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. The common denominator for success at each of Leavitt’s stops has been an unyield- ing 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.

Jones and McGowan each won the Butkus Award and Jones added the Lombardi Award. Prior to joining USF,Burnham was the assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at South Carolina between 1994-98. Upon arriving at South T 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 H in the SEC.The defense ranked as high as 22nd in the nation under When USF head coach Jim Leavitt announced the addition of Burnham, and it was a crucial factor in South Carolina’s win over West E Wally Burnham to the USF staff in March 2000, he drew an analogy Virginia in the 1996 Carquest Bowl. to a “recruiting coup.” Prior to coaching at South Carolina, Burnham was a nine-year assistant Why not?

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

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

Frey has quickly gained a reputation for molding young offen- * USF did not play games in 1996 sive linemen into outstanding players both as individuals and more importantly as a unit. It began with Kenyatta Jones, an offensive tackle who became USF’s first-ever player to be draft- ed into the NFL when the New England Patriots selected him in the fourth round of the 2001 draft. Between 2001 and 2002, after Jones and four-year starter Joey Sipp concluded their USF career, Frey worked almost exclusive- ly with freshmen and sophomore starters and yet his charges always performed well beyond their collective experience while protecting quarterback Marquel Blackwell, who set every USF career passing record over the last four years. In 2002, USF quarterbacks were sacked just 19 times despite a starting line comprised entirely of freshmen and sophomores. In 2001, USF quarterbacks were sacked just 16 times. In 2004, Frey had the luxury of a complete starting unit that returned intact for a second straight season, including seniors Alex Herron (center), Levi Newton (right tackle) and Derrick Sarosi (left tackle). Newton signed a free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts, and despite the fact that he, Herron and Sarosi have all departed, Frey still has a solid corps of linemen that he has tutored to take over, including returning starters Chris Carothers and Frank Davis, as well as part-time starter John Miller. A former standout offensive lineman at Florida State University and Clearwater High School in Pinellas County,Frey has been a perfect fit on the USF staff. “Greg Frey has displayed the devotion and passion we look for in the South Florida football program,” head coach Jim Leavitt said upon announcing his original promotion in 1999. “He has been a very capable member on our staff from the beginning, and we are pleased to have an opportunity to promote him.” In his graduate assistant role at USF from 1996-98, Frey worked mostly with the offensive line, but he also played an instrumental part in breaking down opponent film and working with the USF scout teams in preparing the Bulls for each oppo- nent. When he took over the defensive ends, he played a critical role in the early development of the Shawn Hay, who was USF’s all- time sack leader when he graduated in 2000.

It was immediately prior to that 2000 season that Gregory was a E head coach at Missouri Southern State College in Joplin, Mo., holding that job in 1998 and 1999. S The major bulk of Gregory’s coaching career came at Army, where he began as a part-time assistant in 1982 under head coach Ed Cavanaugh. He first worked with receivers in 1982 and 1983 and then assumed command of the tight ends in 1984, while he also worked that one season as the head coach of the junior varsity team. In 1985 he began the first of two seasons as the running backs coach before spending the 1987 season coaching the quarterbacks. It was in 1989 that Gregory became offensive coordinator and in 1991 he added associate head coach to his duties at Army. While at Army, he helped lead the program to its only four Bowl Games in the Academy’s history and the Cadets won 10 of 16 games against arch-rival Navy.The Cadets also led the nation in rushing four separate times during Gregory’s tenure. He coached Ron McAda, the only Army quarterback ever drafted into the NFL and running back Mike Mayweather, who rushed for more than 4,000 career yards. From 1982-85, while coaching at Army, Gregory was also a com- missioned officer in the United States Army with a rank of captain. Gregory began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Virginia in 1980, two years prior to starting his long stint with Army. He was a quarterback himself at Richmond, lettering in three of his four seasons with the team between 1976-79. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in physical education at Richmond in 1980 and went on to earn 24 credit hours in sports psychology graduate studies at Virginia. Gregory and his wife, Judy, have three children, sons Tate (22) and Grant (19) and daughter Layne, who turns 15 in December.

