year, will move into the slot with Johnnie Jones now starting in his natural strong safety position.Verpaele had 57 tackles in 2003 and despite his inexperience, he impressed with his quick transition to the college game. Now he faces another transition to The return of defensive lineman free safety, where he Tim Jones is certain to improve the figures to be backed up Bulls’ defense in 2005. by converted quarterback Louis Gachette (Fr., 6-3, 205) and Carlton Williams (Fr., 63. 205), two athletic redshirt freshmen who impressed throughout the past spring.Williams should also see plenty of action as a nickel back.

U S F O U T L O O K

Jones, who saw plenty of work in his first three seasons before a redshirt year, is a physical player at strong safety and looks forward to closing out his career in USF’s BIG EAST debut season. He figures to get support work from Purdue transfer Jeremy Burnett (Jr., 6-1, 190). On the corners, D’Juan Brown, Trae Williams (So., 5-10, 185) and Mike Jenkins (So., 6-0, 200) all return with starting experience. Brown, the most experienced member of the crew, figures to lead the group after returning from a late-season broken arm in 2003. Williams and Jenkins have both flashed signs of outstanding abilities at the position and now look to build on their consistency.With Brown and Williams heading into spring as the starters (although Jenkins could challenge), sophomore A.J. Brant (So., 6-1, 190) is also a capable option.

OFFENSE In its brief history, USF has established an offense built around the passing game with constant three, four and even five-receiver sets. But in 2004, that look changed somewhat – mainly with the emergence of junior college transfer Andre Hall at running back. Hall set a slew of new USF rushing records and gave opposing defenses a new look when they faced the Bulls. Unfortunately, the passing game was not up to normal USF standards and the offense often became one-dimensional. Returning to the passing success characteristic of USF football between 1999-2002 while continuing to allow Hall to showcase his abilities will be the challenge for the USF offense this season. By way of comparison, in 2002, when Marquel Blackwell was in his fourth year as the starting quarterback, the Bulls threw on 48.2% of their plays. In 2004, that figure was down to 40.5%. Again, Hall’s success on the ground played a part in that, but the hope is he could be even more productive with a more consistent passing game to keep defenses honest. Rod Smith, who has been elevated to offensive coordinator this year, and the offensive staff have plenty of returning talent to work with, including eight starters from a year ago. However, all three of the lost starters are on the offensive line, automatically making that a key area if the offense is to improve. Still, as always, quarterback is the most crucial position. And although starter Pat Julmiste returns, the job has clearly been thrown open to competition.

QUARTERBACKS Julmiste (Jr., 6-3, 220) went through the spring with the number one label, but the coaching staff made it clear that there will be healthy competition from Auburn transfer Courtney Denson (So, 5-11, 200), and perhaps even incoming recruit Carlton Hill (Fr., 6-3, 215). While Julmiste has the heavy benefit of experience in the USF system and a stronger arm, Denson would provide a more mobile and athletic option. Denson looked like a contender throughout last season when he sat out the mandated NCAA transfer season and into the spring before an ankle sprain forced him to sit out the spring game. But he heads into the fall healthy and ready to compete for the starting role. Leavitt has always remained confident in Julmiste’s abilities, but he and the coaching staff are looking for more consistency than has been displayed thus far. Most of all, the staff would like one quarterback to step up and absolutely proclaim the job to be his by way of his performance. Denson, who was recruited by USF out of Miami when he originally signed with Auburn, is getting his chance at his natural quarterback slot with the Bulls after having been moved to defensive back with the Tigers. Leavitt spelled out what he likes in Denson during spring drills, noting,“I like who he is. He’s got a great attitude. He’s working hard. He’s very serious, not playing around, and that’s important to me.” Hill provides another twist to the competition with outstanding athleticism that may need to be utilized somehow, someway in his true freshman season.While Hill is clearly at USF to play quarterback, appearances elsewhere on the offense – even in his rookie season - can’t

be ruled out in an effort to get the best talent on the field. Anthony Severino (So., 6-2, 185) and incoming recruit Matt Grothe (Fr., 6-1, 190) are two more available options at quarterback. Severino impressed some during the spring practices and saw extensive action in the spring game. Grothe, meanwhile, brings outstanding prep credentials, including his distinction as the Old Spice Red Zone Player of the Year for the state of Florida.

RUNNING BACKS Clearly the biggest returning bright spot for the Bulls is Andre Hall (Sr., 5-10, 205), who set new school records for rushing (1,357), rushing touchdowns (11) and total touchdowns (12). A junior college AllAmerican, Hall spent his first NCAA season at USF in 2004 and went on to earn first team all-Conference USA honors. Although he considered departing for the NFL Draft, he eventually opted to give the Bulls a final season in 2005. USF has traditionally run one-back sets, but Ricky Ponton (Fr., 511, 205) has given the coaching staff plenty of confidence that he’ll be a capable backup to Hall and an eventual successor.There could even be times when the two share the backfield as USF looks for ways to utilize Ponton’s talents. Leavitt and staff also liked what they saw from Chad Simpson (Fr., 5-10, 190) throughout the spring and he can’t be ruled out as a key contributor in the backfield either. When utilizing a fullback, the Bulls most often move tight end Mike Ruegger (Sr., 6-2, 240) into the spot, where he has proven to be a very capable blocker. But converted defensive lineman Siaosi Uhatafe (So., 6-2, 245) impressed throughout the spring as a blocking back and should see duty in that spot this fall.

RECEIVERS USF does return four of the top five receivers from a year ago, but

none of them had more than 22 catches in 2004.While it’s not unusual to spread the ball around to all the receivers in the USF offense, the staff will look for individual receivers to step up their production. Johnny Peyton (So., 6-5, 200), S.J. Green (Jr., 6-3, 220), Jackie Chambers (So., 5-11, 185) and Travis Lipp (Sr., 5-11, 175) are the top returning players, while redshirt Marcus Edwards (Fr., 5-11, 175) and transfer Darren Haliburton (Jr., 6-3, 205) provide quality newcomers and depth. Peyton and Green were co-leaders with 22 receptions in 2004, although Peyton was the more adept candidate to stretch defenses with a 21.3 average reception, compared to 11.9 for Green. Still, each plays a key role in helping improve the USF passing game this season, and along with Chambers, who caught 14 passes with two touchdowns in his true freshman season, they may be looked to for leadership on a very youthful corps. Among the newcomers, coaches may be most excited about Taurus Johnson (Fr., 6-1, 190) who has an ability to stretch defenses similar to Peyton. But other intriguing options are available with Amarri Jackson (So., 6-5, 195), Cedric Hill (Fr., 6-3, 240), and Jessie Hester, Jr. (Fr., 6-0, 170). Jackson is an outstanding athlete, yet one who hasn’t played football in more than a year after opting to play basketball in junior college. And Hill, who had originally signed to play at Miami, will be able to line up as either a tight end or at wide-out for the Bulls, presenting different looks for defenders. Hester has the benefit of learning the ropes from his father, Jessie, who was a star receiver for Florida State before he was drafted in the first round by the Raiders and spent several seasons in the NFL. Further, receiver is a position that may be suited for cameo appearances from freshman quarterback Carlton Hill in an effort to get him on the field to utilize his athleticism.

OFFENSIVE LINE With center Alex Herron and tackles Levi Newton and Derrick Sarosi all gone and pursuing a potential NFL career, the Bulls are faced with establishing three new starters in 2004. Fortunately, even with those three losses, USF can still draw from experienced linemen. At center, John Miller (Sr., 6-0, 275), a platoon starter at both

guard and center in the past, seems a very capable replacement for Herron. And while there’s inexperience at the tackle spots, the staff feels that three players – Jerome Springfield (So., 6-8, 320), Marc Dile (Fr., 6-4, 275) and Walter Walker (So., 6-5, 295) – have the tools to replace Newton and Sarosi.

U S F O U T L O O K

Brandon Baker enters his third season as the Bulls punter.

Springfield and Dile head into the fall as the likely starters, but any two of the four could find them-

selves in a starting lineup from week-to-week. Meanwhile, guards Frank Davis (Sr., 6-4, 310) and Chris Carothers (Sr., 6-3, 300) return as experienced starters.The pair figures to have quality backup from redshirt freshmen Jake Griffin (Fr., 6-4, 300) and Matt Huners (Fr., 6-3, 290), who have each impressed their coaches in their early development. In fact, Davis could also play at tackle if one of the freshmen develop into a consistent starter. Griffin may be used as a backup and spot starter at center and guard, much like Miller has done over the past three years, and Nick Capogna (So., 6-3, 255) also seems a capable backup at center.

TIGHT ENDS With the exception of USF’s first two seasons ever (1997-98) when Trevor Hypolite was a key factor as a receiving tight end, the Bulls have relied on the position for blocking purposes. But that could change with

the deepest talent the Bulls have ever seen at the position. And all six of the prospects have solid receiving skills to go with their blocking abilities. Will Bleakley (Jr., 6-3, 240), Derek Carter (Sr., 6-4, 240) and Mike Ruegger (Sr., 6-2, 240) all return with lengthy experience in the USF offense and all have proven they can contribute. The most intriguing prospect may be Cedric Hill (Fr., 6-3, 240) who not only brings great size to the position, but he also has enough speed and athleticism that he can move outside the tight end slot as well. While Bleakley, Carter and Ruegger enjoy the experience factor and Hill lends versatility, the two true freshmen cannot be left out of the mix. USF coaches are confident that Ben Busbee (Fr., 6-4, 240) and Shane McElwain (Fr., 6-5, 255) will rapidly develop into contributors to the USF offense.

SPECIAL TEAMS This is actually one of Leavitt’s top concerns.The Bulls will need to replace Santiago Gramatica and Justin Geisler, who have shared placements and kickoffs through the past four years, as well as four-year long snapper Justin Daniel. In the spring, walk-on kicker Kyle Bronson (Fr., 6-0, 190) has been the leading candidate, but signee Mike Benzer (Fr., 5-8, 185) will get a shot this summer.Whoever wins the spot will be the first nonGramatica to handle placements in seven years. Prior to Santiago Gramatica (2001-04), the Bulls relied on his older brother Bill (19982000). At long snapper, USF feels it has a replacement for Daniel in Ryan Bourdeau (Jr., 6-0, 250), who actually handled the chores at Louisville last season when Daniel missed the only game in his four-year career with a concussion. “Kicking and snapping are so important,” says Leavitt,“and they’re really my biggest concerns this spring. Field position is so important and it can really change your whole strategy when you’re missing kicking and snapping.We saw that last year when Santiago Gramatica missed the final few games (groin pull) and at Louisville when we changed our punt alignments with a new snapper. It can really impact field position.” There is a comfort zone at punter, where Brandon Baker (Sr., 6-4, 220) returns for his third season as the starter. Baker has consistently had a strong leg throughout his career and has progressed each year in situational punts. While the Bulls don’t necessarily list a backup to Baker, receiver Travis Lipp is actually a solid choice for that role and incoming freshman Benzer has also punted.

