Do you mean it's interesting b/c we all thought that Peoples would be a middle linebacker?

I think the staff just wants Peoples to get some experience. Mompremier is the heir apparent to Moffitt.

To play devils advocate......I didnt  see the major media out for blood when that clemson and south carolina fight a few years back.  This is being pumped up because of the U's reputation.

Clemson and SC declined their bowl game. Thats alot worse than Duke. As I remember the fight wasn't as bad as this one was either.

You are right about Miami's reputation pumping this up. Three fights in one year (LSU, Louisville, FIU). Don't get me wrong, FIU is just as bad for this, but UM is out of control without anything being done except wrist slaps.

....and that Bianchi tool had the audacity to call USF a "renegade program".  

What have we learned over the last three weeks:

1. FLorida can make a 2nd drug suspension vanish w/o being called out by the media.

2. UM can get away with murder with a slap on the wrist.

3. The Tampa  Tribune has yet to acknowledge what is developing into Jim Leavitt's best coaching job yet.

Merriweather is a punk...

How sweet would it be for 4 Big East teams to be ranked?

FIU showed more fight than UCF did last night....

Alvarado made solid contact with his kicks and you could hear the "thud" on his field goal and extra points. I haven't heard a good "thud" like that since Bill Grammatica was playing for the Bulls.

It could all be coming together for USF: QB & RB play.....gang tackling on defense....is a reliable kicking game next?

BTW....punting still scares the crap out of me!!

...considering how starved we had been for points BG (Before Grothe) it's an amazing turnaround.

Combine that with a defense that seems to be finding itself and good special teams play....this could be a dangerous team down the stretch.

This is actually good turn of events for USF.

UL stays undefeated and in the Top 10.

UC played their best game of the year and will likely have a letdown against the Bulls.

Win against Cincy and Pitt and we have a special season on our hands with a rebuilding team that has been grinding all year.

Gulf Blanks Rival Pasco

By CRISTINA LEDRA The Tampa Tribune

Published: Oct 13, 2006

NEW PORT RICHEY - It took Gulf the first 10 plays of the game to go out to a two touchdown lead on Pasco Friday night.

Anyone expecting the Buccaneers to give a lead like that up hadn't yet seen their defense.

For the second week in a row the Bucs earned a shutout, beating Pasco 22-0.

"If we lost we were done," Gulf coach Jay Fulmer said. "It was just that simple. The coaches knew it, the players knew it, the fans knew. Everybody knew what was at stake. Our kids just responded very well."

Gulf is now in second place in Class 3A-District 8 with Pasco.

The game was the Bucs' to lose from the opening possession when Alton Voss completed a 20-yard pass to Shawn Williamson then followed that up with a 50-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Jackson.

They just never let up.

Two plays later, Voss grabbed an interception and ran it back 49 yards to put Gulf in scoring position at the Pasco 39-yard line. After an incomplete pass, Voss then ran 39-yards for a touchdown at the 10:05 mark of the first quarter.

Voss finished the game going 7-for-18 for 95 yards passing with 71 yards rushing and three touchdowns total (two passing, one rushing) and was equally impressive on defense with two interceptions.

Gulf's Marcus Neeson also had two interceptions.

The Buccaneers preyed on the Pasco secondary. The result was four picks on the Pirates while the Bucs' defense allowed just 47 yards passing.

"They played a very good football game," Pasco coach Dale Caparaso said. "Tonight they were heck of a lot better than we were. They were way more prepared than we were. They took it to us."

The problems were plentiful for Pasco. From about a dozen penalties, one of which was an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that led to a Gulf touchdown right before the first half expired (a 6-yard pass from Voss to Williamson), and a lack of offense in general. The Pirates never made it into the red zone.

Three additional penalties after Gulf's third touchdown led to the ejection of Pasco's Greg Pye and McClain Bryant.

Voss had to basically fall down to get the 2-point conversion to put the Bucs up 22-0.

"We took advantage of everything Pasco gave us," Voss said.

Gulf running back Julian Ford and linebacker Timmy Longnecker were banged up toward the end of the game. Ford appeared to twist his ankle and had to be helped off the field and Longnecker appeared to sustain a jaw injury.

The teams had more than 25 penalties between them.

Pasco 0 0 0 0 - 0

Gulf 14 8 0 0 - 22

G - Jackson 50 pass from Voss (Munoz kick)

G - Voss 38 run (Munoz kick)

G - Williamson 6 pass from Voss (Voss run)

As we speak Mav is trying to spin this into another ucf moral victory.

voss will not be comimg to usf to sit for 3 years

he is better of going to ftu/ou/oc where he has a chance to start all 4 years

you are such a moron....

why do you even call yourself a Bulls fan.