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

78 2004 SEASON REVIEW USF 21, Tennessee Tech 7 GAME 1 Raymond James Stadium • Tampa, Fla. • Sept. 11 • 7 p.m. USF 1-0, Tennessee Tech 1-1 Tampa, Fla. – Admitting his team was probably fortunate it wasn’t playing Pittsburgh – as originally sched- uled – for its season opener, USF head coach Jim Leavitt walked away from it’s 21-7 victory over Tennessee Tech knowing a win is a win.And at least for this win, Leavitt can look to his team’s defense as the deciding factor … USF had been scheduled to meet Pittsburgh in the opener on September 6, but Hurricane Frances forced a postponement … For most of the night, the USF offense struggled to the point of wondering if the postponement had been extended.At times, the running game showed some flash with Clenton Crossley and Andre Hall combining for 143 yards on 30 carries, but the offense struggled to sustain drives … The first USF touchdown – a two-yard run by Hall – came after Bruce Gipson had returned a punt to the Tennessee Tech 37 yard line and J.B. Garris gained 25 yards on a first down reverse.The second touchdown came after Mike Jenkins blocked a punt to give the Bulls the ball at the Tennessee Tech 21-yard line, and the third and final touchdown came on a 37-yard interception return by redshirt freshman Trae Williams … Pat Julmiste started at quarterback for the Bulls, but gave way to Ronnie Banks after Julmiste scored on a three-yard run with 12:55 remaining in the second quarter. Julmiste indicated he turned his knee on the play immediately prior to the touchdown. Neither quarterback proved particularly effective … Defensively, USF allowed Tennessee Tech 145 total yards, including just 16 on the ground.The Bulls also recorded five sacks.Tennessee Tech’s lone touch- down came after Banks threw an interception to Brandon Shelby, who returned it to the USF 29-yard line. Two pass interference calls against the Bulls helped the Golden Eagles to a quick drive that culminated in an eight-yard touchdown pass.

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

81 USF 45, TCU 44 (2 overtimes) GAME 3 Amon G. Carter Stadium • Fort Worth, Texas • Sept. 25 • 6 p.m. USF 2-1, 1-0, TCU 2-2, 0-1 Ft. Worth, Tex. – Hurricane Jeanne having already forced the USF football team to stay an extra night in Ft.Worth before a game with TCU even got started, the Bulls played as if they had all night to finish their work. USF would play – and win – its fourth double overtime game in its last 11 games when TCU couldn’t get off a PAT because of a bad snap. USF is now 5-0 all-time in overtime games and all five have gone to double overtime … Andre Hall ran for 119 yards and three touchdowns and grabbed four catches for 65 yards and another touchdown, while quarterback Pat Julmiste had a career-best day with 324 yards on 22 of 33 passing with no interceptions … TCU had won 15 straight regular season home games entering the contest … Hall made his presence known early with a 58-yard run on USF’s second possession to set up a one-yard Julmiste touchdown run and a 7-0 lead. But TCU would score 10 points on its next two possessions, and other than overtime, USF would never regain a lead in regulation, despite five ties leading up to a 31-31 score heading into overtime … TCU had the first offensive possession in overtime and with the aid of two USF penalties, the Horned Frogs took a 38-31 lead on a Lonta Hobbs eight-yard run. USF struck right back on a five-play drive capped by a one-yard Hall touchdown run … The Bulls went up 45-38 in the second overtime on a four-play drive that finished with a 14-yard Hall run. USF would then force a fourth-and-one for TCU at the 16-yard line, but allowed quarterback Brandon Hassell to bootleg for a 16-yard score, setting up the game-ending PAT attempt … A bad snap was never caught by the holder and TCU was unable to convert a frantic two-point effort … Hall’s 58-yard run early in the game was the longest-ever non-scoring run for a USF player and Julmiste’s 324 yard game was just the sixth-ever 300-yard passing day for a USF quarterback and the fourth highest total … Stephen Nicholas led the defense with nine tackles, including two for losses.