Trae Williams and Andre Hall return as solid choices for kick returns, and although Jackie Chambers has proven capable on punt returns, USF will also give newcomer Amarri Jackson a look in that spot.

THE COACHES

Jim Leavitt -

Head Coach

he left for Missouri in 1974 and he has been emphatic in his desire to stay. “I can see myself coaching at South Florida until I retire,” says Leavitt.“Then I can buy season tickets and sit in the stands and watch the Bulls play on Saturdays.”

T H E

After the first eight seasons of USF Football, Leavitt has proven only further that he was indeed the right man for the right job at the right time. Charged with fast tracking a program from non-existence to Division I-A football in just five years time, Leavitt has led the program to an impressive 55-33 record. A mega-success in the first four years at the I-AA level (24 straight weeks in national polls), Leavitt and crew moved to I-A in 2001 and went 8-3, including a 35-26 win at Pittsburgh.

C O A C H E S

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

In 2002, his team finished 9-2 and seriously contended for a Bowl Game, even as an Independent.The Bulls are also received votes in both major polls and ranked 18th

With apologies to Thomas Wolfe, Leavitt has already proven that you can indeed go home again, having returned to his Tampa Bay roots to oversee the most successful start-up of a college football program in decades.

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

And in October 2003, Leavitt signed a new contract that keeps him at USF through 2009, meaning that since his hire in 1997, he will have initiated the football program, developed it into a I-A member in Conference USA and ushered it into the BIG EAST Conference and the BCS in 2005.

Having blazed yet another milestone in directing the program into its first-ever season in Conference USA in 2003, Leavitt and his squad now move into the BIG EAST after two C-USA seasons. Along with four wins against C-USA foes in 2002, a year before becoming a league member, the Bulls were 12-8 against C-USA opponents.

Having been “forced” to leave the state to play collegiate football and baseball in the mid-1970s, the new contract solidifies Leavitt’s longstanding declaration that he has no intentions of leaving again.When he returned home in 1996 to lead the fledgling USF program, it was for the first time since

Leavitt’s success has extended beyond league play as he reached his 50th career win faster than all but five active I-A coaches. Leavitt picked up his 50th victory in his 75th game, placing him behind Bob Stoops

(Oklahoma), Philip Fulmer (Tennessee), John Robinson (UNLV), Joe Paterno (Penn State) and Lloyd Carr (Michigan). Leavitt’s profile foretold of the success to come at USF, even as he was hired for the job on December 12, 1995, exactly one week following his 39th birthday. “Leading the USF football program is much more than just a job,” said Leavitt when he was hired.“And it is much more than a task at hand. It is something that is a major part of my life, and it will always be that. I am going to do everything I can to build a program without illusions, without cutting corners, doing things the right way and bringing in coaches with character.” Leavitt also speaks a lot about the “being home” factor. “Shortly after I was hired, I was speaking with Brigham Young coach LaVell Edwards,” recalls Leavitt.“He told me that throughout his years at BYU, he had plenty of opportunities to move on to what some might perceive to be better coaching jobs. But, he told me,‘I never left, and you know why I didn’t? It’s because this is my home.’ “He told me,‘Jim, you’ll never want to leave the (USF) job, because you’re going home.’” Home was a long time coming for Leavitt. It took 23 years and wound through Missouri, Iowa and Kansas. It began in 1974, when the St. Petersburg resident, and a star for Dixie Hollins High School, went off to Missouri, where he was a two-sport standout in football and baseball, earning all-Big 8 in both sports. He also won a Big 8 batting title in 1977 with a .386 average. Upon graduation in 1978, he stayed at Missouri as a graduate assistant, earning a master’s degree in 1979. After two seasons as

1st Conference USA Season

a graduate assistant, Leavitt moved to the State of Iowa, where was named defensive coordinator at the University of Dubuque in 1980, spending two years in that position, before moving to Morningside College from 1982-87, also as defensive coordinator. At both Dubuque and Morningside, Leavitt was instrumental in transforming the program to success.The Dubuque team had 40 consecutive losing seasons, but Leavitt helped the squad to an 8-2-1 record and the Division III playoffs in his first season. The situation at Morningside was similar with a long track record of losing seasons. Even in Leavitt’s first two seasons there, the squad finished 2-9 and 1-10, leading to the entire staff - except Leavitt - serving up its resignation. Leavitt assumed interim head coach duties for six months prior to the 1984 season, including the recruitment of that year’s freshmen class. It was then that Leavitt began to rely heavily on home again, even if he couldn’t be there. He decided to aggressively recruit the Sunshine State, loading the Morningside recruiting classes with Florida talent. It helped turn the program to 6-5 and then 7-3-1 in 1984 and 1985, the first back-toback winning seasons in the 28 years. Leavitt also coached the track team at Morningside, a program that had not scored a single point in its conference meet in three years when he took over. In Leavitt’s three seasons, his athletes won five AllAmerica honors, 13 conference titles and set new school records in virtually every event. In 1988, he coached a 4x100 relay team that finished fourth in the nation and he won North Central Conference Coach of the

Year honors. Following his five seasons with Morningside, Leavitt went full force after a Ph.D. in psychology, something he had been pursuing sporadically since 1982. By 1989, he simply needed to complete his dissertation, when Iowa head coach Hayden Fry

offered him a graduate position.With the coaching bug, Leavitt took the opportunity and fast tracked a career in I-A football coaching. After just one season with Iowa, Leavitt was named to Bill Snyder’s staff at Kansas State in 1990, when that program had just

While that ethic has followed Leavitt everywhere, a story from Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa is as good as any in proving the point.

because there really was no model.We were starting a program and the one thing we knew was that our track was going to be fast.”

As the defensive coordinator in 1985, Leavitt drove from Iowa to St. Petersburg, Fla. to meet a recruit at Lakewood High School for a 9 p.m. meeting. Leavitt pulled a projector out of the trunk of his car, groped in the dark to find a power outlet outside the gym, threw a beach towel over a chair and proceeded to show the recruit Morningside game films. In the two weeks surrounding that one visit, Leavitt put 2,500 miles on his Chrysler LeBaron.

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

The Lakewood recruit ended up a starter at Morningside and never regretted following Leavitt back to Sioux City.

Leavitt doesn’t hide the fact that he has taken a carbon copy of the building strategies at both Iowa and Kansas State in building the start-from-scratch program at USF. been tabbed the “worst in America” by Sports Illustrated. Snyder, who was a coaching disciple of Iowa’s Fry, was in his second season at K-State, when he asked Leavitt to coach the linebackers. The following year, Leavitt was promoted to co-defensive coordinator and he was instrumental in building a defense that joined Snyder’s offense in a quick and effective turnaround that had Sports Illustrated calling K-State the most improved team in the nation by 1993. And now, Kansas State has assumed a regular spot in the nation’s top 10. In Leavitt’s five years at Kansas State, the Wildcats were 44-23-1 compared to 22-861 in the 1980s. In his final three seasons, Kansas State joined Florida, Florida State, Nebraska and Penn State as the only teams in the nation with three consecutive ninewin seasons. During those three years, Kansas State was 27-8-1. And perhaps most impressively, Leavitt and Bob Stoops designed a defense that went from 93rd in the nation in 1990 to number one in their final season of 1995. The common denominator for success at each of Leavitt’s stops has been an unyielding commitment to old-fashioned hard work. “Nobody but nobody is going to match his work ethic and his energy,” Leavitt’s baseball coach at Missouri once said of him.

“I would say I use a lot of things that we did at Kansas State and Iowa as far as the structure of our program,” says Leavitt.“But we really didn’t use anybody as a model

Leavitt and his family first made their backyard in St. Petersburg, Fla. – just 40 minutes from the USF campus - when he was nine years old. Born in Harlingen,Tex., December 5, 1956, Leavitt’s father was an air force pilot, and the family’s move to St. Petersburg was the fifth and final stop. In fact, his parents still live in the family home. A two-sport star in baseball and football (he played quarterback and safety) at Dixie Hollins High School, he graduated in 1974 and went on to Missouri, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in 1978 and a master’s degree in 1979. Leavitt has a nine-year-old daughter, Deandra.

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

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

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

Wally Burnham Co-Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers

T H E

When USF head coach Jim Leavitt announced the addition of Wally Burnham to the USF staff in March 2000, he drew an analogy to a “recruiting coup.” Why not? After all, Burnham has an abundance of big-time college coaching experience, including nine years with Bobby Bowden at Florida State and five years as an assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at South Carolina. Furthermore, Burnham has blazed the recruiting trails throughout Florida and beyond during his coaching career. In all, Burnham brings 37 years of coaching experience (including 33 at the college or pro level) to the table. Now, five seasons into his tenure at USF, proof is even more positive that he is perfect for the Bulls staff. After working with the defensive ends in 2000, Burnham was promoted to co-defensive coordinator in 2001, when he also began working with the linebackers. Since 2000, the USF defense has improved from 32nd among all IAA programs nationally to 38th among I-A schools in 2001 and all the way to 17th in Division I-A in 2002 and 2003. Also in 2002, the Bulls ranked number one in the nation in turnover margin thanks in large part to a ball-hawking defense that was also ranked seventh nationally against the run. Burnham played a large role in the development of USF linebacker Kawika Mitchell, who became the school’s all-time leader in tackles and the highest-ever drafted Bull when the Kansas City Chiefs took him in the second round in 2003. Maurice Jones, another Burnham pupil, signed a free agent contract with the Green Bay Packers. Current USF linebacker Stephen Nicholas appears a likely candidate

