USF STORYLINES COACHING ‘EM UP

USF head coach Jim Leavitt (page 26) is now the sole remaining member of the original USF coaching staff from 1996 (when the program simply practiced for one year before playing). But Leavitt wastes no time pondering where everyone went. Rather, he’s brought in Dan McCarney (pages 35-36)– only the longest tenured head coach in the Big 12 (at Iowa State) – and well-respected offensive coach Mike Canales, who was actually on that original USF staff before stints at NC State and Arizona as well as a stop in the NFL with the New York Jets. Canales (page 31) will function as pass game coordinator and coach the receivers. Also new to the full-time USF staff in 2007 are offensive line coach Mike Simmonds (page 38) and tight ends coach Larry Scott (page 38), both of whom were graduate assistants in 2006. Meanwhile, Greg Gregory (page 34) returns for his third year on the staff, but his first in the role of offensive coordinator.

Davis, of course, coached the Miami Hurricanes from 1995 to 2000, compiling a 51-20 record, while leading the team to one outright and two shared Big East championships. Davis was also an assistant coach with the Hurricanes from 1984 to 1988, including the 1987 National Championship season.

FUTURE SCHEDULES While the Big East portion of USF’s schedule will be set on an annual basis, the following non-conference games have been scheduled – and are subject to change: 2008 Aug. 30 Sept. 6 Sept. 13 Sept. 20 Sept. 27

TENNESSEE MARTIN at UCF KANSAS at Florida International at NC State

With what appears to be the deepest pool of running backs in several years and a dual threat quarterback in Matt Grothe, the USF offense (page 14), which improved 35 spots from 2005 to rank 44th nationally in 2006, may just have a chance to be the most balanced offense in the school’s 11 seasons of play. Grothe returns at quarterback, and a backfield that includes returning starter Ben Williams plus Moises Plancher, who had been named starter at the outset last year only to sustain a torn ACL in the first series of the season, junior college transfer Shawn Cannon and promising freshmen Aston Samuels and Mike Ford, should make his passing opportunities that much easier. And that’s not even taking into account that Grothe himself led the team in rushing last year.

BALANCE ACT

The defense (page 16) isn’t to be forgotten. Other than one small “blip” in 2004, defensive coordinator Wally Burnham and his defensive staff have been remarkable consistent through the years.With Dan McCarney adding his defensive “teeth” to the staff, plus honor candidates Ben Moffitt (LB), Mike Jenkins (CB) and Trae Williams (CB), the USF defense once again appears to be in great hands. Momentum could be a real key for the unit as well. After all, look at what the Bulls – who return eight starters – did in the final two games last season. In a 24-19 win at seventh ranked West Virginia, USF held the number two rushing team in the nation to 132 yards, some 170 below its average. Heisman hopeful Steve Slaton had just 43 yards and quarterback Pat White ran for just 17. If not for a receiver reverse that picked up 57 yards by itself, the run game would have been essentially grounded completely. Then in the Papajohns.com Bowl, USF held East Carolina to just 54 yards on 32 carries and only seven points in a 24-7 Bulls win.

BUTCH AND THE SUNSHINE STATE When North Carolina (page 72) travels to meet the Bulls in Raymond James Stadium September 22, it not only marks the first time a non-conference BCS opponent will play USF at home, but it also becomes the first college game back in the State of Florida for first-year Tar Heels coach Butch Davis.

MULTI-MEDIA PARTNERS ISP On June 6, 2007, the University of South Florida Department of Athletics entered into a ten-year multimedia contract with ISP Sports, the country’s leader in the college sports marketing industry. The deal, worth a minimum of $22 million strategically aligns both ISP Sports and ESPN Regional Television as USF’s multimedia rights holders. Under the terms of the agreement, ISP Sports will conduct full management of USF Athletics sales and marketing, while ESPN Regional TV, which previously held USF’s marketing rights, continues to provide support in various areas including distribution of local and regional television. “We are extremely pleased to have developed a unique partnership with two of the top multimedia rights holders in the country,” says Woolard.“ISP Sports brings its well earned status as the strongest marketer of college athletics in the country, and we continue to enjoy a healthy partnership with ESPN.This new partnership promises to increase awareness of the USF brand nationwide and provides additional resources assisting our student-athletes to be competitive on a national stage.” ISP will produce and market a variety of corporate sponsorship opportunities involving Bulls sports, including live radio programming (game broadcasts and coaches call-in shows), signage in athletic facilities, and at-event promotional activities. The company will also serve as a sales representative for the official athletic website (www.GoUSFBulls.com) along with various athletic department publications. Among the many objectives of this partnership are plans to develop USF Football radio broadcasts in Spanish as well as radio broadcasts of USF Men’s Baseball and USF Women’s Softball home contests. ISP will also work to expand USF Athletics’ current broadcast outlets. “We have worked with ESPN Regional on individual projects in the past but are delighted to now be aligning with them in this capacity,” says Ben Sutton, Chairman and CEO of ISP, America’s Home for College Sports. “In addition, we are extremely excited to form a new partnership with the athletic program at the University of South Florida.” Based in Winston-Salem, NC, ISP is the multimedia rights holder for 45 collegiate athletic properties, including Big East members Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Villanova. Additionally, ISP is the exclusive marketing partner of the Big East Conference. “In conjunction with ISP, this opportunity will continue to build on the outstanding relationships ESPN has enjoyed with the University of South Florida,” says Pete Derzis, Senior Vice President of ESPN Regional. “The university will reap tremendous benefits from this collaboration.” The South Florida ISP Networks team in Tampa consists of General Manager Chris Lahey, Associate General Manager Brett Dulaney, Senior Account Executive Sarah Kay, and Account Executive Ivy Willing.

vision exposure, including several national appearances.With its affiliation in the BIG EAST Conference, USF heads in 2007 with unprecedented national television coverage as ESPN owns all BIG EAST(and member schools) television rights in a record-setting contract. In 2007, USF is already assured of no fewer than three nationally televised games on the ESPN family, including a first-ever appearance on the prestigious Thursday night ESPN Game.The Bulls make that debut at Rutgers. But even before that, USF will play at Auburn and at home against West Virginia on ESPN2. As the season progresses, USF could add more national appearances on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN360 or ABC. 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 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 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, which will air on WDAE 620, a sister station to WFLA.The Jim Leavitt Show will occur live this year at The Bull Ring on Fowler Avenue, just three miles from campus. Robinson enjoyed a seven-year NFL career as a defensive back with the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, after earning All-America 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. 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.

RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM

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 44-10 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.Tampa Bay and Raymond James will again host a Super Bowl (XLIII) in January 2009. The facility also continues a proud tradition as the finest natural grass surface in the country.The bermuda-sodded 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 For a second straight year, USF football players took their community involvement on the road, visiting patients in the UAB Childrens Hospital while preparing for the 2006 Papajohns.com Bowl last December.The Bulls had done the same thing while in Charlotte for the Meineke Car Care Bowl in 2005 at Levine’s Children Hospital.

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

That has hardly taken away from the continued support of community activities in Tampa Bay, USF’s own backyard. Highlighting a large list of 2006 activities was a joint effort with the Hillsborough County State Attorney’s Office in handing out Christmas presents to children at a low-income elementary school. Quarterback Matt Grothe, center Nick Capogna, linebacker Stephen Nicholas, defensive end George Selvie and offensive tackle Marc Dile helped make many Holiday wishes come true. In addition to representing USF on the fields of play, the student-athletes take pride in giving time to their Tampa Bay community in the form of volunteer services with a hope for impacting lives, especially those of children. The football Bulls join with athletic department staff and student-athletes from throughout USF’s 18-sport athletic program to form a solid base in the Tampa Bay community.

George Selvie (95) and Stephen Nicholas (51) were among five USF players who helped hand out holiday presents at DeSoto Elementary in December 2006

Since 1998-99, the “USF Student-Athlete 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.

Heart Out” where staff and student-athletes are split into two groups to spruce up a selected home where the owner is not able to do so. One group prepares the home for painting while the second handles the painting duties. 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.

Andre Hall, D’Juan Brown, Tim Jones, Johnnie Jones and Terrance Royal took time at the Meineke Car Bowl to visit patients at Levine’s Children Hospital

USF belongs to the community and Bull studentathletes know their visibility and consistent constructive activity is a key to having the community realize their commitment to it.

Bulls Won’t Stand Still in Effort to Seek Even Higher Level of Success After 10 seasons of University of South Florida football, there are few if any surprises when it comes to head coach Jim Leavitt’s formula for success. He simply won’t allow past success to get in the way of present and future success. Who could blame the architect of USF football if he were to rattle off the list of team accolades in the first 10 years? A meteoric rise from non-existence to BCS football Membership in the Big East Conference Wins at seventh ranked West Virginia (2006) and vs. ninth ranked Louisville (2005) Back-to-back bowl bids, including a championship in the 2006 Papajohns.com Bowl A 70-43 record in 10 seasons, despite the fact football had never been played at USF 10 players who have been on regular season NFL rosters, including four who have been on Super Bowl participants, with three of them earning a championship ring But for all that – and more – Leavitt is focused solely on the 2007 season.And while almost every preseason publication has given the Bulls Top 25 consideration, including a 21st place ranking by The Sporting News, the head coach is keeping the focus within. “If you’re standing still, you’re really moving backwards,” says Leavitt. “We have to work every single day to get better.We can’t rest. Our coaches know that. Our players know that.There’s so much we haven’t accomplished yet.And to do that, we have to work.” The ethic will be the same as it always has been around Leavitt.All work. But it also will play out with a largely reformulated staff.When four assistants on the 2006 staff took new positions elsewhere – including offensive line coach Greg Frey, who was the final member of Leavitt’s original staff in 1997 – Leavitt was pure to form and didn’t look back for a second. He immediately promoted tight ends coach Greg Gregory and graduate assistant Mike Simmonds to replace departed offensive coordinator Rod Smith and line coach Frey respectively.To fill Gregory’s tight end role, he promoted graduate assistant and former USF lineman Larry Scott. Quickly thereafter, Leavitt put on his recruiting cap and pulled some coups by bringing in longtime Iowa State head coach Dan McCarney to replace Bernard Clark on the defensive line, and he “recalled” an original staff member – Mike “Chico” Canales – to coordinate the pass game take over the receivers from Lawrence Dawsey. McCarney was only the longest-tenured head coach in the Big 12 when he left Iowa State and Canales worked with both Phillip Rivers and Jerricho Cotchery as the pass game coordinator at North Carolina State. Later, he was the receivers coach for the New York Jets, working with Santana Moss. Leavitt is hardly standing still.And neither will his team.

THE OFFENSE In 2006, USF filled in the missing piece of the offense from the previous few seasons – a multi-faceted quarterback in then-redshirt-freshman Matt Grothe. Grothe gave the Bulls a dual threat quarterback they hadn’t seen since career-record holder Marquel Blackwell finished out his senior season in 2002. So even with the departure of all-Big East running back Andre Hall, the 2006 USF offense improved its numbers dramatically over 2005, climbing 35 spots to 44th in the national rankings. Now, in 2007, with a deeper pool of running backs than last season, hopes are high for further improvement as the Bulls can perhaps see even more balance. Although Greg Gregory is in his first season as coordinator, he has been on the staff for the past two years and will surely build on what the Bulls have done best in their offense.At the same time, he has a wealth of experience in coaching run offenses, while pass game coordinator Mike Canales offers the perfect complement, promising an outstanding leadership team in 2007.