82 Southern Miss 27, USF 20 GAME 4 Raymond James Stadium • Tampa, Fla. • Oct. 2 • 7 p.m. Southern Miss 3-0, 2-0, USF 2-2, 1-1 Tampa, Fla. – Despite an omnipresent case of effort, too may self-inflicted mistakes doomed the USF Bulls in a 27- 20 loss to Southern Mississippi in Raymond James Stadium. Four interceptions and 10 penalties stymied the Bulls every time they appeared ready to get back into the game … Southern Mississippi converted nine of 19 third down attempts and picked up 312 net yards on offense to hand USF its first Conference USA loss of the season … USF’s offense appeared ready to pick up where it left off in a 45-44 double overtime win at TCU last week after one three- and-out to start the game, before putting together a solid drive on its second possession.That ended with a 41-yard field goal from Santiago Gramatica to tie the game 3-3 … But the offense stalled and the defense allowed too many third down conversions as Southern Miss ran its lead to 20-3 with a 45-yard scoring pass from Dustin Almond to Marvin Young to open the second half … USF did recover early in the fourth quarter and closed to 20-13 on anoth- er Gramatica field goal. But even that was bittersweet as USF had a first and goal at the two-yard line after a Southern Miss long snap sailed over the punter’s head … Then the penalties began to cripple the Bulls, including a pass interference call on what would have been a Javan Camon interception.The penalty was doubly troubling when Terrance Royal was called for unsportsmanlike conduct for taking his helmet off. Southern Miss scored on the next play to make the score 27-13 with 5:41 remaining … Still, USF hung tough, closing to 27-20 on a nine-yard pass from Pat Julmiste to S.J. Green with 1:38 remaining.The Bulls recovered an onside kick, but it was negated by an early touch … Andre Hall scored his fifth touchdown run of the year and finished with 56 yards on 14 carries. Julmiste was 14 of 35 for 150 yards with the four interceptions … Javan Camon and Patrick St. Louis led the defense with 10 tackles each, while Stephen Nicholas had three stops for losses among his eight tackles.

83 Army 42, USF 35 GAME 5 Raymond James Stadium • Tampa, Fla. • Oct. 16 • 7 p.m. Army 2-4, 2-3 USF 2-3, 1-2 Tampa, Fla. – The USF football team played in front of a Raymond James Stadium crowd for its Homecoming Game against Army and set a new single game team rushing record with 367 yards.The only thing the Bulls couldn’t do was win … Despite a 28-14 lead with just 2:57 remaining in the third quarter, USF allowed Army to score 22 fourth quarter points for a 42-35 win. It marked the first time USF lost two games in a row in two years (at Arkansas and Oklahoma) and it was the first time ever that the Bulls lost two straight at home, after having lost 27-20 to Southern Miss two weeks ago.The 22 points was also the most ever allowed by USF in a fourth quarter … With 36,549 in attendance, USF’s defense allowed Army to run for 242 yards, including 225 from Carlton Jones, who had touchdowns of 59 and 74 yards to outshine USF’s Andre Hall, who carried 19 times for 200 yards to become USF’s first-ever 200-yard runner against a I-A opponent. Dyral McMillan had back-to-back 200-yard games for USF against I-AA foes … USF looked aggressive at the outset, nearly recovering an opening on-side kick and then forcing a fum- ble on Army’s first drive when Craig Kobel sacked Zac Dahman. USF scored just six plays later on an 18-yard Hall run for a 7-0 lead … Army quickly tied the game on its next possession with a 13-play drive, but the Bulls appeared back on track in taking a 14-7 lead midway through the second quarter on a 21-yard Hall run. Despite a missed field goal that hit the upright with 39 seconds left in the half, USF seemed to have momentum and stated its case further with an impressive 12-play drive (all runs) to open the second half and take a 21-7 lead … But Army never quit, even when USF took its second 14-point lead at 28-14. On Army’s next two possessions, Jones made quick work with his two long touchdown runs.The Black Knights had a PAT blocked on one, but made up for it with a two-point con- version to tie the score at 28-28 … Army took the lead at 35-28 on a13-yard run from Jones, and after Jackie Chambers fumbled a wide receiver screen, Jones scored his fifth touchdown of the game for a 42-28 lead with just 2:24 left. USF closed the final margin to seven on a 43-yard touchdown pass from Pat Julmiste to Joe Bain, but could not recover an onside kick for a final chance at overtime.

