I don't have the standings for USF as compared to all of I-A nor do I have any special insight into the coaching staff. But here are the stats for the year for USF since 2001. Here are the last 5 seasons for comparison, average per game. 2005 - 9.3 for 73.7 yds per game (doesn't include bowl game) 2004 - 9.6 for 82.5 yds per game 2003 - 9.4 for 83 yds per game 2002 - 11.6 for 98.7 yds per game (school record) 2001 - 10 for 88 yds per game So, the penalties per game are staying about the same, but the yards per game are trending down. I think this reflects less of the stupid personal foul penalties than in the past. Most penalties in a game. 18 - @TCU, 45-44 USF win in OT 9/25/04 18 - Cincinnati, 31-16 USF win 11/19/05 Fewest penalties in a game 2 - Drake, 22-23 loss 9/20/97 2 - @ECU, 38-37 USF in OT 11/08/03 Most penalty yards in a game 164 - @TCU, 45-44 USF win in OT 9/25/04 137 - Cincinnati, 31-16 USF win 11/19/05 (Tied for 8th most) Fewest penalty yards in a game 15 - @ECU, 38-37 USF in OT 11/08/03 22 - Drake, 22-23 loss 9/20/97 Kizarvexis Edit: added most and fewest penalties in a game.