OFFENSIVE LINE Unlike 2006, when USF lost three-fifths of its offensive line, the Bulls’ front line remains intact in 2007.That will be some comfort to first-year

Sophomore quarterback Matt Grothe figures to have more backfield options for a balanced USF offense in 2007

offensive line coach Mike Simmonds, who despite that status is no stranger to his players.After a long and ultra-successful career as a Tampa high school coach, Simmonds was a graduate assistant with USF in 2006. Although the line does return in full, it heads into the fall with at least one question mark. Left guard Matt Huners (Jr., 6-3, 290) tore an ACL in the 2007 Spring Game and his date for readiness remains to be seen. Anchoring the line will be returning center Nick Capogna (Sr., 6-3, 275), a heady player who fills a strong leadership capacity and has received preseason attention for all-Big East honors. Despite his status as one of the smallest centers in BCS football, he is a rock for the Bulls.While Capogna has remained healthy, the Bulls are fortunate to have very capable backups in Jake Griffin (Jr., 6-4, 305) and Ryan Schmidt (Jr., 6-4, 305), both of who also play guard. If Huners can go after rehabilitating his knee, he figures to get the nod at left guard, where he madde10 of his 11 starts last season after one start at left tackle. If he’s not ready, Schmidt can ably step right in, he himself having eight games at right guard last season after transferring from Kansas State. At left tackle, Marc Dile (Jr., 6-4, 305) is the leading candidate after splitting his 13 game appearances in 2006 between the right and left tackle positions. Injuries limited him to seven starts, but he persevered well and saw action in every game. Heading into the fall, Jared Carnes (Sr., 6-7, 315) is Dile’s likely backup. On the right side,Walter Walker (Sr., 6-5, 320), is a proven veteran at tackle. He is the most experience lineman on the squad, having started 22 of the past 25 games, including all 13 in 2006.While he joins center Capogna as a leader, he is also versatile. He started five games at right guard and eight at right tackle in 2006. At right guard, USF will give a strong look to two freshmen players – Zach Hermann (Fr., 6-3, 310) and Jeremiah Warren (Fr., 6-4, 320) in filling Schmidt’s spot if he has to move into Huners’ left-side job.Another possibility is promising talent Danny Tolley (So., 6-6, 310) who made an early start at right tackle in 2006 before battling injuries throughout the year.

TIGHT ENDS In 2006, USF threw to its tight ends more than it had since its first two years of competition in 1997 and 1998.While it was still 27 receptions among four tight ends, it did mark an increased receiving role for the position. Two of those four tight ends, including the top pass catcher Cedric Hill (Jr., 6-3, 240), return in 2007, along with the promising Ben Busbee (So., 6-3, 240) who played through a pinful shoulder injury in 2006. Meanwhile, the Bulls lose graduates Will Bleakley and Devin Gordon. Hill and Busbee each offer solid size and strength in helping in blocking schemes as well and will lead a group that includes many newcomers competing for a role, perhaps at first via special teams.

RECEIVERS With three of the top five pass catching receivers back from last season plus a talented group of redshirt freshmen from a year ago, first-year receivers coach and pas game coordinator Mike Canales will have plenty of talent to work with.Two other items in no short supply in this group are athleticism and height.There is plenty of both, and that bodes well in an offense that uses three and four-receiver sets. Taurus Johnson (Jr., 6-1, 190), Marcus Edwards (Jr., 5-11, 175) and Amarri Jackson (Sr., 6-5, 195) are the top returnees and combined to grab 90 catches for 1,215 yards and seven touchdowns.All three are athletic players who can run and catch, and even throw a pass here and there.Their return certainly offsets any loss felt in the departure of senior Ean Randolph, who led the Bulls with 49 catches for 506 yards in 2006. But beyond those three players, there is a group of talented, albeit untested players, who have the Bulls’ staff excited. Colby Erskin (So., 5-9, 185), Jessie Hester, Jr. (So., 6-0, 170) and Courtney Denson (Sr., 5-11, 190) have already see action for the Bulls and proven capable. Hester was one of several true freshmen (including Johnson and Edwards) to play in 2005 before he chose to use 2006 as a redshirt season. Denson, meanwhile has played quarterback and defensive back in addition to receiver and he enjoyed perhaps his finest spring season yet while remaining firm at receiver. Hester and Denson figure to split duty at an inside slot position in 2007, while Erskin, one of the faster players on the team, will play on the outside. Despite splitting his time in the spring between football and track – where he is an extremely promising 400-meters specialist – Carlton Mitchell (Fr., 6-4, 200) impressed with his size, speed, strenght and hands throughout his 2006 redshirt season. Like Mitchell, Edner Alcin (Fr., 6-2, 180),Antwon Hanks (So., 6-3, 210) and Jason Sherman (Fr., 6-4, 200) are all players who have displayed an ability to use their height and athleticism well in the USF offense, and now only need the opportunity to compete on game days.

O U RUNNING BACKS T L O O K

Ben Williams (Jr., 5-7, 190) did yeoman’s work as the workhorse of the USF backfield in 2006, blending his run and blocking skills well to complement the dual threat game of quarterback Matt Grothe.While Williams returns in 2007 after having won MVP honors in the Papajohns.com Bowl, it is clear running backs coach Carl Franks will have a far deeper bench to work with in the backfield. Williams, who ran for 436 yards and four touchdowns, is clearly still in the picture with a work ethic that will allow for nothing else. But with redshirt freshman Aston Samuels (Fr., 5-10, 190) and true freshman Mike Ford (Fr., 6-2, 210) plus a potentially healthy Moise Plancher (So, 5-9, 190) and junior college transfer Shawn Cannon (Jr., 5-11, 220) in the mix, USF figures to have its deepest and perhaps most talented offensive backfield since moving into Division I-A football. Samuels is a speedy and shifty runner who impressed as a redshirt and had a strong spring, while Ford arrives with lofty prep credentials that initially led to a commitment at Alabama before a year at prep school and a change of heart to be at USF. He thrilled in the USF Spring Game, but will need to continue to battle in the deep field of competitors. Plancher, meanwhile, was the opening game started in 2006 before he tore an ACL during what had been an impressive opening series of his very first collegiate game.While he remained limited throughout this past spring, he figures to be fully healthy this fall. And Cannon, who actually transferred in last season but opted for a redshirt, also impressed enough in the spring to make his case for a playing role.

QUARTERBACKS For the first time since the opening of the 2002 season, there is absolutely no question about the starting quarterback.While the 2002 season featured a senior, record-setter and fourth-year starter in Marquel Blackwell, 2007 starter Matt Grothe is still on the front end of recapturing the glory of the “Blackwell Era.” The 2006 Big East Rookie of the Year, Grothe has already eclipsed many of Blackwell’s USF record and he brings the same dual threat of run and pass that his predecessor had.The fact that Grothe will have a deeper and likely more talented pool of running backs behind him should only benefit him further in his sophomore season. If there is any uncertainty to be found, it is at the backup spot, where Grant Gregory (Jr., 6-1, 205) and Anthony Severino (Sr., 6-2, 185) return from last year, while Carlton Hill (Jr., 6-3, 220), a promising freshman back in 2005 returns to USF after a year away at junior college. While head coach Jim Leavitt has steadfastly touted the abilities of Gregory and Severino, neither has had much playing time beyond late game entries.And while Hill gained I-A experience in 2005, including a brief role in the Meineke Car Care Bowl, his talents proved much more raw than what Grothe’s have proven to be. All three – along with true freshman Alton Voss (Fr., 6-2, 210), will have every opportunity to battle for the top spot behind Grothe.

THE DEFENSE With the exception of one “blip” in 2004, the USF defense has been a tenacious trademark of USF football.And why not? Head coach Jim Leavitt is defensive-minded, and he has turned the unit over to one of the finest defensive minds in the college game – Wally Burnham. Now, in 2007, yet another defensive mind comes on board in the person of Dan McCarney, longtime head coach at Iowa State. Despite listening to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers about a position, McCarney opted to join Leavitt and staff, lending even further “teeth” to the defense. With eight starters back from a defense that allowed just 298 yards a game in ranking 25th in the nation last year, there is obviously a solid nucleus.And while the defense did its job throughout the 2006 season, the hopeful momentum from an incredible finish to the season could also be an asset. In its final regular season game, the defense limited number seven ranked West Virginia to 132 rushing yards, including just 43 from 2007 Heisman candidate Steve Slaton.The Mountaineers were ranked second in the nation with 303 rushing yards a game, while Slaton averaged 134.And WVU quarterback Patrick White, who averaged 101 yards rushing, was held to just 17. If not for a 57-yard wide receiver reverse, the WVU rushing damage would have been even further reduced. Then, in the season finale at the Papajohns.com Bowl, the Bulls’ defense

held East Carolina to one touchdown and just 54 yards rushing. But there are two major holes to fill among the three departed starters. USF will be without linebackers Stephen Nicholas, an Atlanta Falcon draft pick, and Patrick St. Louis, two extremely wise, experienced and talented players over the past four years.

DEFENSIVE LINE Perhaps more than any other spot on the roster, the defensive line offers a nice blend of experience between upper and lower classmen, at least among those battling hardest for the starting spots. Seniors Richard Clebert (Sr., 6-1, 305),Allen Cray (Sr., 6-0, 295), and Woody George (Sr., 6-3, 250) have the most experience of any USF linemen, but sophomores Aaron Harris (So, 6-4, 255) and George Selvie (So., 6-4, 245) had remarkable freshman seasons and senior Jarriett Buie (Sr., 64, 255), has proven capable despite some hard luck throughout his career. The best news regarding that group of six is that it combined for 45 starts last season alone, with each of the six earning starting time.That experience should prove valuable throughout 2007. Buie, Clebert, Cray and Selvie head into the fall as the projected starters from left to right, but George and Harris will push with George likely filling a dual role on the end and at tackle, while Harris is looking at playing inside at tackle.

LINEBACKERS It’s already been noted how big a loss USF faces with the departure of Stephen Nicholas and Patrick St. Louis. But USF just wouldn’t be USF without an outstanding NFL prospect at linebacker.And Ben Moffitt (Sr., 6-2, 240) fills the role all too well as the man in the middle. Moffitt will be the unit leader and he has plenty to back that up. He is on the Bronco Nagurski Watch List after starting the last 30 straight games for USF and leading the team in tackles in each of the past two seasons. The competition to replace Nicholas on the strong side figures to be a battle between Chris Robinson (So., 6-3, 240), who was a menace to opposing quarterbacks en route to Freshman All-America honors while playing a pass rush specialist role in 2006, and Tyrone McKenzie (Jr., 6-2,

230), who proved himself as a middle linebacker at Iowa State last season in making 129 tackles to finish eighth in the nation.With Moffitt entrenched in the middle at USF, McKenzie looks to make his impact on the outside. On the weak side, Brouce Mompremier (Jr., 6-1, 225), who has been proven promising in the time he has been able to get behind St. Louis over the years and as a special teams player, enters the fall as the projected starter with Sam Miller (Sr., 5-11, 210), a nobody-will-outwork me player who finds a way to get things done, also competing for the job. Alonzo McQueen (Fr., 6-1, 230) figures as Moffitt’s backup, while a wild card in the linebacking corps is junior college transfer Donte Spires (So., 6-3, 240), who could break into the lineup quickly in one of the outside spots.