84 Louisville 41, USF 9 GAME 6 Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium • Louisville, Ky. • Oct. 22 • 8 p.m. Louisville 5-1, 3-0 USF 2-4, 1-3 Louisville, Ky. – USF fell behind early at No. 15 Louisville and never could rally in a 41-9 loss that found the Bulls amidst just the second three-game losing streak in the program’s eight-year history.The only previous three-game losing streak came in USF’s 1997 Inaugural Season when the Bulls lost the second, third and fourth games of the year … The Bulls played 16 freshmen in the game, including 12 redshirt freshmen and four true rookies (Jackie Chambers, Johnny Peyton,Willie Phelps and Danny Verpaele) … USF did manage to stop Louisville on its first drive of the night when Terrence Royal recovered a J.R. Russell fumble for just the fifth take-away all season by the Bulls. But three plays later, USF had to punt and Louisville quarterback Stefan LeFors would go on to complete his first 12 pass attempts to lead the Cardinals to a 27-3 halftime lead … Despite the tough first half, the Bulls did battle hard throughout the second half as Leavitt indicated.And there was evidence of that hard play on both sides of the ball.Andre Hall, who had been stymied for just 14 yards on eight carries in the first half, rushed for 60 yards on just nine second half carries. Clenton Crossley also helped the second half ground gain with eight second-half carries for 32 yards … Additionally, USF scored its lone touchdown of the game on a 50-yard pass from Julmiste to freshman Johnnie Peyton … Defensively, the Bulls held Louisville to 14 second-half points (all in the third quarter) and halted a Cardinal goal line possession with four stops from inside the five-yard line.

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

86 USF 41, East Carolina 17 GAME 8 Raymond James Stadium • Tampa, Fla.. • Nov. 13 • 7:00 p.m. USF 4-4, 3-3, ECU 2-7, 2-5 Tampa, Fla. – Pat Julmiste had his best career night at quarterback and Andre Hall had his third 100-yard rushing night in the last four games to lead the USF football team to a 41-17 win over East Carolina in Raymond James Stadium.The Bulls had 509 yards on offense while the defense did its part in limiting the Pirates to 91 yards rushing and 247 total yards … USF scored on its first possession of the night on a12-play, 83-yard drive and never looked back in knocking off ECU to keep the Bulls bowl chances alive with three games remaining … “It was a good win, solid all the way around,” said USF head coach Jim Leavitt.“I was a little concerned about the second half. Coming out I really wanted us to play hard in the second half because last time we were at home (Oct. 16) in the second half against Army, that second half devastated me in my life I promise you.” … USF took a comfortable 17-3 lead into halftime on a one-yard run from Julmiste to cap the first drive plus a 30-yard field goal from Santiago Gramatica and a one-yard run from Clenton Crossley … The Bulls twice had 21-point leads in the third second half with an 18-yard run from Hall in the third quarter to run the score to 24-3 and an eight-yard run from Julmiste to go up 31-10. But ECU responded to both scores to make it a two-touchdown game with plenty of time to play before USF closed it out with a 33-yard field goal from Justin Geisler and a 26-yard interception return for a touchdown from Sidney Simpson. It was Simpson’s second interception of the night, the first two of the senior nickel back’s career … USF has just four interceptions on the season, but three of them have been returned for touchdowns … Julmiste finished the night 12 of 16 for 233 yards, no interceptions and no sacks, while Hall had 161 yards on 27 carries. His touchdown run was the 10th of the season, breaking the USF school record, while his 100-yard game tied a school record as his fourth of the season. He’ll enter the Cincinnati game next week with 983 yards … Freshman receiver Johnny Peyton continued his strong play of late with three catches for 76 yards, including a long of 56 yards.

87 Cincinnati 45, USF 23 GAME 9 Nippert Stadium • Cincinnati, Ohio. • Nov. 20 • 3:30 p.m. USF 4-5, 3-4, Cincinnati 6-4, 5-2 Cincinnati, Ohio – USF put itself flat up against the wall in its bid for a first-ever Bowl appearance, losing 45-23 at Cincinnati in a game that saw the Bearcats rack up 577 yards of offense, the highest-ever against a USF team … Cincinnati’s Gino Guidugli threw for a personal career-best 377 yards on 30 of 36 passing to lead the Bearcat offense and give his team a sixth win to become Bowl-eligible. USF meanwhile, must win two straight home games against Memphis on November 27 and Pittsburgh December 4 to become Bowl-eligible … The day appeared to start well for USF with Andre Hall running for 46 yards on the second play of the game and for 60 yards on the first play of the Bulls’ second drive. But other than Hall eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark on the season and setting the school’s sin- gle season record, the Bulls had just three points on Justin Geisler’s career-long 44-yard field goal to show for it … However, after Cincinnati took a 7-3 lead on a three-yard run by Richard Hall to cap a five-play, 75-yard drive, the Bulls responded with an 11-play, 80-yard drive, culminating with Andre Hall’s four-yard run for a 10-7 USF lead … Cincinnati came back with 10 straight points for a 17-10 lead at the 5:40 mark of the second quarter, but after Bruce Gipson downed a Brandon baker punt inside the one-yard line,Terrance Royal forced a Cincinnati fumble in the end zone and Craig Kobel recovered for the score and a 17-17 tie at the 2:21 mark … With the look of a halftime tie in the making, Cincinnati grabbed control of the game and never let up, getting in a 49-yard scoring pass from Guidugli to Bill Poland with just 1:25 remaining in the half.Then, the Bearcats outscored the Bulls 21-6 in the second half, with USF’s lone score coming on a 16-yard pass from Pat Julmiste to freshman Jackie Chambers … Andre Hall fin- ished with 155 yards on 16 carries and now has 1,138 yards on the season. His fifth 100-yard rushing game of the season (three in last four games) is also a USF record and he tied the school record for total touchdowns in a season with 12.