C O A C H E S

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

One of two new coaches on the USF staff in 2004, this former AllAmerica receiver at Florida State did a remarkable job with a youthoriented receiving corps, and the group appears ready to revitalize an aggressive Bulls’ offense. Dawsey joined USF from LSU, where he was a graduate assistant during the Tigers’ 2003 National Championship season. His rookie season with USF in 2004 marked his first full time collegiate coaching role. In addition to his outstanding playing career at Florida State, Dawsey enjoyed a solid NFL career, mostly with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who drafted him in the third round of the 1991 NFL Draft. He went on to be named Sports Illustrated Rookie of the Year and was also named to the Pro Football Weekly All-Rookie Team. He led the Buccaneers in receiving that year with 55 catches for 818 yards (a Buccaneer rookie record) and three touchdowns. He led the team for a second straight season in 1992 with 60 catches for 776 yards and one touchdown. After missing most of the 1993 season, Dawsey again led the Bucs in 1994 with 46 catches for 673 yards and one touchdown. In 1995, his final season with the Bucs, he had 30 catches for 372 yards and no touchdowns. His 206 career receptions are 10th most on the Bucs alltime list, while his 2,842 yards stand eighth. He had four 100-yard receiving games, including a best of 116 on seven receptions at Washington, December 18, 1994. Dawsey would go on to play for the New York Giants in 1996, the Miami Dolphins in 1997 and the New Orleans Saints in 1999. At Florida State, Dawsey earned All-America honors in his 1990 senior season when he led the Seminoles with 65 receptions for 999 yards and seven touchdowns. He had also led the team as a junior with 38 catches for 683 yards and four touchdowns and he had 128 career receptions for 2,129 yards, including nine 100-yard games. His career highs in receptions (13) and yards (172) came against Florida State’s top rivals Miami and Florida, respectively, each in his senior season. He had a career-long 93-yard touchdown reception in his 1988 sophomore season against Southern Mississippi. Dawsey began a coaching career prior to signing with the Saints in 1999 after a year away from the NFL His first taste of coaching came at Tampa Catholic High School in 1998, where he supervised the receivers. He has most recently been the graduate assistant at LSU in 2003, when the Tigers won the National Championship. He has also coached at Tampa’s Blake High School in 2002, and he was a training camp assistant with the St. Louis Rams in 2001.

Carl Franks Running Backs/ Recruiting Coordinator

T H E

After four-plus years of experience as a Division I-A head coach, Carl Franks returned to the State of Florida in 2004, where he assisted in building a powerful offense with Steve Spurrier at the University of Florida in the 1990s. Franks is now in his second season at USF, where in addition to coaching running backs, he oversees the recruiting efforts, a responsibility in which he proved ultra-successful during his tenure at Florida as well. In 2004, his first season at USF, Franks tutored Bulls’ running back Andre Hall, who set new school records with 1,357 yards, 11 rushing touchdowns and 12 total touchdowns (plus a touchdown pass). A 1983 Duke graduate, Franks was named head coach there on his 38th birthday - December 1, 1998 - and he went on to lead the Blue Devils for 52 games into the 2003 season. The former football letterman at Duke returned to Durham following nine seasons at Florida, where he helped the Gators to eight bowl games along with the 1996 national championship. At Duke, Franks continued a strong commitment to academics.The reality of Duke’s academic success came to the forefront in June of 2003 when the football program earned the Academic Achievement Award from the American Football Coaches Association for the 11th time. No other school in the nation has garnered the honor more than six times. The 2003 award was based on the graduation rate for the class entering college in the fall of 1997, and Duke led the way with a perfect 100 percent standard. The commitment to academics is one Franks and the entire USF coaching staff will stress in recruiting efforts for the Bulls. In his inaugural season as a head coach in 1999, Franks gave Duke faithful signs of a successful future, as his first head coaching victory was a come-from-behind double-overtime win over Virginia in Charlottesville. It marked Duke’s first victory at Virginia since Franks was a Blue Devil player in 1981. The Blue Devils notched another ACC road victory in 1999, defeating the Maryland Terrapins in another thriller, 25-22, while Franks’ first victory within the friendly confines of Wallace Wade Stadium came over conference rival Wake Forest, 48-35. Included in the win over the Demon Deacons was a school-record 34-point first quarter scoring spree by the Blue Devils. Franks was also honored during his inaugural season by being selected as the head coach of the 1999 Gray squad in the annual BlueGray Classic held in Montgomery, Ala. on Christmas Day. Franks returned to his alma mater after 12 years as an assistant coach under the ultra-successful Spurrier. Franks worked with Spurrier from 1987-89 at Duke and then the next nine seasons at the University of Florida. It was at Florida where Franks and the rest of the Gator program landed in the national spotlight. While there, Franks was an integral part of five SEC championship teams, including the 1996 squad that captured the national championship at the Sugar Bowl. In his tenure with the Gators, Franks helped Florida win 25 straight league games from 1994-97 for the second-longest streak in conference history and become just one of two schools in SEC history to win four consecutive league championships (1993-96). In all, Franks has coached nine squads that played in bowl games, including Duke’s 1989 All American Bowl berth versus Texas Tech.

C O A C H E S

That appearance capped off one of Duke’s greatest seasons in the past 20 years, with the team winning its last seven games for an 8-3 record and a share of the 1989 ACC championship. Franks spent the majority of his time at Florida as the school’s running backs coach and recruiting coordinator - both areas of strength for the elite program. He coached two Gator running backs who gained over 3,000 career rushing yards in Errict Rhett and Fred Taylor. Rhett finished his career as the only offensive back in NCAA I-A history to rush for over 4,100 yards and catch 150 passes while Taylor rushed for 3,075 yards in his college career and was the ninth overall selection in the 1998 NFL Draft. In his seven years as a running backs coach, a Gator back rushed for over 100 yards in a game 44 times. Florida ranked among the nation’s top 15 teams in total offense six times in those eight years Franks was coaching on the offensive side of the ball. He was the team’s inside linebackers coach in 1994. And that was also successful as the stop unit set a Gator record by allowing just 84.6 yards rushing per game, the fifth-best mark in the nation. As recruiting coordinator from 1991-93, he helped put together the nation’s top recruiting class in 1992 according to Super Prep and Blue Chip Report. The incoming classes of 1993 and 1994 were also highly regarded, both ranking in the nation’s top 10. In 1996, the Gators rolled to a 12-1 overall record which included a perfect 8-0 regular season ledger in the SEC. After closing out the regular season with a 24-21 loss to Florida State, Florida rebounded with a 45-30 victory over Alabama in the SEC Championship Game. Then came the rematch with the Seminoles, where the Gators avenged the earlier loss with a 52-20 win to claim the national title. Franks, a three-year letterman from 1980-82, helped lead Duke to the 1989 ACC championship as the school’s running backs coach.That year, running back Randy Cuthbert became Duke’s first 1,000-yard rusher in nearly 20 years while the Blue Devil offense gained a school-record 5,519 yards. After dropping three of its first four games, the 1989 Blue Devil squad reeled off seven straight wins by averaging over 37 points per game during that stretch. Duke also closed out the regular season with consecutive victories over in-state opponents Wake Forest (52-35), N.C. State (35-26) and North Carolina (41-0). As a player at Duke, Franks saw action at both running back and tight end and was selected as an academic All-ACC performer in 1982. He was also the winner of the Mike Suglia Award, given to the team’s top sophomore scholar-athlete. He graduated from Duke in 1983 with a degree in psychology. Franks, 44, and his wife, the former Deborah Lore, are both Garner, NC natives. They have two daughters, Brittany (16) and Courtney (13).

Greg Frey Offensive Line

A 1992 graduate of Clearwater High, and a 1996 graduate of Florida State, Frey was an offensive tackle on the Seminoles’ 1993 National Championship team. In 1990, Super Prep Magazine rated him the top offensive lineman in the country while he was at Clearwater High, and he went on to earn Parade All-America status. Frey was born December 4, 1972.

COACHING EXPERIENCE Year

Highly energetic and dedicated to helping young players improve their skills with each passing day, Greg Frey has been on the USF staff from the inception of the program in 1996, when he came aboard as a graduate assistant. He took full time status in 1999 as the defensive ends coach and assumed his current role with the offensive linemen in 2000. Frey has quickly gained a reputation for molding young offensive linemen into outstanding players both as individuals and more importantly as a unit. It began with Kenyatta Jones, an offensive tackle who became USF’s first-ever player to be drafted into the NFL when the New England Patriots selected him in the fourth round of the 2001 draft. Between 2001 and 2002, after Jones and four-year starter Joey Sipp concluded their USF career, Frey worked almost exclusively with freshmen and sophomore starters and yet his charges always performed well beyond their collective experience while protecting quarterback Marquel Blackwell, who set every USF career passing record over the last four years. In 2002, USF quarterbacks were sacked just 19 times despite a starting line comprised entirely of freshmen and sophomores. In 2001, USF quarterbacks were sacked just 16 times. In 2004, Frey had the luxury of a complete starting unit that returned intact for a second straight season, including seniors Alex Herron (center), Levi Newton (right tackle) and Derrick Sarosi (left tackle). Newton signed a free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts, and despite the fact that he, Herron and Sarosi have all departed, Frey still has a solid corps of linemen that he has tutored to take over, including returning starters Chris Carothers and Frank Davis, as well as part-time starter John Miller. A former standout offensive lineman at Florida State University and Clearwater High School in Pinellas County, Frey has been a perfect fit on the USF staff. “Greg Frey has displayed the devotion and passion we look for in the South Florida football program,” head coach Jim Leavitt said upon announcing his original promotion in 1999. “He has been a very capable member on our staff from the beginning, and we are pleased to have an opportunity to promote him.” In his graduate assistant role at USF from 1996-98, Frey worked mostly with the offensive line, but he also played an instrumental part in breaking down opponent film and working with the USF scout teams in preparing the Bulls for each opponent. When he took over the defensive ends, he played a critical role in the early development of the Shawn Hay, who was USF’s alltime sack leader when he graduated in 2000.