SECONDARY When the discussion on your secondary begins with the fact that your two starting senior cornerbacks have a combined 59 career starts, and each has earned an all-Big East team distinction in one of the past two seasons, you have to be feeling pretty good.And that’s exactly the position USF finds itself in. Trae Williams (Sr., 5-10, 185) led the Big East and tied a USF school record with seven interceptions in 2006 while earning first team all-conference honors. Mike Jenkins (Sr., 6-0, 200), meanwhile, broke up 15 passes and intercepted another, all the while impressing with his speed.While Williams was gaining the accolades in 2006, it was Jenkins who was a second team all-Big East pick in 2005, making it difficult for opposing quarterbacks to choose a side to throw to. Tyller Roberts (Jr., 6-1, 190), who has been seeing playing time since he was a true freshman, and speedster Ryan Gilliam (Sr., 5-10, 175) are extremely capable cover corners in their own right.While they play behind Williams and Jenkins, USF coaches have had full confidence inserting them into games in any situation. Roberts is also one of the most significant contributors on USF special teams. Carlton Williams (Jr., 6-4, 205) returns to start at strong safety after opening up nine of his 13 games in 2006. His 43 tackles were seventh on the team and second among all the safeties.While sometimes starter Danny Verpaele (Jr., 5-11, 200) sits out in 2007, Louis Gachette (Jr., 6-3, 205) is a hard-hitting and experienced backup to Williams.While he has not started a game in his two seasons, Gachette had played extensively in all types of defensive packages, and he has three career interceptions. Jeremy Burnett, the starting free safety has departed and signed with the

U S F

Minnesota Vikings, leaving the one gap in the secondary. Nate Allen (So., 6-2, 19) – a converted quarterback just like Gachette – is the likely replacement, and his talents have been so impressive that coaches were quick to move him to secondary right away in his true freshman season because he displayed too much athleticism not to be on the field. Allen will be pushed hard by Jerome Murphy (So., 6-1, 190), perhaps the hardest hitting of several hard hitters in the secondary. Murphy has also played some corner and in nickel packages, providing plenty of versatility, while he is also outstanding on special teams.

and Delbert Alvardo (So., 6-0, 175) each struggled with handling punts in the first two games, kicker head coach Jim Leavitt turned to placekicker Justin Teachey (Jr., 5-11, 170) to punt rugby-style. The move proved beneficial as Teachey not only punted effectively, but he also proved both athletic and effective on a few fake punts.Teachey continued to handle all kickoffs and he returns to handle the dual responsibilities in 2007. Alvarado, meanwhile, persevered through the punting struggles and won the placekicking duties on field goals and PATs, kicking a BIG EAST record 56-yard field goal vs. Syracuse. In that same game, he added a 47yard Eric Setser (Jr., 6-1, 240) took over long snaps after a shoulder injury to senior starter Ryan Bourdeau midway through 2006, and he returns in that capacity this year. Backup quarterback Anthony Severino handles the holding chores on all placements. Receivers Taurus Johnson and Colby Erskin are the leading contenders to return kicks, while Erskin and fellow receiver Marcus Edwards, lead the possibilities for returning punts.

THE SCHEDULE USF has what very well may be the finest home schedule ever in its 11 seasons of competition with Big East foes Louisville,West Virginia and Cincinnati – three Bowl teams – plus North Carolina, who becomes the first-ever non-conference BCS opponent team to play at USF.At the same time, it marks the return of first year Tar Heel coach and long-time Miami head coach Butch Davis to the Sunshine State. North Carolina is hardly the lone non-conference BCS opponent however, as the Bulls must travel to Auburn in the second week of the season.That game marks the first of three USF games already scheduled for an ESPN family of networks appearance (ESPN 2).The Bulls also play West Virginia on ESPN2 and at Rutgers on ESPN.

Jim Leavitt -

That came just over two years after he had signed a new contract through 2009. At this point, Leavitt is the alpha and omega of USF football. He is the only coach the school has ever had as he was presented the job on December 12, 1995. He then went about starting football from scratch and leading the program from an inaugural season in 1997 to I-A status in 2001, Conference USA in 2003 and now the BIG EAST and BCS football in 2005. Having been “forced” to leave the state to play collegiate football and baseball in the mid-1970s, the latest 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 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.” After the first 10 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 nonexistence to Division I-A football in just five years time, Leavitt has led the program to an impressive 70-43 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. In 2002, his team finished 9-2 and seriously contended for a Bowl Game, even as a I-A Independent.The Bulls also received votes in both major polls and ranked 18th in the final New York

T H E C O A C H E S

Head Coach

Jim Leavitt is working on a new theory. It states, “You can never leave home again.” 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 just 10 years, Leavitt turned a non-existent program into a Bowl team when the Bulls played in the 2005 Meineke Car Care Bowl. Just one year later, Leavitt and the Bulls earned the program’s first-ever Bowl victory with a 24-7 win over East Carolina in the Papajohns.com Bowl. And on two occasions in the past four years when prominent programs showed interest, Leavitt has solidified his commitment to USF with a new contract. On November 30, 2005, Leavitt agreed to a seven-year, $7 million deal to stay with the Bulls.

Times Computer Poll, one of several polls utilized by the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) at the time.

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. Having blazed yet another milestone in directing the program into its first-ever season in Conference USA in 2003, Leavitt and his squad made a rapid move into the BIG EAST after just 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. Picked to finish seventh in the eight-team BIG EAST in USF’s debut season of 2005, Leavitt led the Bulls to a major win over then-ninth ranked Louisville and the Bulls finished third in the league. The story in 2006 is no less impressive as Leavitt and his staff molded a team that improved every week and concluded its regular season with an eyeopening 24-19 win at seventh ranked West Virginia, before the history-making Bowl win in Birmingham, Ala. 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 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 110, 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-to-back 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 All-America honors, 13 conference titles and set new school records in virtually every event. In 1988,

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. 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. 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. 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.

T H E C O A C H E S

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 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 codefensive 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 22-86-1 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 nine-win 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.

“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 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 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. 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 (the exact year USF was founded), 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 an 11-year-old daughter, Deandra. He married the former Jody Freeman on July 4, 2007.

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.

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.

DEVELOPING A BASE OF CONSTITUENT

Wally Burnham T H E C O A C H E S

Associate Head Coach/ Defensive Coordinator/ Linebackers

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? Burnham will mark his 40th year as a coach in 2007, with 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. At USF, he has been promoted three times in his seven seasons and enters 2007 as associate head coach and defensive coordinator, after taking sole control of the defense in 2006. He had been the co-coordinator from 2001-2005. Burnham has done plenty to prove Leavitt’s decision to hire him seven years ago to be a very astute one. Although his role was coaching the defensive ends in 2000 before assuming a more prominent role as co-coordinator in 2001, Burnham’s imprint has been on the USF defense from the outset. In 2006, the USF defense ranked 25th in the nation and it has ranked as high as 17th nationally in 2002, 2003 and 2005, giving the unit four top 25 rankings in a five-year span. 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 two USF linebackers Kawika Mitchell and Stephen Nicholas – who have since gone on to the NFL. Mitchell is USF’s all-time leader in tackles and the highest-ever drafted Bull, going to the Kansas City Chiefs in the second round in 2003. Nicholas, who just completed his eligibility in 2006, left as USF’s all-time sacks leader and was drafted this past April. Ben Moffitt, yet another star pupil for Burnham, is a senior in 2007 and could become the third drafted USF linebacker in five years. 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 and 1998. 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 threeyear starting linebacker at South Carolina from 1994-97, and he is now an assistant coach at Elon. Patrick Burnham is USF’s Director of High School Relations.

Mike Canales Pass Game Coordinator/ Receivers

A member of USF’s original coaching staff as the first-ever offensive coordinator when the program was instituted in 1996, Mike Canales returns to the Bulls after six seasons that included time at both BCS programs and within the NFL. In his first stint at USF from 1996-2000, Canales, 45, was responsible for the development USF’s first-ever quarterback Chad Barnhardt and his stellar successor, Marquel Blackwell.Tutoring quarterbacks has been a Canales forte as he left USF in 2001 to join North Carolina State as quarterbacks coach and pass game coordinator.While at NC State (2001-2002), where he coached Phillip Rivers, and also helped develop future NFL receiver Jeriricho Cotchery. In 2002, NC State finished 11-3 and ranked 12th in the final AP poll after knocking off Notre Dame in the Gator Bowl.That season, the Wolfpack averaged 392 yards on offense, including 247.7 passing yards.The team had a 3,000 yard passer in Rivers, a 1,000-yard receiver in Cotchery and a 1,000-yard rusher in T.A. McLendon. In 2001, the NC State offense averaged 358 yards, including 247 through the air.The team set a school record with a 64.4 completion percentage through the season. In 2003, Canales joined Herm Edwards’ staff with the New York Jets, working one season as the receivers coach. While with the Jets, Canales worked with Santana Moss, who finished among the top 15 NFL receivers that season with 74 catches for 1,105 yards and 10 touchdowns. His TD catches tied him for fourth most in the NFL and he was selected as an alternate for the Pro Bowl that year. For the past three seasons (2004-06), Canales was at the University of Arizona, where he coached true freshman quarterback Willie Tuitama to honorable mention All-America status in just five games that include a win over number seven UCLA and a road victory at Oregon State. In 2005,Tuitama established the sixth best season pass efficiency in Arizona history. Between 2004 and 2005, Canales developed an offense that improved by 60 yards per game and the average in Tuitama’s appearances was 402.6. Before Canales first came to USF in 1996, he had been the quarterbacks coach for one season (1995) at Pacific, that coming on the heels of eight years (1987-94) at Snow College, where he was offensive coordinator with special emphasis on receivers and quarterbacks.While at Snow, Canales also coached the softball team for seven years, leading the team to six region titles. Canales began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Brigham Young, working with quarterbacks, receivers and defensive backs in 1985 and 1986. His coaching career got a solid boost from a strong playing background. Canales had been the starting quarterback for three years at Utah State, where he also played one season of baseball. He earned a bachelor of science degree in speech communication from Utah State in 1984, and he went on to complete a Master’s in professional leadership from Brigham Young in 1986. Canales has four sons, Christopher (24),Tyler (20), who is serving an LDS Mission in Honduras, Dakota (17) and Cameron (6), in addition to a stepson Aaron (29), stepdaughter Christy (25) and grandson, Afton (6 months) with his wife, Carol.

Troy Douglas Safeties

T H E C O A C H E S

Troy Douglas enters his second season as the safeties coach for USF and his 19th season as a full-time college coach. Douglas joined the Bulls in 2006 after two years at Indiana, where he coached the cornerbacks. Among his 18 previous seasons of collegiate coaching, Douglas has spent 16 working in the defensive secondary, and at USF, he focuses on the safeties, while working in conjunction with cornerbacks coach Rich Rachel. In addition to his two years at Indiana, Douglas has coached at South Carolina State (2003), Michigan State (2001-2002), SMU (19972000), UTEP (1995-1996), East Tennessee State (1992-1994) and West Chester (1989-1991). At Indiana, Douglas instructed 2004 Big Ten all-freshman cornerback Tracy Porter and helped build a unit that had a +4 turnover margin. Although he spent the 2003 season as the secondary coach at South Carolina State, Douglas arrived at Indiana as no stranger to Big Ten football. Douglas spent two years as secondary coach at Michigan State, and despite losing four cornerbacks through the 2001 season, the Spartans still ranked 14th in the nation in pass defense. In his one year at South Carolina State between his Big Ten jobs with Michigan State and Indiana, Douglas was instrumental in building a defense that led I-AA in pass efficiency defense. At SMU, Douglas coached running backs for one season (1997) before moving over to head the secondary.Two of his students – Jacoby Rhinehart (Arizona) and Donald Mitchell (Tennessee) were drafted by NFL teams. In 1998, SMU was ranked 14th nationally in defense. In his two seasons at UTEP, Douglas coached the secondary in 1995 and running backs in 1996, after three seasons as the secondary coach at East Tennessee State. At ETSU, the Buccaneers ranked third in the nation in pass efficiency defense, and one of Douglas’ players – Donnie Abraham went on to a very successful career with the New York Jets that included a Pro Bowl appearance. Douglas began a full-time coaching career as the defensive backs coach at West Chester (Pa.) in 1989, where he coached Lee Woodall, a Pro Bowl player in 1995 and 1997 as a San Francisco 49er. A native of Jacksonville, Fla., Douglas was a four-year starter at wide receiver for Appalachian State from 1983-86. He led the team in receiving as a junior and his 90 career receptions for 1,401 yards still rank him among the top five in school history.With a bachelor’s degree in communications arts (1988), he was a graduate assistant at his alma mater before his first full-time position at West Chester. Douglas and his wife, Rebecca, have two children – Tanner (7) and Taryn (5).