USF entered the game knowing it had to win today and next week at home against Pittsburgh to be Bowl-eligible, but Memphis beat the Bulls in every facet and USF will have a losing season for only the second time in the program’s eight seasons … In a game that featured Williams and USF’s Andre Hall, the top two rushers in Conference USA,Williams ran for 263 yards on 28 carries with touchdown runs of 51 and 44 yards. Hall finished with his sixth 100-yard game this season and his fourth in the last five games with 134 yards on 24 carries … Memphis wasted little time in setting the tone, marching 81 yards in 11 plays on the opening drive that lasted 5:11. It was capped off with a 20-yard pass from Danny Wimprine to Tavares Gideon and a Stephen Gostowski point after touchdown made the score 7-0 with 9:49 remaining in the first quarter … USF seemed up to matching the score with 36 yards on its first eight plays, including 21 yards on three carries for Hall. But on a fourth and one at the Memphis 42, Hall was stopped for no gain and it marked the first of five fourth down attempts in which USF gained just one first down … Memphis added a first quarter field goal and by halftime the Tigers led 16-0. USF did recover in the third quarter to cut the lead to 16-7 when Julmiste scored the first of his two touchdown runs with 3:54 remaining in the third quarter. But that’s when Williams took over with his two long touchdown runs … Julmiste’s two touchdown runs gave him nine on the season, matching Marquel Blackwell’s USF record (2001) for quarterbacks. Hall, meanwhile, became USF’s third all-time leading ground gainer in just his 10th game in a USF uniform.The junior college transfer will enter next week’s game against Pittsburgh with 1,272 yards, trailing only Rafael Williams and Clenton Crossley on the all-time list … Defensively, the Bulls were led by sophomore linebacker Stephen Nicholas, who had a season-high 16 tackles.