Greg Gregory Tight Ends

T H E

Although he is the newest member of the USF coaching staff, Greg Gregory has a wealth of experience to draw upon, including two seasons as a head coach and 16 years at Army, where he spent nine seasons as the offensive coordinator, including the final seven of those nine as the associate head coach. Gregory also earned Athlon Magazine’s Assistant Coach of the Year award in 1996. Gregory will work with the tight ends at USF, but his broad-based experience will certainly be an asset in helping with all phases of the Bulls offense. Most recently, Gregory was offensive coordinator at Ohio from 2001-2003, where he played a major role in helping the Bobcats to score an average of 32 points in MAC play in 2002, the program’s highest average in more than 25 years. Gregory was also offensive coordinator at Richmond, his alma mater, in 2000, helping the Spiders to a 10-3 record and a berth in the NCAA I-AA playoffs. It was immediately prior to that 2000 season that Gregory was a head coach at Missouri Southern State College in Joplin, Mo., holding that job in 1998 and 1999. The major bulk of Gregory’s coaching career came at Army, where he began as a part-time assistant in 1982 under head coach Ed Cavanaugh. He first worked with receivers in 1982 and 1983 and then assumed command of the tight ends in 1984, while he also worked that one season as the head coach of the junior varsity team. In 1985 he began the first of two seasons as the running backs coach before spending the 1987 season coaching the quarterbacks. It was in 1989 that Gregory became offensive coordinator and in 1991 he added associate head coach to his duties at Army. While at Army, he helped lead the program to its only four Bowl Games in the Academy’s history and the Cadets won 10 of 16 games against arch-rival Navy.The Cadets also led the nation in rushing four separate times during Gregory’s tenure. He coached Ron McAda, the only Army quarterback ever drafted into the NFL and running back Mike Mayweather, who rushed for more than 4,000 career yards. From 1982-85, while coaching at Army, Gregory was also a commissioned officer 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 himself at Richmond, lettering in three of his four seasons with the team between 1976-79. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in physical education at Richmond in 1980 and went on to earn 24 credit hours in sports psychology graduate studies at Virginia. Gregory and his wife, Judy, have three children, sons Tate (22) and Grant (19) and daughter Layne, who turns 15 in December.

Rick Kravitz Defensive Coordinator/ Secondary

Jim Leavitt’s first hire at the University of South Florida in December 1995, Rick Kravitz quickly developed the Bulls’ defense into one of the most consistent units in college football throughout a rapid ascent into Division I-A.The defensive coordinator from the inception of USF football, Kravitz added assistant head coach to his title in 2001, the same season he switched his emphasis to the secondary after coaching the linebackers in his first four seasons. In 1997, the program’s first season ever, the Bulls ranked ninth in the nation (I-AA) in total defense, and in 1998, USF’s aggressive 4-3 defense moved all the way to number one after four weeks, and finished 11th.The storyline has been much the same even after USF’s ascent to I-A competition. The USF defense finished 17th in the nation in each of the 2002 and 2003 seasons and ranked seventh against the run in 2002, allowing a stingy 87.18 yards per game. USF ranked 20th in scoring defense in 2002 and 25th in 2003.The unit has also proved opportunistic when it comes to turnovers, where the team had a number one national ranking in 2002 with 36 takeaways that included 22 interceptions and 14 fumble recoveries. USF free safety J.R. Reed, a Kravitz pupil now with the Philadelphia Eagles, had a school record 18 interceptions between 2001-2003, finishing among the nation’s top 10 in that category in his junior and senior seasons. Making the 2002 numbers all the more impressive was the fact that Kravitz had to develop a new core in the secondary, much like he successfully did with the linebackers in the program’s start-up seasons.The USF secondary lost three of four starters between 2000 and 2001, but Kravitz was able to mold a new cast into a successful unit. It was a task he faced yet again in 2004 with the loss of Reed, strong safety Kevin Verpaele and cornerback Ron Hemingway, plus the unexpected absence of strong safety Johnnie Jones due to a neck injury. Jones does return in 2005 along with Danny Verpaele, who will move from strong to free safety. Additionally, cornerbacks D’Juan Brown, Mike Jenkins and Trae Williams all return with starting experience. Kravitz enjoys a track record of teaching young players, having helped develop an outstanding group of linebackers at USF in the program’s first four seasons when the vast majority of players were in their first or second season. Among the linebackers he developed were Jason Butler,Vassay Marc, Kawika Mitchell, Marshall Smith and Anthony Williams. In the secondary (in addition to Reed), Kravitz coached cornerback Maurice Tucker, who signed a free agent contract with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2002.

Kravitz has been a college defensive coordinator since 1986, and he joined USF from West Alabama, where he had been the assistant head coach and defensive coordinator in 1994 and 1995, after eight years as the defensive coordinator at Florida A&M, where he coached six All-Americans and 10 players drafted into the NFL. Prior to joining the college coaching ranks, Kravitz was a coach and teacher at two Pinellas County high schools from 1979-83. A two-way player at Troy State, Kravitz lettered three times as a defensive end and offensive tackle between 1974-76. He was a high school teammate of USF head coach Jim Leavitt at Dixie Hollins High School in St. Petersburg, Fla, graduating in 1972, two years ahead of Leavitt. Kravitz earned a bachelor’s degree from Troy State in physical education, in 1977.While an assistant coach at FAMU, he also earned a master’s degree in administration and supervision in 1987. Born August 6, 1954, in St. Petersburg, Fla., Kravitz has a 25-yearold daughter, Kristin, who is engaged to Tampa Bay Devil Rays pitcher Doug Waechter.

with the Sheriff ’s Department. For two seasons (1991-92) he was defensive coordinator/linebacker coach/strength coach at Tampa Bay Vo-Tech, before moving to Bloomingdale High, where he was a linebacker coach in 1993. Just prior to joining USF, Lane was defensive coordinator/linebacker coach/strength coach at Brandon High School (1994-95). Lane is a graduate of Plant High School in Tampa, and he and his wife, Sharon, are the parents of two sons, James (20) and Sharrick (16).

T H E

COACHING EXPERIENCE A member of the original coaching staff at the University of South Florida, Earl Lane wears his passion for football on his sleeves and is an outstanding teacher of the game, with an emphasis on USF’s interior defensive linemen. Additionally he works closely with ends coach Rich Rachel in plotting the Bulls’ defensive line strategies.

C O A C H E S

The formula has worked well from the inception of USF football in 1997, but especially in USF’s first two seasons of I-A football (20012002), when the Bulls ranked among the top five teams nationally in sacks. Over those two seasons, USF had 86 sacks (3.91 per game). In 2002, USF linemen accounted for 33 of the team’s 45 sacks, while their input was 32.5 of the 41 sacks in 2001.The linemen excelled again in 2003 with a combined 17.5 sacks, including a team-high six from Craig Kobel. Since the 2000 season, USF is ranked 17th nationally with a combined 161 sacks. The pass rush prowess did not come at the expense of the run game in 2002, when the Bulls finished seventh in the nation against the run, allowing 87.18 yards per game. Further testament to the work of both Lane and Rachel is the fact that Chris Daley,Tavares Jurineack and Greg Walls were all invited to play in the 2003 Rotary Gridiron Classic, an all-star game for college seniors in Orlando. And a fourth lineman, junior Shurron Pierson, eventually declared for the NFL draft and was selected by the Oakland Raiders. Always interested in increasing his coaching knowledge, Lane “interned” with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coaching staff during the 1997 and 1998 training camps, while he maintained full-time coaching duties with USF. A teacher and assistant football coach in Hillsborough County (Fla.) since 1980, Lane was among USF’s first staff hires in 1996. Lane began his coaching at Tampa Catholic High School in 1980, where he was defensive coordinator and strength coach for two seasons. From there, he moved to Chamberlain High School for three seasons (1982-84) as defensive line and strength coach. After spending the 1984 summer at Tampa’s Jefferson High School, Lane moved to a brand new Gaither High School, where he was defensive line coach for two seasons (1984-85). In 1985, Lane became a Deputy Sheriff in charge of the Police Athletic League with the Hillsborough County Sheriff ’s Office, temporarily discontinuing his high school coaching. In 1991, he returned to coaching, while maintaining his position

ence as a college coordinator. Head coach Jim Leavitt had previously been defensive coordinator at Kansas State, USF’s defensive coordinator is Rick Kravitz, who was a coordinator even prior to joining the Bulls, and co-defensive coordinator Wally Burnham was previously the defensive coordinator at South Carolina.

COACHING EXPERIENCE

Richard Rachel, who has been coaching football since 1969, including a stay with the final team at the University of Tampa in 1974, joined the USF program just prior to the start of the 2000 season. He first coached the secondary in 2000 before assuming oversight of the defensive ends in 2001, where he has now remained for four seasons. In his four seasons with the ends, Rachel has helped develop outstanding talent that led to 141 sacks over the last 44 games. In those 44 games, 66.5 of the 141 sacks have come from the defensive ends. Rachel has several tested veterans returning in 2005, including Tim Jones,Tavarious Robinson,Terrance Royal and Jon Simmons. Jones, who opted to use a redshirt season in 2004, Jones proved capable with five sacks in 2002, when he first made a switch from tight end to defensive end. He had 2.5 sacks in 2003. Royal, meanwhile, has 9.5 career sacks and 37 tackles for loss. Rachel will continue to stress a complete defensive game and not one that rests strictly on the pass rush, as evidenced by USF’s national rank of seventh against the run in 2002. Before taking over the ends, Rachel held together a USF secondary that saw a position switch for Anthony Henry (Cleveland Browns) from free safety to cornerback and a career-ending injury to Jay Mize, Henry’s replacement at safety, which in turn forced starting strong safety Roy Manns to move to free safety. Henry would prove a smashing success at corner, leading to his fourth round selection in the NFL Draft, and Joe Morgan stepped up at strong safety, while Manns held down the free spot. Rachel, who has been an assistant head coach for Kansas State (1986-89) and a defensive coordinator at Rutgers (198995), North Dakota (1989) North Carolina State (1983-86) and Morehead State (1975-77), was most recently the offensive line coach at Fort Scott Community College prior to joining USF. The USF job is a homecoming of sorts for Rachel, who began his coaching career as the head coach at Tampa’s Chamberlain High School from 1969-73. He then moved on to the University of Tampa as the secondary coach for the 1974 season, before that program disbanded and he worked as an assistant at Tampa King High School in 1975. Following one season at King, he moved permanently into the college ranks as the defensive coordinator at Morehead State, where he earned a master’s degree in 1977. Rachel earned his bachelor’s degree from Parsons College in Fairfield, Iowa in 1969. Rachel gives the Bulls yet another assistant who has experi-

Rod Smith Offensive Coordinator/ Quarterbacks

in 1996, when he was a team captain for the school’s fourth straight conference championship team. His teams reached the national championship playoffs twice, including one runner-up finish. Smith also has a master’s degree in classroom teaching from Urbana University in 2000.

COACHING EXPERIENCE

T H E

After four seasons as the pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Rod Smith has been bumped up to offensive coordinator in 2005. Smith, who had worked with up-tempo offenses at West Virginia and Clemson, helped install a no-huddle, spread offense at USF when he arrived in 2001.The task at hand for Smith, who is rapidly becoming seen as a top young mind in the college ranks, is to help develop a consistent starting quarterback to run the offense.