Carl Franks Running Backs/ Recruiting Coordinator

Now in his fourth season at USF, Franks was no stranger to State of Florida football when he joined the Bulls in 2004. After four-plus years of experience as a Division I-A head coach, Franks returned to Florida in 2004, where he assisted in building a powerful offense with Steve Spurrier at the University of Florida in the 1990s. In addition to coaching running backs at USF, he oversees the recruiting efforts, a responsibility in which he proved ultra-successful during his tenure at Florida as well. In 2004 and 2005, Franks tutored Bulls’ running back Andre Hall, a junior college transfer who came to USF at the same time Franks arrived. In those two years, Franks helped mold Hall into USF’s all-time leading rusher with back-toback single season rushing record seasons. In 2006, Franks worked with a largely inexperienced group of runners and developed Benjamin Williams into the MVP of the Papajohns.com Bowl. 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 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-frombehind 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 schoolrecord 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 Blue-Gray 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. 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 teams 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 scholarathlete. He graduated from Duke in 1983 with a degree in psychology. Franks, 46, has two daughters, Brittany (18) and Courtney (15).

Greg Gregory Offensive Coordinator

T H E C O A C H E S

Promoted to offensive coordinator this heading into this past spring, Greg Gregory is no stranger to leading that side of the ball. Prior to joining USF as tight ends coach in 2005, Gregory had been an offensive coordinator for 13 seasons and a head coach for two years. By the time he joined USF in 2005, Gregory had been coaching college football for a total of 24 years, including the two seasons as a head coach and 16 years at Army, where he spent nine seasons as the offensive coordinator. He spent the final seven of his nine years at Army as the associate head coach. Gregory also earned Athlon Magazine’s Assistant Coach of the Year award in 1996. He had also been the offensive coordinator for Richmond and Ohio. Gregory spent 2005 and 2006 working with the USF tight ends, but even then he was an influential contributor to the overall offensive strategy, making his promotion seamless. Prior to joining USF, Gregory was offensive coordinator at Ohio from 20012003, 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, Missouri, 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.

Dan McCarney Assistant Head Coach/ Defensive Line

• Iowa State won twice as many road games since the start of the 2000 season through 2005 (12) than ISU football won away from home during the entire decade of the 1990s (6). • Iowa State’s 36-31 win at Iowa in 2002 was the Cyclones’ fifthstraight victory against the Hawkeyes, a series first.The win marked ISU’s third-straight victory in Iowa City, matching Iowa State series wins at Iowa in 1894-95-97.The Cyclones’ 27-9 win at Iowa in 1998 snapped a 31-game winless streak on the road and was Iowa State’s first win over its instate rival in 15 years. • In 2002, Iowa State defeated three bowl teams in one season for the first time in school history (Iowa, Nebraska,Texas Tech).

Dan McCarney becomes the second former head coach from a BCS member school to join the USF coaching staff after 12 seasons as the top man at Iowa State,, where he was the longest tenured head coach in the Big 12 when he completed the 2006 season. McCarney, who will be the assistant head coach to Jim Leavitt and work with the defensive linemen, joins former Duke head coach Carl Franks, who is the Bulls running backs coach and recruiting coordinator. He led the Iowa State program from 1995-2006 and took the Cyclones to five Bowl games in a six-year stretch. In the 115 years of ISU football, only 16 teams have won seven games or more, and McCarney led five of those teams. He was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year in 2004 when the Cyclones were the Big 12 North CoChampions. McCarney remains the longest-serving (141 games) and winningest Cyclone head coach (56 victories) in school history. During his 12th season as Iowa State head coach in 2006, only eight head coaches among 119 NCAA Division I-A programs had been at their current school longer than McCarney. The list of accomplishments at Iowa State under McCarney’s watch is both long and impressive. Among those many accomplishments are the following: • Iowa State’s four-game Big 12 Conference win streaks in each of the 2004 and 2005 seasons had been equalled only one other time (1978) since Iowa State joined a conference for the 1907 season. In 2004, McCarney was the first ISU head football coach to earn coach of the year honors by conference writers or coaches since Earle Bruce in 1976 and 1977. • Iowa State’s 2004 five-win increase from the previous season ranked second nationally. • McCarney’s 2000 Cyclones were the first Iowa State team in 94 years to win nine games.The win over Pittsburgh in the Insight.com Bowl was ISU’s first-ever bowl victory and the Cyclones’ first bowl appearance since 1978. It had been 11 years since Iowa State’s last winning season. Iowa State’s new national standing was affirmed by its No. 25 national ranking on the final Associated Press poll, the Cyclones’ first AP poll appearance in more than 19 years. McCarney’s team also finished 23rd on the USA Today/ESPN Coaches’ Poll.

• Iowa State basked in the limelight in 2002, with two Fox Sports Net national telecasts, three appearances on ABC, national ESPN and ESPN2 telecasts and a pair of TBS national telecasts. In 2004, seven Iowa State games were televised.The 2004 regular-season finale vs. Missouri was seen by much of the country on ABC, and the Cyclones’ Independence Bowl win over Miami University was nationally broadcast. ABC did three Iowa State games in 2005 and the Cyclones played on national television on at Army (espn2), against Colorado (Fox Sports Net) and at Kansas (Fox Sports Net).The ISU Houston Bowl game vs. TCU was shown nationally on espn2. • The 2000 Cyclone offense ranked among the nation’s best and ranked third in school history, averaging nearly 425 yards per game. Under McCarney, Iowa State has had a balanced offensive attack. ISU produced a 1,000-yard rusher in McCarney’s first seven seasons in Ames. Troy Davis rushed for more than 2,000 yards in 1995 and 1996 and was a Heisman Trophy finalist both seasons.Tailback Ennis Haywood rushed for more than 1,000 yards in 2000 and 2001. Quarterback Sage Rosenfels produced the third-best passing season in school history in 2000 en route to a job with the NFL’s Miami Dolphins.The Iowan now plays for the Houston Texans. Quarterback Seneca Wallace, who plays for NFC champion Seattle in the NFL, was the Big 12 Conference’s Offensive Newcomer of the Year in 2001 and finished his Iowa State career as the Cyclones’ all-time total offense leader. Lineman Oliver Ross (Arizona) rounds out the former offensive Cyclones in the NFL. • McCarney was responsible for the rebirth of Iowa State’s defense, as the Cyclones made dramatic progress stopping opponents. Stats tell the story. Iowa State ranked among the Big 12 Conference’s first division in total defense in 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2005. ISU’s final 2004 total defense mark of 329.4 yards allowed per game was the school’s best effort since 1986.The Cyclone defense scored six touchdowns in 2004, ranking behind only the University of Miami. • The defense improved dramatically under McCarney. Iowa State allowed 44.8 points per game in 1997.That figure dipped to 18.5 points in 2005, ranking second in the Big 12. • Iowa State’s aggressive schemes ranked the Cyclones first in the Big 12 and 11th nationally in turnover margin in 2001. ISU was second in the league and 12th nationally in 2004 and first in the conference and seventh in NCAA Division I-A in 2005.The Cyclones’ 18 interceptions in 2001 were the most by an ISU defense since 1976. ISU’s 17 interceptions in 2004 ranked second the Big 12 and its 22 interceptions led the league last year.The 35 take-a-ways recorded by Iowa State in 2005 led the Big 12. In 2003, true freshman Jason Berryman was named the Big 12 Conference Defensive Newcomer of the Year. In 2004, linebacker Tim Dobbins was the league’s defensive newcomer of the year. Former Cyclone defenders in the NFL include Reggie Hayward (Jacksonville),

Ellis Hobbs (New England), Jordan Carstens (Carolina), James Reed (New York Jets) and Tim Dobbins (San Diego Chargers).

T H E C O A C H E S

• From McCarney’s arrival at Iowa State, the Cyclones moved into their new home, the Richard O. Jacobson Athletic Building, adjacent to Jack Trice Stadium.The $9.3 million award-winning Steve and Debbie Bergstrom Indoor Training Facility opened for spring football in March of 2004. A new video scoreboard and permanent Jack Trice Stadium lights made their debut in 2002. An all-natural grass field was laid in 1996. Jack Trice Stadium’s press box and individual sky suites opened in 1997, underscoring the Iowa State administration’s commitment to McCarney’s vision for making the ISU program a success.The Johnny Majors Practice Fields were dedicated in 1999. • The program’s academic performance was strong under McCarney as well. Only one Big 12 school placed more than the eight student-athletes representing Iowa State on the 2005 academic all-Big 12 first team. Defensive end Shawn Moorehead was a Verizon academic all-district VII selection last fall. ISU football student-athletes earned first-team all-Big 12 academic honors 67 times in an eight-year stretch under McCarney’s watch. Also under McCarney, Iowa State has boasted a pair of National Football Foundation post-graduate scholars (Todd Bandhauer and Dave Brcka). Anyone who watched McCarney’s rise in the coaching ranks would not be surprised by his many successes at every stop, well before he became head coach at Iowa State. A native of Iowa City, Iowa, McCarney was instrumental in rebuilding efforts that produced Big Ten titles and Rose Bowl berths at both Iowa and Wisconsin, two schools that regularly finished near the bottom of the league before his arrival. McCarney, 53, coached at Iowa for 13 seasons (1977-89), including 11 years under Hayden Fry, before becoming the defensive coordinator at Wisconsin under Barry Alvarez in 1990. It was at Iowa where McCarney first met USF head coach Jim Leavitt, while Leavitt was a graduate assistant with the Hawkeyes. McCarney’s defense was the foundation of the Wisconsin rebuilding effort. In the four seasons prior to his arrival in Wisconsin, the Badgers had a 9-36 record and attendance was at its lowest mark since World War II. In 1993,Wisconsin went 10-1-1, claimed its first Big Ten title in 31 years and scored a 21-16 win over UCLA in the Rose Bowl. Attendance at Wisconsin’s Camp Randall Stadium climbed more than 30,000 a game, and sellouts of more than 77,000 were the norm. During Wisconsin’s Rose Bowl season, the Badgers ranked 19th nationally against the rush, allowing just 130.3 yards per game, the sixth best mark in school history.The team allowed an average of 16.3 points

per game, its best effort in 30 years.The Badger defense also intercepted an NCAA-best 23 passes and created 34 turnovers, including six against UCLA in the Rose Bowl. A 1975 graduate of Iowa, McCarney coached the Hawkeyes in eight consecutive bowl games, including the 1982 and 1986 Rose Bowls.The three-year letterman on the offensive line for Iowa (1972-74) was captain of the 1974 Hawkeye squad. McCarney and his wife, Margy, have two daughters, Jillian and Melanie, and a son, Shane.