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

155 USF AND THE NFL

NFL Director of Operations Gene Washington took to the podium Sunday April 22 to open Day 2 of the 2001 Draft and gave the entire USF BULLS & THE NFL “NFL Nation” a quick study in just how far the University of South Player Team How Acquired Florida football program had progressed since its start-up in 1996. Ryan Benjamin Tampa Bay Buccaneers Free Agent, 2001 Just after 11 a.m.,Washington announced that the New England Patriots Chicago Bears Free Agent, 2002 had traded to acquire the first pick of the fourth round, and with that pick, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Free Agent, 2003-2004 the Patriots made USF offensive tackle Kenyatta Jones the answer to what Marquel Blackwell New York Jets Free Agent, 2003 will remain among the top trivia questions in USF history.The Patriots Glenn Davis New York Jets Free Agent, 2001 made Jones the first NFL draft choice ever from USF. Bill Gramatica Arizona Cardinals Drafted 4th Round, 2001-2003 But Washington wasn’t done with the study in USF success. He quickly New York Giants Free Agent, 2004 DeJuan Green Oakland Raiders Free Agent, 2004 stepped back to the podium and announced,“with the second pick of the Jimmy Fitts New York Giants Free Agent, 2002 fourth round, the Cleveland Browns select defensive back Anthony Henry, Shawn Hay San Francisco 49ers Free Agent, 2001 also from the University of South Florida.” Anthony Henry Cleveland Browns Drafted 4th Round, 2001-Present Soon after Henry’s selection, even Washington was wondering about this Elgin Hicks Indianapolis Colts Free Agent, 2004 South Florida program.When he took to the podium to announce the Kenyatta Jones New England Patriots Drafted 4th Round, 2001-2003 third pick of the fourth round, he seemed almost mystified when he Washington Redskins Free Agent, 2004 announced,“this must be some kind of record... Maurice Jones Green Bay Packers Free Agent, 2004 “With the third pick of the fourth round, the Arizona Cardinals select Scott McCready New England Patriots Free Agent, 2001 placekicker Bill Gramatica, from the University of South Florida.” Dyral McMillan San Francisco 49ers Free Agent, 2000 Kawika Mitchell Kansas City Chiefs Drafted 2nd Round, 2003-Present One, two, three...an official run on USF Bulls in the NFL Draft. Levi Newton Indianpolis Colts Free Agent, 2004 Watching the television in his Tampa home, USF head coach Jim Leavitt Shurron Pierson Oakland Raiders Drafted 4th Round, 2003 literally ran circles through the house in sheer excitement. Chicago Bears 2004 “I’m going crazy,” Leavitt admitted seconds after Gramatica was selected. J.R. Reed Philadelphia Eagles Drafted 4th Round, 2004-Present “I just can’t stand it. I’m so excited. I’m so excited.” DeAndrew Rubin Green Bay Packers Drafted 7th Round, 2003 Within the three days following the 2001 draft, four more USF players - Hugh Smith Baltimore Ravens Free Agent, 2003 R long snapper Ryan Benjamin, defensive back Glenn Davis, defensive end Maurice Tucker Cincinnati Bengals Free Agent, 2003 Shawn Hay and receiver Scott McCready - signed NFL free agent con- Tony Umholtz Tennessee Titans Free Agent, 2000 tracts.And 1999 USF alum Tony Umholtz, a punter, also signed a 2001 New York Giants Free Agent, 2001 E New England Patriots Free Agent, 2002 free agent contract. Huey Whittaker Pittsburgh Steelers Free Agent, 2004 For Jones, Henry and Gramatica, the three draftees in 2001, success did Anthony Williams Indianapolis Colts Free Agent, 2002 not end on Draft Day. Jones - and McCready, a developmental roster player LaFann Williams Washington Redskins Free Agent, 2000 C with the Patriots - each won a Super Bowl XXXVI ring with New England’s upset victory over the St. Louis Rams. O Ryan Benjamin, a long snapper who signed as a free agent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2002, would give the Bulls yet another Super Bowl champ.And J.R. Reed would play in the January 2005 Super Bowl R with Philadelphia. Henry was Cleveland’s nickel back and tied with Tampa Bay Buccaneer Ronde Barber to lead the entire NFL with 10 interceptions. He now plays D for the Dallas Cowboys. And prior to a midseason knee injury, Gramatica had won the place- kicking job at Arizona. S For Leavitt, his staff and the players who have come through his pro- gram since 1996, the excitement of the NFL Draft and the ensuing free agent signings was yet another sign of what’s on the horizon for the bur- geoning USF program. & Perhaps Hay, who along with Benjamin and Joey Sipp, was one of just three Bulls to play in each of the 44 games through the program’s first four years sums up the progress best. “This just shows how far USF has come,” he said upon signing with the H San Francisco 49ers in 2001 before playing in NFL Europe in 2002.“This has opened some eyes and put us on the map. “Just think, (in 1997) we were nervous to be playing against Kentucky I Wesleyan (in the program’s first-ever game). Now we’re at this point. It’s mind boggling.” In 2003, minds had more to digest as three more USF players – Kawika S Mitchell (Kansas City Chiefs), Shurron Pierson (Oakland Raiders) and DeAndrew Rubin (Green Bay Packers) - were drafted. Mitchell, a line- backer, was taken in the second round, making him the highest-ever draft T choice from USF. The trio was joined by free agent signees Marquel Blackwell (New York O Jets), Hugh Smith (Baltimore Ravens) and Maurice Tucker (Cincinnati Bengals). And in 2004, Reed was a fourth round pick by Philadelphia, while R DeJuan Green (Oakland), Elgin Hicks (Indianapolis), Maurice Jones and Huey Whittaker (Pittsburgh) signed free agent contracts. Y J.R. Reed played in last year’s Super Bowl with Philadelphia.