C O A C H E S

Smith and staff had the very good fortune to work with Marquel Blackwell, who had a brilliant career at quarterback for the Bulls from 1999-2002. Although the transition from Blackwell to a consistent replacement has been an ongoing process, the proficiency of the USF offense is a proven commodity. In the 22 games during Smith’s first two seasons at USF, the offense put up 5,777 passing yards, including the top two single season passing numbers in the program’s seven years of football. Nationally, the Bulls ranked 22nd (2002) and 32nd (2003) in passing. Efficiency has also been a trademark of the passing game. The Bulls threw just five interceptions in 2002, only three of which came from Blackwell among his 403 pass attempts. In fact, Blackwell ranked number one in the nation in interception percentage, and the Bulls ranked first nationally in turnover margin, largely due to so few offensive turnovers. Also a trademark for the USF offense is the broad array of choices in the four and five-receiver sets. In 2002, seven different players had at least 15 receptions, and a total of 19 players were on the receiving end of passes for the Bulls. Even in 2004, when passing production fell – in part due to the emergence of running back Andre Hall – 15 different players took part in the receiving game. Immediately prior to joining USF in 2001, Smith had accepted the quarterback coach position at West Virginia following his one-year stay on the Clemson staff in 2000. But even before settling in at West Virginia, Smith opted to accept a role with USF. Smith’s coaching career began in 1998, when he was the quarterback coach for Urbana (Ohio) University, where he helped with an offense that broke every school passing and total offense record. Over the course of his still brief coaching career, even before joining USF, Smith had coached 20 all-conference players and two AllAmericans. He coached an all-conference quarterback in five straight seasons, and ESPN.com named Blackwell the Independent Player of the Year in 2002. A 1997 graduate of Glenville State with a degree in physical education, Smith was the offensive coordinator for Franklin (W.V.) High School between his college graduation and joining Urbana. During his tenure at Franklin, the team went from 3-7 to 7-3. A quarterback himself at Glenville State, Smith earned All-America

Chad Barnhardt

Director of Football Operations

Larry Antonucci is now in his seventh year at USF and enters his sixth as the Director of football operations, after working as a graduate assistant with the USF offense in 1999. Antonucci handles all operational aspects of the USF program, including all travel plans and all arrangements at Raymond James Stadium for USF home games. Until 2004, with the arrival of Carl Franks, Antonucci had also coordinated all of USF’s recruiting efforts. His experience in that field continues to aid USF’s efforts. Antonucci is no stranger to the coaching ranks, having worked as a coach since his graduation from Wagner in 1993. He remained at Wagner upon completing his bachelor’s degree in 1993, where he was a graduate assistant responsible for working with the tight ends and offensive tackles. In 1994, Antonucci was hired as a fulltime offensive line coach at St. Peter’s College, where he was also the run game coordinator and recruiting coordinator. Furthermore, he helped administrate the strength & conditioning program. Antonucci moved on to Emporia State in 1995, where he coached the receivers in 1995-96 and the defensive line in 1997-98. He also coached the kick and punt return teams throughout his four seasons, prior to first joining the USF program in spring 1999. In his first year at USF as a graduate assistant, Antonucci worked primarily with the offensive line and tight ends, but he also assisted with the remainder of the offense. As a player at Wagner, Antonucci started 33 straight games from 199092, playing tight end, offensive tackle and offensive guard. He earned a bachelor’s degree in special education in 1993. Antonucci and his wife Danielle, were married this past year and reside in Tampa.

Offensive Graduate Assistant

The first-ever starting quarterback in USF football history, Chad Barnhardt rejoins the Bulls in 2005 as a graduate assistant working with the offense. After transferring to USF from South Carolina, Barnhardt was the Bulls starter in 1997 and 1998, when he was 300 of 519 for 4,138 yards and 27 touchdowns. He was 12-9 in his 21 career starts with the Bulls. He was the team MVP in 1997 and a team captain in 1998. Since graduating in 1999, Barnhardt has been a coach at Lake Wales (Fla.), his high school alma mater. For his first three years at the school he was the head baseball coach and an assistant football coach. In 2002, he gave up his baseball job to become head football coach, a position he held until accepting the USF job. As a high school athlete at Lake Wales, he was all-state at quarterback and as a catcher on the baseball team. He signed a contract and played briefly with the Boston Red Sox organization before opting to attend South Carolina, where he played a backup role at quarterback in 15 games. Barnhardt, 29, received a business degree from USF.

Notes Louisville joins USF and Cincinnati as the three former Conference USA football playing schools entering their first season in the BIG EAST Conference … The meeting between the Bulls and the Cardinals marks the firstever BIG EAST Conference game for both schools … Although Louisville was not USF’s first-ever C-USA game in 2003, it was the Bulls’ first conference game at Raymond James Stadium … USF won that game, arguably one of the most thrilling in the program’s history, 31-28 in two overtimes on Oct. 4, 2003 when Santiago Gramatica hit the game-winning field goal … The Cardinals, who earned their highest national ranking in 2004 finishing sixth in the Associated Press and seventh in the ESPN/USA Today Polls, turned in an 11-1 record last year and played in their seventh consecutive bowl game, defeating No. 10 Boise State 44-40 in the Liberty Bowl … It was just U of L’s second season winning 11 games after doing it in 2001 (11-2) … Head Coach Bobby Petrino enters the season with a 20-5 career coaching record and boasts an impressive 16-2 record when the Cards score first … Louisville is 47-16 since 2000, which is tied for ninth – with Virginia Tech – as the best Division I-A record during that stretch … The Cards offense will more than likely not miss a beat with the loss of quarterback Stefan LeFors, who was drafted in the fourth round (121st overall) of the NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers … Sophomore Brian Brohm, last year’s Conference USA Freshman of the Year and the most decorated recruit to ever attend Louisville, will take over the reigns at the position after appearing in 11 games at QB last year … He threw for 819 yards and six touchdowns while completing 67.3 percent of his throws … Defensively, linebacker Elvin Dumerville was one of the top pass rushers in the country last season, leading the Cardinals with 10 sacks and 52 tackles … His 12 career sacks is tops among returning players.

2004 SEASON REVIEW

GAME 1

USF 21, Tennessee Tech 7

Raymond James Stadium • Tampa, Fla. • Sept. 11 • 7 p.m. USF 1-0, Tennessee Tech 1-1 Tampa, Fla. – Admitting his team was probably fortunate it wasn’t playing Pittsburgh – as originally scheduled – for its season opener, USF head coach Jim Leavitt walked away from it’s 21-7 victory over Tennessee Tech knowing a win is a win. And at least for this win, Leavitt can look to his team’s defense as the deciding factor … USF had been scheduled to meet Pittsburgh in the opener on September 6, but Hurricane Frances forced a postponement … For most of the night, the USF offense struggled to the point of wondering if the postponement had been extended. At times, the running game showed some flash with Clenton Crossley and Andre Hall combining for 143 yards on 30 carries, but the offense struggled to sustain drives … The first USF touchdown – a two-yard run by Hall – came after Bruce Gipson had returned a punt to the Tennessee Tech 37 yard line and J.B. Garris gained 25 yards on a first down reverse.The second touchdown came after Mike Jenkins blocked a punt to give the Bulls the ball at the Tennessee Tech 21-yard line, and the third and final touchdown came on a 37-yard interception return by redshirt freshman Trae Williams … Pat Julmiste started at quarterback for the Bulls, but gave way to Ronnie Banks after Julmiste scored on a three-yard run with 12:55 remaining in the second quarter. Julmiste indicated he turned his knee on the play immediately prior to the touchdown. Neither quarterback proved particularly effective … Defensively, USF allowed Tennessee Tech 145 total yards, including just 16 on the ground.The Bulls also recorded five sacks.Tennessee Tech’s lone touchdown came after Banks threw an interception to Brandon Shelby, who returned it to the USF 29-yard line. Two pass interference calls against the Bulls helped the Golden Eagles to a quick drive that culminated in an eight-yard touchdown pass.

GAME 2

South Carolina 34, USF 3

Williams-Brice Stadium • Columbia, S.C. • Sept. 18 • 7 p.m. USF 1-1, South Carolina 1-2 Columbia, S.C. – Never before had an opponent been so successful at throwing the long ball against USF until South Carolina quarterback Syvelle Newton made his starting debut and threw for 324 yards to lead the Gamecocks to the 34-3 win.The sophomore’s performance included three 50-plus yard touchdown passes, all to Troy Williamson, making him the first-ever quarterback to achieve that feat in 79 USF football games … Pittsburgh had been the lone opponent to throw two 50-plus yard touchdown passes against USF, that coming in a 35-26 Bulls’ win in 2001 … A career-long 47-yard field goal by Santiago Gramatica to close out the first half allowed the Bulls to avoid a shutout for the 79th straight game, but it was a small consolation in a game that got away from the Bulls early … On South Carolina’s first possession, the Bulls held and looked certain to block a fourth down punt when four defenders broke through uncontested. But it simply resulted in a roughing the kicker and Newton made the Bulls pay with a 56-yard touchdown to Williamson on the very next play … After an early second quarter field goal, South Carolina ran the score to 17-0 on the second Newton-Williamson score, this one a 55-yard pass with 7:01 remaining in the first half … The Bulls still felt alive with the momentum of Gramatica’s field goal and possession to start the second half. But Bruce Gipson fumbled the kick return away and South Carolina would never look back … USF senior Ronnie Banks started the game at quarterback and although he looked poised for the most part, it did little to give the Bulls any kind of sustained offense. Although Banks completed 12 of 22 passes for 104 yards, USF failed to get into the red zone in the entire game … Pat Julmiste, who had sprained his right knee in the opener against Tennessee Tech, relieved Banks early in the third quarter but did little to change the Bulls’s fortunes. Julmiste completed just two of 10 passes for seven yards … South Carolina’s 530 yards were the third highest total ever against the Bulls, while the USC defense became only the fifth-ever unit to hold the Bulls without a touchdown.