Rich Rachel Cornerbacks

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 remained for four seasons before returning to the secondary, where his focus now is on the cornerbacks. Regardless of his role, Rachel has been successful in helping gel his unit into USF’s successful defense. As the cornerbacks coach, Rachel is instrumental in developing returning starters Mike Jenkins and Trae Williams, among the finest corner tandems in the nation. In his four seasons with the ends, Rachel helped develop outstanding talent that led to 141 sacks over a 44-game stretch. In those 44 games, 66.5 of the 141 sacks came from the defensive ends. Among his pupils at defensive end,Terrence Royal went on to set USF’s career sack record (since broken by Stephen Nicholas) and tie the single season mark after he had three sacks in the 2005 Meineke Car Care Bowl. Working well with defensive coordinator Wally Burnham, Rachel stresses a complete defensive game from his players, demanding a strong skill set for defending the run and pass. Before taking over the ends in 2001, Rachel held together a USF secondary that saw a position switch for Anthony Henry (Dallas Cowboys/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 (1986-88) and a defensive coordinator at Rutgers (1990-95), North Dakota (1989) North Carolina State (1983-85) and Morehead State (1978), 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.

T H E C O A C H E S

February 1996, Larry Scott returned to USF in 2005 as the director of high school operations, and after spending 2006 as a graduate assistant, he now takes over the full-time role as tight ends coach. Since his return in 2005, Scott’s work ethic and his dedication to USF has left a large impression on head coach Jim Leavitt, who has the utmost confidence in Scott’s coaching abilities. In addition to working with the tight ends, Scott will work well in unison with first-year offensive line coach Mike Simmonds. Upon graduating from USF in August 2000 with a degree in communications, Scott was employed in the public sector and in high school coaching. He first joined the work force in December 2000 as a Child Protective Investigator for the State of Florida. He remained in that position until September 2002, when he joined the Tampa Housing Authority and coordinated a self-sufficiency program. Scott first started coaching at Wharton High in Tampa, where he was the offensive line coach and run game coordinator from May 2001 to August 2001. He moved to nearby Freedom High as offensive coordinator and line coach in August 2001, where he spent three seasons. During the 2004-05 school year, Scott returned to Sebring High – his alma mater - where he was an exceptional education teacher and the cooffensive coordinator Scott was a three-year letterman (1997-99) as an offensive tackle for the Bulls. He and his wife, Shakeira, have two sons, Larry III (12) and Jalen (2).

Although 2006 marked Mike Simmonds first season on a college football staff, his coaching experience was already immense and his capabilities were quickly evident, leading to his rapid elevation to full-time status. After just one season as a graduate assistant, Simmonds assumes command of the offensive line in 2006. A former NFL offensive lineman and a 14-year veteran of high school coaching with three state finals appearances, Simmonds brings loads of knowledge to the USF staff.

In 2002, Simmonds was honored as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers High School Coach of the Year, and in his eight seasons at Jefferson, the Dragons had 74 players sign college scholarships. Simmonds also played a role in a third state finals appearance as an assistant coach at Hillsborough High, where he was on the staff for six seasons.Those six teams compiled a 54-14 record and the Terriers reached the state championship game in 1996. A graduate of Indiana State University, where he started 46 games and earned I-AA All-America honors, Simmonds was chosen in the 10th round of the 1987 NFL Draft by The Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He started for the Bucs at offensive guard in 1989, once earning NFL Offensive Lineman of the Week in a game against Chicago. He signed as a Plan B Free Agent with San Diego in 1990 and when he retired, Simmonds had been credited with four NFL seasons. Simmonds played his high school football for Belleville (IL) before enrolling at Indiana State, where his teams reached the I-AA Playoffs in 1983 and 1984. Since his playing days ended, Simmonds has been named to the Gateway Conference all-decade team (1980s) and the Gateway Conference 20th Anniversary Team, in addition to earning induction into the Indiana State Hall of Fame. Simmonds and his wife, Jacqueline (Whiting) have three daughters, Amanda (17), Lauren (13) and Emily (9).

Notes UConn looks to rebound from a tough 2006 campaign that saw them turn in a 4-8 record and a 1-6 slate in the BIG EAST Conference … The Huskies started last year with a 2-1 record – with its only loss coming to Atlantic Coast Conference champion Wake Forest (24-13) – before turning in a 2-7 record through their last nine games … UConn has gone through two consecutive sub-.500 seasons since defeating Toledo, 39-10, in the 2004 Motor City Bowl … USF got back on the winning track last year against the Huskies with a 38-16 win at Raymond James Stadium … D.J. Hernandez not returning as starting QB, in fact he has been moved to WR … Hernandez completed 86-of-147 passes last year for 849 yards and nine touchdowns … In addition tailback Donald Brown – the only freshman to be named All-BIG EAST in 2006 – returns after rushing for 896 yards on 161 carries and seven TD’s … He also averaged 134.6 yards per game last year in five BIG EAST Conference starts … Defensively linebacker Danny Lansanah returns after leading the Huskies in tackles in 2006 logging 99 stops, including 45 solo, and 9.5 sacks which was good enough for second on the team … Lansanah has paced the team in tackles the past two seasons.

Grothe connected with Marcus Edwards on a post play down the middle of the field.The completion was good for 47 yards finished off a 5-play, 87-yard drive which lasted 2:10. A botched punt by McNeese State at the start of the fourth quarter gave USF excellent field position at the Cowboy 12-yard line. Two plays later Grothe connected with Ean Randolph for a 10-yard touchdown pass to extend USF's lead to 21-10. Randolph, who recorded his first-career reception during the first quarter (six yards), finished the night with three catches for 24 yards and a touchdown. Smith added a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter, to give USF a 25-point cushion, his first on a 3-yard run with 9:47 left in the game, made the score 28-10.

Fourteen second-half points by sophomore Taurus Johnson led USF (2-0) to its second-straight comeback victory with a 21-20 win over Florida International (0-2) at Raymond James Stadium. Recording his first-career rushing and receiving touchdowns in the game, Johnson, accounted for 120 total yards for the Bulls, while registering six catches for 106 yards and one touchdown. He also scored on a 14-yard end-around late in the third quarter for his firstcollegiate touchdown. Making his first-collegiate start, Matt Grothe threw for 174 yards on 15-of-28 passing with one touchdown and two interceptions. His lone touchdown was the game-winning, 29-yard completion to Johnson late in the fourth quarter. Ean Randolph produced 123 yards on two punt returns, including a 76-yard return for the Bulls' first score of the game. Randolph nearly had two more on the evening, however, costly USF penalties negated the wide receiver's attempts. An 82-yard punt return by FIU's Chandler Williams with 10:52 left in the first quarter gave FIU an early 6-0 lead, following the missed extra point by Chris Patullo. Not to be outdone, USF responded with a punt return for a touchdown of its own. Randolph took a Chris Cook punt 76 yards to tie the game at 6-6 at the beginning of the second quarter (14:38). Mike Benzer converted the extra point to give USF a 7-6 lead. FIU regained the lead with 9:12 left in the second quarter when defensive back Robert Mitchell intercepted a Grothe pass and returned it for a touchdown (14 yards). A successful point after attempt gave the Golden Panthers a 13-7 lead. Trailing by six late in the game, USF's defense forced FIU's second turnover of the game as Ben Moffitt stripped FIU running back Julian Reams.The ball was recovered by left end Richard Clebert at the Golden Panther 29-yard line. On the ensuing drive, Grothe completed a 29-yard touchdown pass to Johnson with 2:33 left in the game.The touchdown was the second of the game for Johnson.With the extra point, USF took its first lead of the game 21-20. FIU had one more chance to drive down the field, however USF's defense held the Golden Panthers, capped off by a tipped pass by linebacker Patrick St. Louis on fourth down with 1:50 on the clock.With the ball back in the offense's hands, USF ran out the clock to

Matt Grothe threw for 302 yards and ran for another 73, and defensive end Chris Robinson sacked UCF quarterback Steven Moffet on a fourth and six from the USF 10 with just 22 seconds remaining to finish a 24-17 Bulls win at the Florida Citrus Bowl. Grothe's 302 passing yards established a new USF freshman record, eclipsing Marquel Blackwell's 239-yard game against New Haven in 1999. Grothe threw his third touchdown of the afternoon on a 27-yard third down play to Ean Randolph with just over three minutes to play to break a 17-17 tie.The catch was Randolph's fifth of the afternoon. UCF responded to the Bulls go-ahead score with a 17-play drive that went 65 yards before Robinson's fourth down sack that also caused a fumble.The UCF drive gained momentum on a fourth and 10 conversion, soon followed by a USF pass interference call. But with a first and 10 at the USF 14, Moffett threw two incompletions before a four-yard pass play that set up the fourth and six. After a UCF timeout, the Bulls covered the end zone well, allowing pressure on Moffet and the eventual sack and fumble. USF seemingly gained control four minutes into the fourth quarter when Grothe led a five-play 48-yard drive that was helped along by a double reverse pass from receiver Amarri Jackson to Amp Hill that covered 31 yards and placed the Bulls on the two-yard line, setting up the two-yard touchdown pass from Grothe to Benjamin Williams. That made the score 17-10 in favor of the Bulls with 11:05 left and the Bulls stopped UCF on its next possession to regain the ball at their own 39-yard line with 10:00 remaining, however USF would eventually be forced to punt. Trying to recover from a bad snap, USF punter Delbert Alvarado made an attempt to rugby kick the ball, but it was blocked and returned 31 yards for a touchdown by Blake Carter to tie the game again at 17-17. Grothe remained poised and led the Bulls on their winning drive that covered 90 yards after USF was penalized on the kickoff. Grothe set the stage with a 26-yard run of his own on the drive's second play.Two plays later, he ran for 13 more yards en route to what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown pass to Randolph.

USF appeared ready to pull off a fourth straight come-from-behind win, but the Bulls fell 29 yards short in a 13-7 loss to Kansas.The loss was the first of the season for the Bulls, who won with second half comebacks against McNeese State, FIU and UCF to open the season. USF quarterback Matt Grothe moved the Bulls 34 yards on a 20-yard pass to Taurus Johnson and a 14-yard run on third and 10 in the final drive that started with no timeouts and just 1:06 remaining.That placed the Bulls at the Kansas 29-yard line with a first and 10 and time for three passes.The first two fell incomplete, including an open sideline route to Ean Randolph, before Grothe’s final effort into the end zone for Colby Erskin was intercepted by Justin Thornton. Grothe, who entered the game leading all freshmen quarterbacks in the nation in passing yards and total offense, completed 17 of 32 passes for 196 yards and ran for another 66 on 18 carries that included a touchdown. Kansas QB Adam Barmann led the Jayhawks admirably, completing 25 of his 35 attempts for 273 yards. Kansas took a 3-0 lead just under six minutes into the second half when Scott Webb connected on a 37-yard field goal, culminating a 12play, 60-yard drive that opened the second half. But that seemingly awoke the Bulls as Taurus Johnson returned the ensuing kick to the USF 42 yard line. In 13 plays, Grothe engineered a 58-yard drive that included three crucial third down conversions, including two receptions by Marcus Edwards and one by tight end Will Bleakley that covered 11 yards on a third and 11. Grothe capped the drive with a six-yard touchdown run, his second rushing touchdown of the season. After Mike Benzer’s extra point, USF led 7-3 with 2:57 to play in the third quarter. Kansas responded immediately with a touchdown drive that covered 79 yards on just seven plays, aided along by a 15-yard personal foul against the Bulls on the kickoff and a 29-yard pass from Barmann to Brian Murph on a third and six.The Jayhawks regained the lead at 10-7 on a twoyard option run by Cornish on a third and goal that marked the first play of the fourth quarter. After an offensive pass interference call stymied the Bulls on their next possession, Kansas again began a march from their own 33, but the USF defense stiffened and held the Jayhawks to a 42-yard Webb field goal that made the score 13-7 with 8:51 remaining. Both defenses then went to work as the offenses traded two series each that ended in punts before the Bulls got their final opportunity on the final drive of the game that eventually ended with the interception in the end zone.