So tired of your crap.

Leavitt about the refs on Pass Interference calls: "... I guess we can't even breathe on 'em ..."

Some times I wonder how much our penalty rep hurts us on some of these calls.

:-?

10 years of fielding teams that demonstrate no discipline will get leavitt and bulls no love from refs

his whinning and crying about calls is so unbecoming

leavitt needs to worry about what is going around oon field instead of pandering to the crowd

has he called big east officials?

no body posted an article about leavitt's official complaint about the refs!

the usf football program has a 10 year reputation for violating the rules on the field of play so i dont expect penalties to lessen anytime this year

Link:GROTHE LEADS USF TO 38-16 WIN OVER UCONN

Matt Grothe ran for three touchdowns and threw for another

Oct. 7, 2006

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -Matt Grothe ran for three touchdowns and threw for another, leading South Florida to a 38-16 rout of Connecticut on Saturday.

The rushing TDs gave Grothe seven. The most productive freshman quarterback in the nation threw his eighth TD pass of the season to Amarri Jackson in the fourth quarter, equaling the number South Florida had all of last season.

A master of the second-half comeback in his first five games, Grothe ensured the Bulls (4-2, 1-1) wouldn't need any late heroics by building a 14-9 halftime lead, then running for TDs on USF's first two possessions of the third quarter.

Connecticut (2-3, 0-1) had a punt blocked, missed a short field goal and had a 55-yard run that could have helped the Huskies to a fast start nullified by a penalty - all in the first quarter.

The misfortune continued in the second quarter when Matt Nuzie missed an extra point.

Grothe, who left briefly in the first half with an ankle injury, completed 12 of 15 passes for 146 yards. He ran for 82 yards on 15 carries and scored on jaunts of 16, 8 and 6 yards.

Benjamin Williams rushed for 108 yards and one TD for South Florida.

Both teams were coming off disappointing losses, South Florida losing 22-20 to Rutgers when Amp Hill dropped a 2-point conversion pass with 15 seconds remaining and Connecticut giving up 464 yards rushing to Navy in a 41-17 rout.

The Huskies spent much of the first half digging a hole they were never able to escape. The blocked punt set up Grothe's TD run on South Florida's first play from scrimmage and Nuzie missed a 24-yard field goal after Connecticut marched from its 44 to the Bulls' 7 late in the opening quarter.

Grothe set up Williams' 13-yard scoring run with a 31-yard completion to S.J. Green, however South Florida's offense sputtered the rest of the half, especially after the redshirt freshman was shaken up on the first play of the second quarter.

The quarterback sat out four plays, returning on the Bulls' next possession after getting his right ankle taped. UConn cut into a two-touchdown deficit with Matt Bonislawski's 10-yard TD pass to Deon Anderson and trailed 14-9 at the half after Graig Vicidomino kicked a 19-yard field goal.

The Huskies got a 1-yard TD run from Lou Allen to make it 38-16.

i think he will see action right away, unless he is going to redshirt.  It makes no sense to not use right away. By game 8 he should be back in game shape.

if you asked a Gator fan who their #2 team is....what do you think they would answer?

unless big 3 come calling

Which are obviously praying occurs so you can rip Leavitt, USF and everybody else...as usual.

Congrats!

Gee talk about what is wrong about college football and a real renegade program.

Players beating up their girlfriends, drug and academic suspensions etc....

Let's see if  Mikey "Douchebag" Bianchi writes about his outrage....

Holy crap, when did that happen?

Shouldn't we do something to commemorate the event?

;D Like ban him?   ;D

we should reset it back to zero and see how long it takes him to reach 40K again.

I think I remember reading somewhere that we had a couple walk-ons coming this year. This is likely one of them.

http://www.sptimes.com/2006/07/22/Sports/Defensive_tackle_gets.shtml

BASKETBALL: Robert McCullum has added a walk-on for the upcoming season in 6-foot-5 guard/forward Jared Rubens, a freshman from Miami Krop High School. . . .

I don't know what is scarier, that I remembered an obscure little footnote from a few months ago or that you knew exactly where to find it.  

we are certifiable Bullaholics!!!

Well ... she'll be in my arms in about a month  

Awesome ET!!!

Keep us posted.

welcome aboard David.

When a player works this hard to get qualified, you have to love his work ethic and will. The easy thing would have been to gone JUCO or given up...