GAME 3

USF 45, TCU 44 (2 overtimes)

Amon G. Carter Stadium • Fort Worth, Texas • Sept. 25 • 6 p.m. USF 2-1, 1-0, TCU 2-2, 0-1 Ft. Worth, Tex. – Hurricane Jeanne having already forced the USF football team to stay an extra night in Ft.Worth before a game with TCU even got started, the Bulls played as if they had all night to finish their work. USF would play – and win – its fourth double overtime game in its last 11 games when TCU couldn’t get off a PAT because of a bad snap. USF is now 5-0 all-time in overtime games and all five have gone to double overtime … Andre Hall ran for 119 yards and three touchdowns and grabbed four catches for 65 yards and another touchdown, while quarterback Pat Julmiste had a career-best day with 324 yards on 22 of 33 passing with no interceptions … TCU had won 15 straight regular season home games entering the contest … Hall made his presence known early with a 58-yard run on USF’s second possession to set up a one-yard Julmiste touchdown run and a 7-0 lead. But TCU would score 10 points on its next two possessions, and other than overtime, USF would never regain a lead in regulation, despite five ties leading up to a 31-31 score heading into overtime … TCU had the first offensive possession in overtime and with the aid of two USF penalties, the Horned Frogs took a 38-31 lead on a Lonta Hobbs eight-yard run. USF struck right back on a five-play drive capped by a one-yard Hall touchdown run … The Bulls went up 45-38 in the second overtime on a four-play drive that finished with a 14-yard Hall run. USF would then force a fourth-and-one for TCU at the 16-yard line, but allowed quarterback Brandon Hassell to bootleg for a 16-yard score, setting up the game-ending PAT attempt … A bad snap was never caught by the holder and TCU was unable to convert a frantic two-point effort … Hall’s 58-yard run early in the game was the longest-ever non-scoring run for a USF player and Julmiste’s 324 yard game was just the sixth-ever 300-yard passing day for a USF quarterback and the fourth highest total … Stephen Nicholas led the defense with nine tackles, including two for losses.

Southern Miss 27, USF 20

Raymond James Stadium • Tampa, Fla. • Oct. 2 • 7 p.m. Southern Miss 3-0, 2-0, USF 2-2, 1-1 Tampa, Fla. – Despite an omnipresent case of effort, too may self-inflicted mistakes doomed the USF Bulls in a 2720 loss to Southern Mississippi in Raymond James Stadium. Four interceptions and 10 penalties stymied the Bulls every time they appeared ready to get back into the game … Southern Mississippi converted nine of 19 third down attempts and picked up 312 net yards on offense to hand USF its first Conference USA loss of the season … USF’s offense appeared ready to pick up where it left off in a 45-44 double overtime win at TCU last week after one threeand-out to start the game, before putting together a solid drive on its second possession.That ended with a 41-yard field goal from Santiago Gramatica to tie the game 3-3 … But the offense stalled and the defense allowed too many third down conversions as Southern Miss ran its lead to 20-3 with a 45-yard scoring pass from Dustin Almond to Marvin Young to open the second half … USF did recover early in the fourth quarter and closed to 20-13 on another Gramatica field goal. But even that was bittersweet as USF had a first and goal at the two-yard line after a Southern Miss long snap sailed over the punter’s head … Then the penalties began to cripple the Bulls, including a pass interference call on what would have been a Javan Camon interception.The penalty was doubly troubling when Terrance Royal was called for unsportsmanlike conduct for taking his helmet off. Southern Miss scored on the next play to make the score 27-13 with 5:41 remaining … Still, USF hung tough, closing to 27-20 on a nine-yard pass from Pat Julmiste to S.J. Green with 1:38 remaining.The Bulls recovered an onside kick, but it was negated by an early touch … Andre Hall scored his fifth touchdown run of the year and finished with 56 yards on 14 carries. Julmiste was 14 of 35 for 150 yards with the four interceptions … Javan Camon and Patrick St. Louis led the defense with 10 tackles each, while Stephen Nicholas had three stops for losses among his eight tackles.

Army 42, USF 35

Raymond James Stadium • Tampa, Fla. • Oct. 16 • 7 p.m. Army 2-4, 2-3 USF 2-3, 1-2 Tampa, Fla. – The USF football team played in front of a Raymond James Stadium crowd for its Homecoming Game against Army and set a new single game team rushing record with 367 yards.The only thing the Bulls couldn’t do was win … Despite a 28-14 lead with just 2:57 remaining in the third quarter, USF allowed Army to score 22 fourth quarter points for a 42-35 win. It marked the first time USF lost two games in a row in two years (at Arkansas and Oklahoma) and it was the first time ever that the Bulls lost two straight at home, after having lost 27-20 to Southern Miss two weeks ago.The 22 points was also the most ever allowed by USF in a fourth quarter … With 36,549 in attendance, USF’s defense allowed Army to run for 242 yards, including 225 from Carlton Jones, who had touchdowns of 59 and 74 yards to outshine USF’s Andre Hall, who carried 19 times for 200 yards to become USF’s first-ever 200-yard runner against a I-A opponent. Dyral McMillan had back-to-back 200-yard games for USF against I-AA foes … USF looked aggressive at the outset, nearly recovering an opening on-side kick and then forcing a fumble on Army’s first drive when Craig Kobel sacked Zac Dahman. USF scored just six plays later on an 18-yard Hall run for a 7-0 lead … Army quickly tied the game on its next possession with a 13-play drive, but the Bulls appeared back on track in taking a 14-7 lead midway through the second quarter on a 21-yard Hall run. Despite a missed field goal that hit the upright with 39 seconds left in the half, USF seemed to have momentum and stated its case further with an impressive 12-play drive (all runs) to open the second half and take a 21-7 lead … But Army never quit, even when USF took its second 14-point lead at 28-14. On Army’s next two possessions, Jones made quick work with his two long touchdown runs.The Black Knights had a PAT blocked on one, but made up for it with a two-point conversion to tie the score at 28-28 … Army took the lead at 35-28 on a13-yard run from Jones, and after Jackie Chambers fumbled a wide receiver screen, Jones scored his fifth touchdown of the game for a 42-28 lead with just 2:24 left. USF closed the final margin to seven on a 43-yard touchdown pass from Pat Julmiste to Joe Bain, but could not recover an onside kick for a final chance at overtime.

Louisville 41, USF 9

Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium • Louisville, Ky. • Oct. 22 • 8 p.m. Louisville 5-1, 3-0 USF 2-4, 1-3 Louisville, Ky. – USF fell behind early at No. 15 Louisville and never could rally in a 41-9 loss that found the Bulls amidst just the second three-game losing streak in the program’s eight-year history.The only previous three-game losing streak came in USF’s 1997 Inaugural Season when the Bulls lost the second, third and fourth games of the year … The Bulls played 16 freshmen in the game, including 12 redshirt freshmen and four true rookies (Jackie Chambers, Johnny Peyton,Willie Phelps and Danny Verpaele) … USF did manage to stop Louisville on its first drive of the night when Terrence Royal recovered a J.R. Russell fumble for just the fifth take-away all season by the Bulls. But three plays later, USF had to punt and Louisville quarterback Stefan LeFors would go on to complete his first 12 pass attempts to lead the Cardinals to a 27-3 halftime lead … Despite the tough first half, the Bulls did battle hard throughout the second half as Leavitt indicated. And there was evidence of that hard play on both sides of the ball. Andre Hall, who had been stymied for just 14 yards on eight carries in the first half, rushed for 60 yards on just nine second half carries. Clenton Crossley also helped the second half ground gain with eight second-half carries for 32 yards … Additionally, USF scored its lone touchdown of the game on a 50-yard pass from Julmiste to freshman Johnnie Peyton … Defensively, the Bulls held Louisville to 14 second-half points (all in the third quarter) and halted a Cardinal goal line possession with four stops from inside the five-yard line.

USF 45, UAB 20

Legion Field • Birmingham, Ala. • Nov. 3 • 7:30 p.m. USF 3-4, 2-3, UAB 5-3, 3-2 Birmingham, Ala. – USF scored a school record 28 fourth quarter points on four plays that totaled 214 yards, and Andre Hall ran for a school record 275 yards to rally the Bulls past UAB by a 45-20 margin at Legion Field … USF trailed 20-10 after UAB’s Corey White scored his third touchdown of the game on a one-yard run at the 11:32 mark. But the Bulls battled back to score the final 35 points of the game, including a 77-yard pass from Pat Julmiste to freshman Johnny Peyton, a 39-yard interception return by Bruce Gipson and touchdown runs of 35 and 63 yards from Hall all in the fourth quarter … The rally started with a six-yard run by Julmiste for a touchdown that pulled the Bulls to within 20-17 at the 9:37 mark of the third quarter.The win snapped a three-game losing streak … With the score 20-10, UAB seemed poised to add to its lead when Darrell Hackney hit Roddy White at the Bulls’ four-yard line, when White fumbled the ball into the end zone, where USF’s Danny Verpaele recovered and brought it out to the six-yard line … Six plays later, Julmiste hit Peyton for the 77-yard score, the second longest scoring pass in USF football history. Just two plays later, Gipson picked off a Hackney pass and ran it in for a score and a 31-20 USF lead. It was just the second interception by a USF player this season, but each has gone for a score (also Trae Williams vs.Tennessee Tech) … Hall put the game away for good with his two long scoring runs and it marked his second 200-plus yard game this season.The junior now has 822 yards on the season, the second best season in school history, trailing only Dyral McMillan’s 1,017-yard season in 1999.

USF 41, East Carolina 17

Raymond James Stadium • Tampa, Fla.. • Nov. 13 • 7:00 p.m. USF 4-4, 3-3, ECU 2-7, 2-5 Tampa, Fla. – Pat Julmiste had his best career night at quarterback and Andre Hall had his third 100-yard rushing night in the last four games to lead the USF football team to a 41-17 win over East Carolina in Raymond James Stadium.The Bulls had 509 yards on offense while the defense did its part in limiting the Pirates to 91 yards rushing and 247 total yards … USF scored on its first possession of the night on a12-play, 83-yard drive and never looked back in knocking off ECU to keep the Bulls bowl chances alive with three games remaining … “It was a good win, solid all the way around,” said USF head coach Jim Leavitt.“I was a little concerned about the second half. Coming out I really wanted us to play hard in the second half because last time we were at home (Oct. 16) in the second half against Army, that second half devastated me in my life I promise you.” … USF took a comfortable 17-3 lead into halftime on a one-yard run from Julmiste to cap the first drive plus a 30-yard field goal from Santiago Gramatica and a one-yard run from Clenton Crossley … The Bulls twice had 21-point leads in the third second half with an 18-yard run from Hall in the third quarter to run the score to 24-3 and an eight-yard run from Julmiste to go up 31-10. But ECU responded to both scores to make it a two-touchdown game with plenty of time to play before USF closed it out with a 33-yard field goal from Justin Geisler and a 26-yard interception return for a touchdown from Sidney Simpson. It was Simpson’s second interception of the night, the first two of the senior nickel back’s career … USF has just four interceptions on the season, but three of them have been returned for touchdowns … Julmiste finished the night 12 of 16 for 233 yards, no interceptions and no sacks, while Hall had 161 yards on 27 carries. His touchdown run was the 10th of the season, breaking the USF school record, while his 100-yard game tied a school record as his fourth of the season. He’ll enter the Cincinnati game next week with 983 yards … Freshman receiver Johnny Peyton continued his strong play of late with three catches for 76 yards, including a long of 56 yards.