A failed two-point conversion with 15 seconds left in the game proved to be the difference as USF fell to No. 23/23 Rutgers, 22-20. Matt Grothe, who accounted for 316 of USF’s 347 yards (throwing for 241 yards and a touchdown, rushing for 61 yards and two touchdowns and caught a 14-yard pass), came up a two-point conversion short of registering his fourth comeback of the season.The firstyear quarterback completed a 16-yard touchdown pass to Ean Randolph with time winding down for the potential tying touchdown.To draw the game even at 22-all, Grothe attempted a pass to Amp Hill at the near pylon. Unfortunately, the pass was incomplete. Grothe’s 61 yards on the ground led all USF rushers. Grothe threw for 241 yards on 16-of-25 passing with one touchdown and two interceptions. Randolph registered a team-high six catches for 49 yards and a touchdown.Amarri Jackson tallied a team-high 83 yards on three receptions. Scoring 14 points in a span of 3:45 seconds, USF went into halftime with a 14-10 advantage, marking just the second time all-season that Rutgers had trailed. Rutgers cut USF’s lead to 14-13 with 8:30 left in the third quarter. Jeremy Ito’s second field goal of the night (40 yards) capped off an eight-play, 39-yard drive, which lasted 3:42. Ray Rice added his second touchdown of the night with a seven-yard run into the end zone as the Scarlet Knights regained the lead with 13:04 left in the contest. Rutgers went for the two-point conversion, however the Bulls stopped the attempt, making the score 1914.The drive, which lasted 3:57, was 31 yards on seven plays. Rice rushed for 23 yards on five carries during the drive. The Scarlet Knights extended their lead to eight points with a 53-yard field goal by Ito with 7:09 left in the game.The field goal was Ito’s career long and closed out an eight-yard drive which ate up 4:29. USF drove 55 yard to the Rutgers’ 25-yard line before Brandon Renkart forced the fumble of Grothe, stopping the Bulls’ drive with 5:26 left in the game. After getting the ball to the USF 25-yard line, the Scarlet Knights attempted a 42-yard field goal by Ito. Stephen Nicholas broke through the Rutgers offensive line, blocking the attempt to give USF the ball at its own 34-yard line with 2:32 left in the game. Sparked by the blocked field goal, USF drove 66 yards to score the team’s third touchdown of the night. A 16-yard completion to Randolph pulled the Bulls within two points of the Scarlet Knights with 15 seconds left in the game. USF attempted to tie the game with a two-point conversion, however a dropped pass gave Rutgers a 22-20 win.

USF's offense had its most balanced effort of the season in putting up 417 yards, and the defense tallied a season-best five sacks and allowed just two scoring drives that covered more than 24 yards to propel the Bulls to a 37-20 win over North Carolina. USF running back Ricky Ponton came off a six-game suspension and ran for 101 yards on 17 carries, including two touchdowns. Matt Grothe was 14-of-21 for 158 yards and a touchdown.The touchdown pass was his ninth of the season through seven games, eclipsing USF's total in 2005. Meanwhile, five different USF players had a sack, while the defense limited North Carolina to 285 total yards and intercepted quarterback Cam Sexton twice, while limiting the freshman to nine of 26 passing for just 117 yards. On its first drive of the second quarter, the Bulls put together a five-play, 35-yard touchdown drive that was set up by Stephen Nicholas, who picked up his first career interception. Grothe ran twice for a total of nine yards, and after he had to take a breather following a solid hit to the back, Pat Julmiste came in and ran for nine yards on his first play. After a false start penalty on USF and a two-yard Ponton run, Grothe returned with the ball at the UNC 21, and he found S.J. Green in the end zone for a 21-yard score that put the Bulls ahead 14-7. Just two plays later, the USF offense was back on the field after Danny Verpaele picked off a Sexton pass and returned it to the UNC 21, where it took the Bulls just five plays to push the ball across the end zone again, this time on a one-yard Ponton run. Benzer missed the PAT, but the Bulls still had a 20-7 lead with 9:10 remaining in the half. The Bulls quickly grabbed the momentum in the second half, starting shop at their own 29-yard line after a 27-yard kick return from Taurus Johnson. In just eight plays, Grothe piloted the team 71 yards, culminating the drive with a one-yard run from Benjamin Williams after Jackson threw his 25-yard end around pass to Hill at the one-yard line. Just like that the Bulls were ahead 27-10.

Despite solid defensive work, USF fell 23-6 to Cincinnati with a safety, fumble return for a touchdown, a failed fake punt and a key interception proving too much to overcome. USF managed just 219 total yards on offense with quarterback Matt Grothe limited to a season-low 47 passing yards After a first quarter safety set up by a Cincinnati punt that pinned the Bulls on their own two-yard line, neither team scored through the remainder of the first half and USF trailed by the 2-0 margin. At the outset of the second half, USF came out with the look of a team ready to pick up the pace.The defense forced a Cincinnati punt after a three and out on the opening series of the second half, and USF assumed control on its own 48-yard line after the punt. Grothe went to work, mixing runs by himself and running backs Ben Williams and Ricky Ponton with two pass completions to Williams and Taurus Johnson. After six plays that included a successful fourth-and-one run by Ponton, the Bulls had a first-and-10 at the Cincinnati 12-yard line. But after a Grothe run gained no ground, the freshman was intercepted at the eight-yard line by Dominic Ross, ending the drive just eight-yards shy of a 7-2 USF lead. Still, the USF defense remained stingy on Cincinnati’s next possession, forcing a long field goal attempt that fell short.The Bulls took over with 2:41 remaining in the third quarter and still trailed by the 2-0 margin. A 15-yard personal foul penalty on Cincinnati would move the Bulls to their 43-yard line, but two plays later, Johnson took possession of a Grothe pass, but fumbled after a hard hit, and Kevin McCullough returned it 39 yards for a touchdown and a 9-0 Cincinnati lead with 1:02 left in the third quarter. Cincinnati had a commanding 16-0 lead when Greg Moore went over the right side for a one-yard score with 12:52 remaining in the game. The game kicked off with a temperature of 45 degrees, the second coldest game in USF history.The Bulls played at Connecticut in 2005 in a game that started with a 33 degree reading. USF falls to 2-2 in games played below 50 degrees.

Holding the nation's 29th-ranked offense to 214 yards, the USF football team downed the Pittsburgh Panthers, 22-12, at Raymond James Stadium. Matt Grothe completed 19-of-25 passes for 180 yards and one touchdown versus the Panthers. Grothe connected with eight different receivers, including Amarri Jackson for 46 yards. Grothe also ran for 59 yards on 12 carries, including one rushing touchdown. Pat Julmiste replaced Grothe in the fourth quarter (injury) and tallied 49 yards on the ground, while completing his only pass attempt of the afternoon. Ean Randolph led all USF receivers with six catches for 46 yards. Jackson grabbed three catches, gaining a team-high 47 yards. The Bulls totaled 210 yards rushing during the game, while logging 10 more minutes of possession than the Panthers. Grothe and Julmiste combined for 108 yards on the ground on 22 carries. Ricky Ponton gained 44 yards on the ground on 15 carries.Two key rushes were registered by punter Justin Teachey, who rattled off 25 yards on two fake punts. USF's defense held one of the nation's top quarterbacks (Tyler Palko) to 11-of-23 passing for 159 yards. The Bulls forced Palko to throw a season-high three interceptions on the day. Entering the contest, the conference's leader in pass efficiency had only thrown three picks on the year. A 22-yard reverse by Taurus Johnson with 10:12 left in the first quarter gave USF a 7-0 lead.The trick play capped an 11-play, 64yard opening drive which chewed up 4:48 on the clock. Grothe completed his 10th touchdown pass of the season with a 46-yard completion to Amarri Jackson with 3:58 left in the third quarter.The touchdown reception was the second of the season for Jackson and marked the fourth time this season Grothe had thrown for and ran for a touchdown in the same game. Following the missed extra point, USF's lead became 20-6. The Bulls added two more points with a safety in the fourth quarter. From his own end zone, Palko was called for intentional grounding as Richard Clebert applied pressure with 10:55 left in the game. The safety was the first of the season and marked the first safety recorded by USF since Nov. 16, 2002 (vs. Bowling Green).

After missing a 30-yard attempt on his previous try,Alvarado kicked a 56-yard field goal as time expired to give USF a 13-3 lead heading into halftime.The 56-yard field goal became the longest of Alvarado’s career, eclipsing his previous long of 47 (set earlier in the quarter). It also marked the second-longest field goal in USF history (63 yards by Bill Gramatica on Nov. 18, 2000). The field goal set the BIG EAST record for the longest field goal in conference history. It was also the third-longest field goal in the nation this season. The Bulls’ lead increased to 20-3 following a 79-yard touchdown pass from Grothe to Taurus Johnson with 1:18 left in the third quarter.The completion was the longest of Grothe’s career and gave the freshman the second 300-yard game of his career.

After USF and Louisville’s defenses did their best to not allow any first downs through most of the first quarter at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium, the homestanding Cardinals eventually put together a balanced offense with a high pressure defense in a 31-8 win over the Bulls. Louisville’s (9-1, 4-1) defense sacked USF (7-3, 4-3) freshman quarterback Matt Grothe seven times and Cardinals quarterback Brian Brohm threw for 274 yards and two touchdowns, while the Cardinals also had 172 rushing yards in the game. Grothe persevered to throw for 237 yards and a 44-yard touchdown to Amp Hill, but he was held to negative rushing yards for the first time all season, largely due to the seven sacks. Neither team could even convert a first down in its first three possessions of the game before Louisville threatened on its fourth drive. After marching 40 yards to the USF 28, quarterback Brian Brohm hit Kolby Smith on a slant to the Bulls one-yard line, but a George Selvie hit caused a fumble that was recovered by Mike Jenkins. Louisville would strike first, marching 80 yards in 10 plays, including 45 on the ground. But it was a four-yard crossing pattern to Harry Douglas that put the Cardinals on the board as they took a 7-0 lead just over four minutes into the second quarter. While USF’s offense could not sustain anything for the remainder of the second quarter, the Bulls defense did an admirable job holding Louisville to just three more points in the first half, and USF trailed just 10-0 at intermission. But with the defensive pressure on Grothe continuing throughout the second half and the Cardinal offense finding its groove, the Cardinals jumped to a 24-0 lead after three quarters. USF did avoid the shutout on a quick-hit five play drive midway through the fourth quarter when Grothe was four of five for 73 yards on the drive. After the 44-yard strike to Hill, Grothe capped the score with a pass to tight end Ben Busbee for the two-point conversion. Now trailing 23-8 with just under six minutes, USF was forced to attempt an onside kick. Louisville recovered and marched in for its final score a seven-yard run from Anthony Allen.

Second Quarter WVU - McAfee 30-yard field goal. Time left: 14:56. Drive: 12-645:08. (WVU 3, USF 0).