Cincinnati 45, USF 23

Nippert Stadium • Cincinnati, Ohio. • Nov. 20 • 3:30 p.m. USF 4-5, 3-4, Cincinnati 6-4, 5-2 Cincinnati, Ohio – USF put itself flat up against the wall in its bid for a first-ever Bowl appearance, losing 45-23 at Cincinnati in a game that saw the Bearcats rack up 577 yards of offense, the highest-ever against a USF team … Cincinnati’s Gino Guidugli threw for a personal career-best 377 yards on 30 of 36 passing to lead the Bearcat offense and give his team a sixth win to become Bowl-eligible. USF meanwhile, must win two straight home games against Memphis on November 27 and Pittsburgh December 4 to become Bowl-eligible … The day appeared to start well for USF with Andre Hall running for 46 yards on the second play of the game and for 60 yards on the first play of the Bulls’ second drive. But other than Hall eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark on the season and setting the school’s single season record, the Bulls had just three points on Justin Geisler’s career-long 44-yard field goal to show for it … However, after Cincinnati took a 7-3 lead on a three-yard run by Richard Hall to cap a five-play, 75-yard drive, the Bulls responded with an 11-play, 80-yard drive, culminating with Andre Hall’s four-yard run for a 10-7 USF lead … Cincinnati came back with 10 straight points for a 17-10 lead at the 5:40 mark of the second quarter, but after Bruce Gipson downed a Brandon baker punt inside the one-yard line,Terrance Royal forced a Cincinnati fumble in the end zone and Craig Kobel recovered for the score and a 17-17 tie at the 2:21 mark … With the look of a halftime tie in the making, Cincinnati grabbed control of the game and never let up, getting in a 49-yard scoring pass from Guidugli to Bill Poland with just 1:25 remaining in the half.Then, the Bearcats outscored the Bulls 21-6 in the second half, with USF’s lone score coming on a 16-yard pass from Pat Julmiste to freshman Jackie Chambers … Andre Hall finished with 155 yards on 16 carries and now has 1,138 yards on the season. His fifth 100-yard rushing game of the season (three in last four games) is also a USF record and he tied the school record for total touchdowns in a season with 12.

Memphis 31, USF 15

Raymond James Stadium • Tampa, Fla. • Nov. 27 • 11:00 a.m. USF 4-6, 3-5, Memphis 8-3, 5-3 Tampa, Fla. – Incentive wasn’t enough for the USF football team when the Bulls were outclassed 31-15 by Memphis in Raymond James Stadium. USF entered the game knowing it had to win today and next week at home against Pittsburgh to be Bowl-eligible, but Memphis beat the Bulls in every facet and USF will have a losing season for only the second time in the program’s eight seasons … In a game that featured Williams and USF’s Andre Hall, the top two rushers in Conference USA,Williams ran for 263 yards on 28 carries with touchdown runs of 51 and 44 yards. Hall finished with his sixth 100-yard game this season and his fourth in the last five games with 134 yards on 24 carries … Memphis wasted little time in setting the tone, marching 81 yards in 11 plays on the opening drive that lasted 5:11. It was capped off with a 20-yard pass from Danny Wimprine to Tavares Gideon and a Stephen Gostowski point after touchdown made the score 7-0 with 9:49 remaining in the first quarter … USF seemed up to matching the score with 36 yards on its first eight plays, including 21 yards on three carries for Hall. But on a fourth and one at the Memphis 42, Hall was stopped for no gain and it marked the first of five fourth down attempts in which USF gained just one first down … Memphis added a first quarter field goal and by halftime the Tigers led 16-0. USF did recover in the third quarter to cut the lead to 16-7 when Julmiste scored the first of his two touchdown runs with 3:54 remaining in the third quarter. But that’s when Williams took over with his two long touchdown runs … Julmiste’s two touchdown runs gave him nine on the season, matching Marquel Blackwell’s USF record (2001) for quarterbacks. Hall, meanwhile, became USF’s third all-time leading ground gainer in just his 10th game in a USF uniform.The junior college transfer will enter next week’s game against Pittsburgh with 1,272 yards, trailing only Rafael Williams and Clenton Crossley on the all-time list … Defensively, the Bulls were led by sophomore linebacker Stephen Nicholas, who had a season-high 16 tackles.

GAME 11

Pittsburgh 43, USF 14

Raymond James Stadium • Tampa, Fla. • Dec. 4 • 11:00 a.m. USF 4-7, 3-5, Pittsburgh 8-3, 4-2 Tampa, Fla. – In its first four possessions against Pittsburgh, USF had two interceptions, a fumble and a punt, leading to 15 Panther points that set the tone for the day in a 43-14 loss that brought the Bulls’ 2004 season to a conclusion. Still, USF head coach Jim Leavitt had pride in his senior class that played its final game … The Panthers took the opening kickoff and drove 79 yards for an early 7-0 lead after an 18-yard pass from Tyler Palko to Greg Lee at the 10:25 mark. Just 21 seconds later, the Panthers were up 13-0 when Malcolm Postell returned the first of his two interceptions for a 15-yard touchdown.The Bulls did manage to block the PAT, plus another one later and a field goal on the day … But kick blocking was all that seemed to go right. A USF fumble resulted in a field goal and Postell’s second interception set up another touchdown and Pittsburgh led 22-0 before USF could get on the board with a 16-yard throwback pass from Andre Hall to quarterback Pat Julmiste with 4:59 remaining in the first half … USF’s only other score came with 4:27 left in the third quarter when Clenton Crossley moved in from one yard out for his 21st career touchdown, a new school record, breaking a tie with Marquel Blackwell and Otis Dixon … The record was small consolation in a game that Pittsburgh dominated in the statistics and on the scoreboard. Palko finished 19 of 28 for 411 yards and five touchdowns, three of those to Lee, who had 153 yards on eight receptions.

DOUG WOOLARD DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

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

106

Doug Woolard assumed command of the University of South Florida Department of Athletics in 2004 at a moment in time that was pivotal in the school’s athletic history.With a successful launch of football already in place, USF will emerge as a player in the BIG EAST Conference in 2005.Woolard’s leadership role is one he is fit to assume and one in which he has experience. In October 1994,Woolard assumed leadership of the Saint Louis University Department of Athletics as its director and guided the program through a historic period that included the school’s inclusion as a founding member of Conference USA, and more recently its acceptance of membership in the Atlantic 10 Conference. While overseeing a department that was progressive in its competitive success,Woolard also proved to be a large asset in a community, that like Tampa Bay, presents the challenge of finding a niche with professional football, baseball and hockey in the market. The Saint Louis men’s basketball team has consistently ranked among the top 30 in the nation in annual attendance during Woolard’s decade at the helm.Three times the program was among the nation’s top 10, peaking with an average attendance of 17,708. Furthermore, the men’s soccer program at Saint Louis is consistently in the nation’s top 10 in attendance by averaging over 2,800 fans a game in a stadium that was constructed for the men’s and women’s teams under Woolard’s watch. Further enhancing the community partnership,Woolard has remained committed to bringing all Billiken athletic events back on campus. In addition to constructing a new soccer stadium, Saint Louis has added a new softball facility and nine new tennis courts on campus. Planning and fundraising are now underway to construct a $70 million on-campus multi-purpose facility where Saint Louis

can play its men’s and women’s basketball games. Woolard’s leadership has extended beyond competitive success and a strong community setting into an ultra-successful academic environment. Saint Louis student-athletes have not only been the frontrunners among their Conference USA peers, but they have developed an outstanding reputation nationally for their achievement. Saint Louis student-athletes achieved a 69 percent graduation rate in 200203 – the highest in Conference USA – and the University won the league’s institutional academic excellence award for the eighth straight season, representing every season in C-USA history at that time. To achieve the many successes at Saint Louis over the past decade,Woolard has kept a keen eye on the financial foundation of the program. He added the first-ever in-house development director to the program to maximize the revenue streams for an NCAA Division I program. He also negotiated the Billikens’ first department-wide shoe and apparel contract with Nike, and he renegotiated a radio and television syndication package that enhanced the school’s revenue base.The television package included locally televised games for men’s and women’s soccer and volleyball. While maintaining an outstanding department at Saint Louis,Woolard has also become a prominent figure on national committees. Presently he is a member of the NCAA Sports

Wagering Task Force, which has been charged with recommending strategies to counteract sports wagering by student-athletes. He is a past chair of the Conference USA Directors of Athletics Committee and he also served as the league’s representative on the NCAA Academic/Eligibility/Compliance (AEC) Cabinet, where he chaired the amateurism and agents subcommittee.Woolard has also served as C-USA’s alternate to the NCAA Management Council, the most powerful committee in the NCAA governance structure. Prior to joining Saint Louis,Woolard worked for the nationally respected Jim Livengood at Washington State University. Under Livengood, who is now the director of athletics at Arizona and a past chair of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee,Woolard was the associate director for external operations from 1989-94 after one year (1988-89) as an assistant director of athletics. While at Washington State,Woolard was a key member of the senior management staff that oversaw a successful football program, and he played a prominent role in the entire department’s relationship with the community. Woolard and his wife, Cherrie, have two children, Chris and Amy. Chris graduated from UCLA and is currently in his second year as the director of championships at Conference USA. Amy graduated from Saint Louis University and currently teaches preschool in St. Louis.

Doug Woolard was welcomed to USF in June 2004 by Rocky the Bull and President Judy Genshaft.

The Academic Enrichment Center is designed to provide the academic support and the learning environment so that each student-athlete has the opportunity to reach their goals. It is the home of comprehensive services including advising, tutoring and counseling, available to all USF student-athletes.

or better). In 2004, Kristina West, a pole vaulter with medical school in her future, was one of six recipients of a C-USA PostGraduate Scholarship, and USF was one of five institutions with multiple C-USA Scholar-Athlete Award winners as cross country runner Christa Benton and West were named award recipients in their respective sports. The opening in June 2004 of the Academic Enrichment Center ensures continued success.The Center includes a computer lab, a study lounge, six tutorial rooms, a distance learning room and five staff offices.The computer lab and study lounge generate most of the attention from USF student-athletes, probably because they played a large role in the development of the facility. The tutoring rooms provide Academic Services’ staff the ability to meet with students in a comfortable, private environment for the first time.The distance learning room is one of the facility’s unique features where students can check out a laptop, utilize a

It has been USF’s association with Conference USA for the past 10 seasons, and now its association with the BIG EAST Conference starting in 2005, that has provided motivation — and competition - for academic success.

At the December 2004 USF Commencement, kicker Justin Geisler, who had a 3.99 grade point average, was named Outstanding Senior.

The 2004-05 academic year was a typical one for USF student-athletes. USF placed 171 student-athletes on the 200405 C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll (3.0 GPA or better), second among C-USA’s 14 members and just two from the leader, Cincinnati. Twenty-five USF student-athletes, the fifth-most among Derrick Rackard not only graduated from USF in 2002, but he also won a league schools, earned the prestigious John McClendon Minority Posteligibility Scholarship.

USF Academic Facts •

Since USF joined Conference USA in 1995, 20 student-athletes have been named Scholar-Athlete of the Year in their respective sport.This includes a school-record five Scholar-Athletes of the Year in 1998-99 and USF has had at least two such award winners in eight of its 10 seasons in the league. Kristina West (Track) and Christa Benton (Cross Country) won this award in 2004.

•

In that same 10-year span in Conference USA, seven USF studentathletes have earned C-USA Post-Graduate Scholarships, including USF track-athlete Kristina West in 2004.

•

Between 1995 and 2004, 10 USF teams won a C-USA Sports Academic Award, which goes to the team with the highest grade point average in each respective conference sport. Men’s soccer and men’s basketball received this award for the 2003-04 school year. In 2001-02, USF won four such team awards.

Accessibility to the Academic Enrichment Center for USF studentathletes may be as crucial to its success as much as the resources inside, as all the features provided for student-athletes are located centrally in one facility, along with other key staff of the USF Athletic Department.

•

Conference USA awards a Commissioner’s Academic Medal to all league student-athletes who achieve a 3.75 or higher grade point average for an entire school year. In USF’s 10 seasons in C-USA, 224 student-athletes have earned this honor, including 25 in 2004-05.

Through the Athletics Training Center, USF and its donors have invested in the future success of the student-athletes that represent the school on the athletic field.The Academic Enrichment Center is evidence that USF takes as much pride in the academic achievements of its student-athletes.

•

In 2004-05, 171 student-athletes compiled a grade point average of at least 3.0, which was second in C-USA and only two shy of Cincinnati who placed 173 student-athletes on the list. USF has had as many as 176 student-athletes achieve that level in any given academic year. Since 1995-96, USF’s academic services program has paid huge dividends as the members of the 3.0 Club have increased from 42 in 1995-96 to 164 in 2003-04.

Fourteen USF student-athletes have been named an Academic All-American since 1985. Most recently was USF softball player Tiffany Stewart who received this honor in 2005.

BIG EAST CONFERENCE FOOTBALL 2005 A new era of BIG EAST Conference football begins in 2005. Joining Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse and West Virginia are three conference newcomers – the University of Cincinnati, University of Louisville and University of South Florida. A league that quickly established itself as a national force after its inception in 1991, now becomes that much stronger. In 2004, five of the seven BIG Michael A. Tranghese EAST teams participated in Commissioner bowl games. Two of the five emerged victorious, including Connecticut which went to its first bowl game and came home with a 3910 victory over Toledo in the Motor City Bowl. Louisville and Cincinnati also earned bowl victories last season, with the Cardinals defeating Boise State, 44-40, in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, and the Bearcats beating Marshall, 32-14, in the PlainsCapital Fort Worth Bowl. Over the last five seasons, the BIG EAST has compiled one of the best winning percentages of any BCS conference in bowl games. BIG EAST Conference teams are 15-10 in postseason play since 2000. The BIG EAST has been a frequent contender for the national championship. Eight times in the league’s 14 seasons a BIG EAST squad has been in a bowl game, playing for a claim to the national crown. A BIG EAST team has competed in the BCS championship game in three of the last six years. The BIG EAST has always been proud of its football student-athletes for their academic achievements. In 2004, the BIG EAST had one of the eight national winners of the National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Award. West Virginia offensive lineman Jeff Berk was the BIG EAST representative. Four players were named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America Team. The honorees were Syracuse’s Matt Tarullo (first team), Pittsburgh’s Vince Crochunis and Dan Stephens (first team), and Berk (second team). Since its birth, the BIG EAST has been a national power, both on and off the field. Commissioner Michael Tranghese served as coordinator of the BCS for two years from 2002-03. He has spearheaded the development of BIG EAST football since its beginning.

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

The BIG EAST Conference’s entrance into football was announced on February 5, 1991. The league gained instant notice and credibility with its level of excellence on the field and with its television and bowl relationships. The BIG EAST has been a charter member of each of the major bowl agreements with conferences, beginning with The Bowl Coalition in 1992 followed by The Bowl Alliance in `95. The Bowl Championship Series began in `98 and will continue through the 2005 season. Recently, it was announced that the BIG EAST will continue as a founding member through the end of a new BCS agreement that will begin in 2006. Extensive television exposure and the BIG EAST have been synonymous terms. For football, the league established its own regional television package in 1991 before it had played a game. The BIG EAST Television Network immediately was the largest regional college football network in the country. The BIG EAST has television agreements with ABC and ESPN that run through the 2007 season. Both agreements ensure that ABC or ESPN telecasts a BIG EAST game virtually every week of the year. ESPN Regional Television owns broadcasting rights for all telecasts not assigned to ABC or ESPN. ERT, which took over for the BIG EAST Network in 1996, produces and distributes additional games, including a BIG EAST Game of the Week, through syndication, local markets and pay-perview. The BIG EAST has always aligned itself with prestigious bowl games. The league champion plays in the Tostitos Fiesta, FedEx Orange, Nokia Sugar or Rose Bowls as part of its membership in the Bowl Championship Series. The BIG EAST and the Toyota Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla. have a multi-year pact, which allows the Gator Bowl to select a BIG EAST bowleligible team after the league’s representative in the Bowl Championship Series has been determined. The Insight Bowl, which is held in Phoenix, Ariz., is in its eighth year as a partner with the BIG EAST. The Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte, N.C. is in its fourth year with the BIG EAST in 2005. BIG EAST teams have enjoyed plenty of success in recent years. League squads have played in 23 bowl games on or after New Year’s Day.

USF AND THE NFL NFL Director of Operations Gene Washington took to the podium Sunday April 22 to open Day 2 of the 2001 Draft and gave the entire “NFL Nation” a quick study in just how far the University of South Florida football program had progressed since its start-up in 1996. Just after 11 a.m.,Washington announced that the New England Patriots had traded to acquire the first pick of the fourth round, and with that pick, the Patriots made USF offensive tackle Kenyatta Jones the answer to what will remain among the top trivia questions in USF history.The Patriots made Jones the first NFL draft choice ever from USF. But Washington wasn’t done with the study in USF success. He quickly stepped back to the podium and announced, “with the second pick of the fourth round, the Cleveland Browns select defensive back Anthony Henry, also from the University of South Florida.” Soon after Henry’s selection, even Washington was wondering about this South Florida program.When he took to the podium to announce the third pick of the fourth round, he seemed almost mystified when he announced, “this must be some kind of record... “With the third pick of the fourth round, the Arizona Cardinals select placekicker Bill Gramatica, from the University of South Florida.” One, two, three...an official run on USF Bulls in the NFL Draft. Watching the television in his Tampa home, USF head coach Jim Leavitt literally ran circles through the house in sheer excitement. “I’m going crazy,” Leavitt admitted seconds after Gramatica was selected. “I just can’t stand it. I’m so excited. I’m so excited.” Within the three days following the 2001 draft, four more USF players long snapper Ryan Benjamin, defensive back Glenn Davis, defensive end Shawn Hay and receiver Scott McCready - signed NFL free agent contracts. And 1999 USF alum Tony Umholtz, a punter, also signed a 2001 free agent contract. For Jones, Henry and Gramatica, the three draftees in 2001, success did not end on Draft Day. Jones - and McCready, a developmental roster player with the Patriots - each won a Super Bowl XXXVI ring with New England’s upset victory over the St. Louis Rams. Ryan Benjamin, a long snapper who signed as a free agent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2002, would give the Bulls yet another Super Bowl champ. And J.R. Reed would play in the January 2005 Super Bowl with Philadelphia. Henry was Cleveland’s nickel back and tied with Tampa Bay Buccaneer Ronde Barber to lead the entire NFL with 10 interceptions. He now plays for the Dallas Cowboys. And prior to a midseason knee injury, Gramatica had won the placekicking job at Arizona. For Leavitt, his staff and the players who have come through his program since 1996, the excitement of the NFL Draft and the ensuing free agent signings was yet another sign of what’s on the horizon for the burgeoning USF program. Perhaps Hay, who along with Benjamin and Joey Sipp, was one of just three Bulls to play in each of the 44 games through the program’s first four years sums up the progress best. “This just shows how far USF has come,” he said upon signing with the San Francisco 49ers in 2001 before playing in NFL Europe in 2002. “This has opened some eyes and put us on the map. “Just think, (in 1997) we were nervous to be playing against Kentucky Wesleyan (in the program’s first-ever game). Now we’re at this point. It’s mind boggling.” In 2003, minds had more to digest as three more USF players – Kawika Mitchell (Kansas City Chiefs), Shurron Pierson (Oakland Raiders) and DeAndrew Rubin (Green Bay Packers) - were drafted. Mitchell, a linebacker, was taken in the second round, making him the highest-ever draft choice from USF. The trio was joined by free agent signees Marquel Blackwell (New York Jets), Hugh Smith (Baltimore Ravens) and Maurice Tucker (Cincinnati Bengals). And in 2004, Reed was a fourth round pick by Philadelphia, while DeJuan Green (Oakland), Elgin Hicks (Indianapolis), Maurice Jones and Huey Whittaker (Pittsburgh) signed free agent contracts.