Scratch unstoppable from the ways to describe Steve Slaton, Pat White and West Virginia's running game. USF saw to that. The Bulls' defense scored on a fumble return and held the nation's second-best rushing and scoring offense to less than half of its averages in a 24-19 win over the No. 7 Mountaineers. Matt Grothe ran for a touchdown and passed for another as USF handed West Virginia its first home loss in nine games. Slaton, the nation's No. 2 rusher, had his worst game as a starter. He saw his streak of six straight 100-yard games snapped, finishing with a season-low 43 yards, 115 below his average.The Mountaineers didn't score their first touchdown until midway through the third quarter and were limited to 132 yards rushing. Grothe, the redshirt freshman, finished 21-of-29 for 270 yards and helped keep the Mountaineers' offense off the field. He took the Bulls 70 yards, finding Ean Randolph with a 21-yard TD pass late in the third. He later converted a pair of third-down passes to keep alive a 14-play drive that resulted in an 18-yard field goal by Delbert Alvarado midway through the fourth and a 24-12 lead. White found Myles with a 44-yard scoring pass with 5:16 left to cut the deficit to 24-19. USF failed to get a first down on its next drive and West Virginia got the ball back at its 15. But a pass went off Myles' hands and Trae Williams intercepted the tipped ball for the Bulls with 1:54 left.White finished 14-of-22 for 178 yards and ran for just 17 yards on 15 carries. West Virginia was held scoreless in the first quarter for just the second time all season. USF's first four drives ended with two interceptions and two sacks but the Bulls got some defensive help to take the lead. White was hit by Chris Robinson on a pass attempt and fumbled deep in West Virginia territory.The Bulls’ George Selvie scooped up the ball at the 9 and scored the Bulls' first defensive touchdown of the season for a 7-6 lead midway through the second quarter. Grothe's 10-yard keeper for a touchdown just before halftime put the Bulls ahead 14-6. It marked the first time in 17 games that West Virginia was held without a first-half touchdown.

In only its 10th year of existence, the USF football team won its first-ever bowl game in only its second try, defeating East Carolina, 24-7, at the PapaJohns.com Bowl at Legion Field. USF’s nine wins tied the school record set in 2002. The Bulls' offense clicked from the start, scoring all 24 points in the first half. USF recorded 286 total yards – 156 rushing and 130 passing. The Bulls scored all three times they were in the red zone and converted all five fourth downs. Benjamin Williams was named the Most Valuable Player, leading the team with 67 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Matt Grothe, who threw for 81 yards and a touchdown, was injured on a quarterback keeper at the 8:08 mark in the second quarter. He played the rest of the half in all but two downs, but did not start the second half. Pat Julmiste came into the game and played the rest of the way, passing for 49 yards while rushing for 53. USF’s defense was stingy from the start and it continued throughout the entire game.The Bulls only allowed 54 total rushing yards and held the Pirates to -6 yards in the first half. Putting pressure on the quarterback the entire game, USF tallied six sacks for a loss of 51 yards and 10 of the Bulls tackles were for losses. On the second play of the opening drive, a botched handoff by ECU's quarterback James Pinkney resulted in a Ben Moffitt fumble recovery for USF on the ECU 16 yard-line. USF capitalized on the turnover on its first play, as Grothe handed the ball off to Williams, who ran for 16 yards for the touchdown at the 13:53 mark. After the USF defense forced an East Carolina punt on the ensuing possession, the Bulls added another seven points for a 14-0 lead on a nine-play, 56-yard drive. After USF drove down the field and was stopped at the one-yard line on third down,Williams scored his second touchdown of the day on fourth down. In the opening minutes of the second quarter, the Bulls regained a 14-point lead as Grothe threw for his first touchdown of the day – a 37-yard pass to Amarri Jackson – to put the score at 21-7. USF converted its second 4th-and-1 play of the day to keep the drive alive. USF added three more points to its lead as Delbert Alvarado made a 38-yard field goal. On a 4th-and-2, Grothe connected with Cedric Hill on a 19-yard pass for the first down, setting up the field goal.

TH E U N IVE RS IT Y

DISCOVER USF The University of South Florida is among America’s largest and most dynamic research universities. Founded in 1956, USF opened its doors with an enrollment of nearly 2,000. Today, the University serves more than 44,000 students at four campuses located in Tampa, St. Petersburg, SarasotaManatee and Lakeland. The ninth largest university in the nation and a member of the BIG EAST Athletic Conference, USF has achieved distinction in all areas of academics, sports, research and funding. The University offers 217 degree programs at the undergraduate, graduate, specialty and doctoral levels, including the doctor of medicine.

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

USF’s student body is as diverse as its academic program profile. More than 30 percent of the University’s students are African American, Black, Asian American, Hispanic or Native American, and USF is home to scholars from every state in the U.S. and more than 125 countries across the globe. Almost 60 percent of students are women. USF students are taught by highly regarded faculty who came to USF from many of the world’s leading universities and research institutions.

Top Research University The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has placed USF in its highest classification level, which is “Research University with Very High Research Activity.” Of the 4,321 colleges and universities classified, USF is one of only 63 public universities in the highest tier. Inclusion at this level affirms USF’s position among the top research universities in the nation. USF was awarded more than $310 million in research contracts and grants in 2006. USF is one of 76 universities in the nation designated by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as being most engaged with their communities and one of only ten public research universities across the country designated as “very high research” and “community-engaged.” USF is the only Florida university – public or private – to receive this classification. At the center of the Tampa Bay region’s medical, biotechnology and bioscience research, USF has become a major player in the highly competitive research arena. USF’s internationally renowned researchers are making radical breakthrough in marine science, medicine, engi-

104

neering and social research.Work in counterterrorism and biological defense, optical sensors, immunology, Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and other neurological disorders, aging studies, laser technology and alternative fuels has gained national and international recognition. The University is a leader in establishing public/private partnerships for the mutual exchange of resources and talent for research and development. As one of the major anchors in the creation and development of the 21county Florida High Technology Corridor that runs from the Atlantic coast to the Gulf of Mexico along Interstate 4, USF attracts hundreds of high-tech businesses and creates thousands of jobs in the heart of central Florida. The Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s master-planned Research and Development Park, on the Tampa campus, links USF facilities to high-tech research firms, devoting 1.2 million square feet of space to offices, research and development activities. A hotel on the property has 1,400 square feet of conference and meeting facilities, opening new opportunities for conferences and collaborative activities.

Economic Impact The impact of the University on the Tampa Bay Region is intellectual, cultural and economic. In January 2006, USF

released the findings of an economic impact study.The results reported that USF makes a $3.2 billion annual economic impact on the regional economy of Tampa Bay through direct and indirect spending of payroll, student tuition, student expenses, construction and research.

Top-Notch Facilities USF boasts modern science and engineering labs, a communications building with a full range of broadcast facilities, on-campus public television and radio stations, foreign language listening labs, fine art studios and display spaces, photo darkrooms, education teaching labs, and even an oncampus elementary school. Hundreds of computers are available seven days a week in 12 labs conveniently located on all four campuses with free Internet access.

TAMPA BAY City won’t disappoint you. And if you’ve never thought about Tampa Bay as a place where the arts flourish, think again. Our museums draw acclaim from visitors and critics alike. We enjoy a renowned symphony orchestra, an exciting theater scene and cultural performances in state of the art venues. Those venues - including the University of South Florida’s own Sun Dome - also play host to most every national touring musical act. Weekends are never dull here. In addition to cultural events, the area offers theme parks such as Busch Gardens and Adventure Island, professional sports, boating, year-round golf and a destination where families can escape to marvel at Florida’s natural majesty. Yes, the sun does shine on us an average of 240 days a year, but that’s only part of the picture. Just take a more in depth look at the many items that make Tampa Bay an ideal place to call home.

It serves as a vacation getaway to 18 million people a year, but to us it’s home. And what a great place it is. We revel in the kiss of the sun, the caress of the breeze and the sparkle of the turquoise water all around us. Sometimes at the end of a long winter weekend, we call our friends, who are buried under a blanket of snow, and tell them how we spent our day. Playing golf in short sleeves. Enjoying our boat. Hosting a picnic in the park. At times the temptation to rub it in wears down even the best of us. However, the Tampa Bay area offers much more than just nice weather. Over two million residents would agree it’s a great place to work, to recreate, to grow a business, to raise a family and to live. Ideally located on the coast of Florida’s beautiful Gulf of Mexico, the Tampa Bay region provides easy access to Gulf beaches and surrounding cities. The area’s central location also provides access to other Florida treasures, perfect for day trips including Orlando, Daytona and Miami. The Bay Area is a vibrant multi-cultural community. It’s such a hotbed of diversity that the U.S. Census Bureau named the area one of the five most diverse, integrated urban areas in the country. This diverse mix of homes and cultures add to the area’s high quality of life. Newcomers will find stately charm among the older neighborhoods of Hyde Park or innovative planning and amenities in the northern communities of Carrolwood and New Tampa. East of the county, the country flavor of Plant City; to the west and south, the beauty of the Pinellas County and Sarasota/Bradenton beaches. Just east of downtown Tampa,Ybor City, one of only three Florida National Historic Districts, mixes the past with the present. The area, which was famous for its flourishing cigar industry during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is now famous for its rich culture and exciting nightlife. Centro Ybor, a former cigar factory itself, is now a popular spot for shopping and dining. Ybor City also offers art studios and SpanishCuban ethnic restaurants with a true taste of the local cuisine. But the fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. At night,Ybor City comes alive with nightclubs showcasing the blues, jazz and rock. For those who enjoy somewhat quieter nights, Centro Ybor, at the heart of the city, offers a more family type atmosphere with shops, restaurants and a movie theater. No matter how you like to spend your evenings,Ybor

mate and first-rate facilities allow its residents and visitors to enjoy any number of sporting activities virtually year-round. Spoiled by an annual average of 240 days of sunshine and a mean temperature that even in January hovers around 60 degrees,Tampa residents pursue recreation and fitness opportunities with great enthusiasm. They go fishing, play tennis, jog, rollerblade, ride bicycles…. the list is endless. There are countless ways to get exercise, but shoveling snow isn’t one of them. The Tampa Bay area offers beautiful parks and recreation facilities that allow visitors and residents to enjoy any outdoor activity they choose from a scenic canoe ride down the charming Hillsborough River to a family football or softball game at any one of the area’s neighborhood parks. For those who just like to sit back and watch the excitement, the historic Tampa Bay Downs is a perfect place to spend the day. Visitors can enjoy a day of thoroughbred racing and try their luck by wagering on their favorite horses. And residents can always watch the pros. Whether it’s the 2003 Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the 2004 Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning or the Tampa Bay Devil Rays of Major League Baseball,Tampa Bay fans can enjoy professional sports year-round. Other pro teams include the five-time Arena Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Storm and an abundance of Major League Baseball teams in Spring Training, including the New York Yankees, just a long home run away from Raymond James Stadium. The facilities for these franchises are as first class as the many fans that attend the various events. So much so,Tampa Bay is among only a handful of cities nationally to attract a Super Bowl, Final Four and NHL All-Star-Game. Tampa Bay hosted its third Super Bowl in 2001 and will host its fourth in 2009 at Raymond James Stadium. The University of South Florida is serving as the host institution for the 2008 NCAA Men’s Basketball First and Second Rounds, the 2008 NCAA Women’s Basketball Final Four and the 2009 NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship. The Tampa Bay Lightning’s home - the St. Pete Times Forum – welcomed the ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament in 2007 and will host the 2009 SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament and the 2012 NCAA Frozen Four.

Tourism Welcoming visitors has always been a mainstay of Tampa business. Annually, more than 18 million people come to Tampa/Hillsborough County to take vacations or attend conventions. Keeping this in mind, the hospitality community devotes much effort to continuously offering new things to see and do. Tampa’s newest addition came in 2004 with the opening of the Ford Amphitheater, where visitors can experience some of the nation’s hottest touring performers and concerts.

Attractions & Events With so many people visiting the Bay Area each year, you better believe there are plenty of things to see and do. Newcomers, as well as long time residents, sometimes find it difficult to keep up with the ever-growing list of sights and attractions. The Tampa Bay area is packed with excitement, offering visitors educational, entertaining and cultural attractions. Some attractions - like Busch Gardens and the Florida Aquarium - are consistently expanding to give people even more reasons to keep coming back. Thrill seekers will enjoy the newest addition at Busch Gardens SheiKra - America’s only dive coaster and one of only three such coasters in the world. SheiKra is 200 feet up, 90 degrees straight down and already a legend. Others, such as the Florida Aquarium, the Museum of Science and Industry and Lowry Park Zoo, have recently completed expansion projects worth millions of dollars. As it is already, the number of places to go and things to do is nearly overwhelming. The list is only partially complete with Busch Gardens, Adventure Island,The Florida Aquarium, Lowry Park Zoo, Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI),Yacht StarShip

dining cruises, an abundance of beaches, the Henry B. Plant Museum, the Tampa Museum of Art,Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center and Ybor City.

Arts & Culture The arts are a vital component of the Tampa Bay community. Newcomers quickly realize that in this region the arts thrive. From its theater groups, orchestras, world-class performance halls, museums, galleries and much more,Tampa Bay’s cultural horizons are diverse and stimulating. Venues such as the Tampa Bay History Museum,Ybor City State Museum, MOSI, and the Florida International Museum and Salvador Dali Museum in nearby St. Petersburg are attracting praise from critics around the country. Downtown Tampa offers a variety of commercial art galleries that showcase museum quality exhibitions ranging from cutting edge contemporary art to decorative sculptural and glass works. The Tampa Theatre, with its unique baroque style architecture and brand new marquee, shows a variety of independent and foreign films, as well as classic film shows. If great music is what you want, then Coachman Park in nearby Clearwater is where you’ll want to be. The park plays host to numerous musical venues year-round. From country to rock, R&B, reggae and the annual Jazz Fest, Coachman Park has something for everyone. Catch a Broadway play, listen as contemporary poets compete for applause or browse among the displays of one of Tampa Bay’s many sidewalk art festivals. All this and so much more adds up to an electric combination, making Tampa Bay one of the most happening spots in the nation. Whether you enjoy quiet days and invigorating nights - or vice versa - Tampa Bay’s got just what you’re looking for.

DOUG WOOLARD DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

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

110

In just three years at the University of South Florida, Doug Woolard has inspired and led a number of initiatives that have allowed the Bulls’ program to make a successful transition into the prestigious BIG EAST Conference. Although USF had already accepted a bid to join the BIG EAST when Woolard assumed command in May 2004, his tireless work to set a strong foundation at the outset has not gone unnoticed. The BIG EAST places the Bulls in an elite neighborhood of programs, but Woolard set a goal upon his hiring to make USF the best program in the conference.To do that, he has stressed the importance of a strong partnership between staff, student-athletes and community. Since May 2004,Woolard has led a successful effort to earmark a new “athletics footprint” on campus that will allow the program to initiate efforts to build new facilities in a core area on campus.As fundraising allows,Woolard will lead the staff in improving facilities for baseball, basketball, softball, soccer and tennis. Already, USF has added nearly $2 million in video scoreboards to the Sun Dome, USF’s basketball arena, and Woolard has a progressive plan to re-fit the entire seating configuration in the arena. Woolard has also been proactive in retaining successful coaches, having negotiated new contracts with Jim Leavitt (football), Ken Eriksen (softball) and Jose Fernandez (women’s basketball). Leavitt remains the only football coach USF has ever had and he led the program to a bowl game in 2005, only the ninth season of competition, and to a bowl championship in its 10th season in 2006. Eriksen has annually led his softball program into postseason competition and was an assistant coach for the 2004 USA Olympic Team. Fernandez has led the women’s basketball program to postseason play in each of the past four years the only such appearances in the program’s history. Always looking to keep USF in the forefront of athletics nationally,Woolard has taken an aggressive approach in hiring searches that have led to the addition of Stan Heath (men’s basketball), Lelo Prado (baseball) and Denise Schilte-Brown (women’s soccer), three coaches that have led their previous programs to NCAA Tournaments. Expanded television and radio coverage for USF programs has also been a key initiative for Woolard. In 2005, he helped complete an agreement that allows for the most electronic media exposure in school history. In addition to USF’s football and men’s basketball programs upgrading to more powerful stations, every USF women’s basketball game is now being aired on the radio for the first time ever. Opportunities will also exist for USF’s baseball and softball programs, in addition to volleyball.There is also

Jon Gust Director of Communications

The 2006 BIG EAST Conference football season was one of the year’s best stories. Each week seemed to bring with it memorable matchups and record-breaking feats. But it was the brilliant ending – a perfect 5-0 record in bowl games – that put the finishing touches on this BIG EAST best seller. The league ended the 2006 regular season with a winning percentage of .800 in non-conference games (32-8 record) – the highest in the 16-year history of the conference. This mark included an 11-7 record against BCS Conference opponents. In addition, the final combined overall winning percentage of all BIG EAST football teams in ‘06 (.644) was the best of any Division I-A conference in the country. Five of the eight BIG EAST teams went to bowl games and all five emerged victorious. The league captured wins in the FedEx Orange Bowl (Louisville), the Toyota Gator Bowl (West Virginia), the Texas Bowl (Rutgers), the PapaJohn’s.com Bowl (USF) and the International Bowl (Cincinnati). The BIG EAST’s 5-0 bowl mark was the best bowl record of any Division IA conference in ‘06, earning the league ESPN’s Bowl Challenge Cup. It was only the second time since the inception of the BCS that an automatic qualifying conference has gone undefeated in any one bowl season. Three BIG EAST teams wound down the ‘06 campaign in the top 12 of the final Associated Press and USA Today Polls – Louisville (No. 6/7), West Virginia (No. 10/10) and Rutgers (No. 12/12). In 2005, three new schools – the University of Cincinnati, University of Louisville and University of South Florida – joined Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse and West Virginia in the BIG EAST. The additions

increased the football membership to eight schools and gave the BIG EAST a presence that ranged as far south as Tampa, Fla., and as far west as Louisville, Ky. In the first season as the “new-look” BIG EAST in 2005, four conference schools earned trips to bowl games.West Virginia (11-1, 7-0 BIG EAST) finished the regular season unbeaten in league play for the first time since 1993 to win the conference title. Earning the BIG EAST’s automatic Bowl Championship Series bid, West Virginia represented the conference in the 2006 Nokia Sugar Bowl in Atlanta.The Mountaineers defeated Georgia, 3835, to finish the year fifth in the final Associated Press Top 25 Poll and sixth in the final USA Today Poll. Louisville was ranked 19th and 20th, respectively, in the final AP and USA Today polls. Over the last six seasons, the BIG EAST has compiled one of the best winning percentages of any BCS conference in bowl games. BIG EAST Conference teams are 21-13 in postseason play since 2000. The BIG EAST has been a frequent contender for the national championship. Eight times in the league’s 16 seasons a BIG EAST squad has been in a bowl game, playing for a claim to the national crown. The BIG EAST has always been proud of its football student-athletes for their academic achievements. In 2006, West Virginia senior linebacker Jay Henry was named the BIG EAST/Aeropostale Football Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Henry, along with Louisville junior quarterback Brian Brohm, also received ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America First Team accolades. WVU senior center Dan Mozes earned second team recognition. In addition, Rutgers’ senior fullback Brian Leonard was the recipient of the Draddy Trophy. Known in many circles as the “Academic” Heisman, the Draddy Trophy continues to be one of college football’s most sought after and competitive awards, recognizing an individual as the absolute best in the country for his combined academic success, football performance and exemplary community leadership. 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.

BIG EAST CONFERENCE

The BIG EAST has been a charter member of each of the major bowl agreements with the major conferences, beginning with The Bowl Coalition in 1992 followed by The Bowl Alliance in `95. The Bowl Championship Series began in `98. 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.The BIG EAST and ESPN have already agreed on a new six-year contract that will further enhance the league’s exposure.The new agreement will begin with the 2008 regular season and run through 2013. Of the 73 games played this past season involving BIG EAST teams, 29 of them were seen on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2. In addition, 37 others were seen on either ESPN Regional, ESPNU, ESPN360, FSN, CSTV or the NFL Network. 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 is one of the original founders of the Bowl Championship Series and continues to be one of only six conferences that receive an automatic annual bid. The BIG EAST Conference champion earns the league’s automatic BCS bid. The BCS – which enters its ninth season in 2007-08 – is a five-game arrangement for postseason college football that is designed to match the two top-rated teams in a national championship game and to create exciting and competitive matchups between eight other highly regarded teams in four other BCS games. If the BIG EAST champion finishes No. 1 or No. 2 in the final BCS stand-

ings, then that team will earn a spot in the BCS National Championship Game. Otherwise, the league champion will compete in one of the four remaining BCS bowl games – the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, FedEx Orange Bowl, Allstate Sugar Bowl or the Rose Bowl. Each bowl hosts two games once every four years - its traditional game plus a National Championship contest approximately one week later. In a first-of-its-kind collaboration among Division I conferences and football bowl partners, the BIG EAST and Big 12 Conferences — along with Notre Dame — forged a bowl partnership beginning in ‘06.This agreement assures both BCS Conferences’ and Notre Dame’s participation in the Toyota Gator Bowl and Brut Sun Bowl over a four-year period. The Toyota Gator Bowl or Brut Sun Bowl will pick a BIG EAST team after the league’s representative to the Bowl Championship Series has been determined.The Atlantic Coast Conference will provide the opposition in the Toyota Gator Bowl (CBS) and the Pac-10 Conference will participate in the Brut Sun Bowl (CBS). The Toyota Gator Bowl has the first selection at the conclusion of each season. During the four years of the deal, the BIG EAST (or Notre Dame) will send a team to both the Gator Bowl and the Sun Bowl twice. The Meineke Car Care Bowl is now in its sixth year with the BIG EAST Conference. The Meineke Car Care Bowl, which is played in Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., picks after the Toyota Gator Bowl or Brut Sun Bowl. In 2006, the BIG EAST entered into a four-year agreement to participate in the Texas Bowl versus an opponent from the Big 12 Conference. During the four-year agreement, the BIG EAST is guaranteed to play in the bowl game twice (2006 and 2008).The Texas Bowl is played at the state-of-the-art Reliant Stadium in Houston,Texas. The BIG EAST Conference also aligned itself with two new bowls beginning last season – the International Bowl in Toronto, Ontario, and the PapaJohn’s.com Bowl in Birmingham, Ala.The agreements give the BIG EAST a total of six bowl deals. In the International Bowl, the BIG EAST faces a team from the Mid-American Conference. In the PapaJohn’s.com Bowl, the BIG EAST plays a team from Conference USA.

USF AND THE NFL

R E C O R D S & H I S T O R Y

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. For Jones, Henry and Gramatica, the three draftees in 2001, success did not end on Draft Day. Jones - and Scott McCready, a developmental roster player with the Patriots - each won Super Bowl XXXVI ring with New England’s upset victory over the St. Louis Rams. Henry played three years in Cleveland before signing lucrative free agent contract with Dallas, where he still starts. As a rookie with Cleveland, he tied Tampa Bay’s Ronde Barber for the most interceptions in the NFL with 10.

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, a fourth round pick by Philadelphia in 2004, also played in a Super Bowl. Henry was Cleveland’s nickel back and tied with Tampa Bay Buccaneer Ronde Barber to lead the entire NFL with 10 interceptions. And prior to a midseason knee injury, Gramatica had won the placekicking job at Arizona. For head coach Jim 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 is yet another sign of just how strong the burgeoning USF program has become.

J.R. Reed played in Super Bowl XXXIX with Philadelphia.
