Some of the problem seems to be that Julmist is putting too much on the ball at times.

Gruden took Dungys team to the super Bowl, Gruden now has HIS now so don't expect to be back! Gruden may make a good coach in the ivy league.

nice punt

great job baker!!!!!!

Come on Andre

Maybe they should let Nicholas play offence

julmist my butt, how about hill can;t catch!

Don't worry Bull fans ,if you read between the lines you will notice he's really on our side....... TO ALL BULLS FANS You think us rednecks are really that stu.. stu.. stupidHuh? To all us clowns talking crap and predicting a blowout... quit taking USF so light... we have had some bad years and I really think that you can strut into state college and whoop our a$$ like some of you say. You are in one of the best conferences in college football... and we really care that you beat pitt... That was really big .. we've done it a couple of times... we're happy you beat them... we like them too... and please tell us more about andre hall... we don't have anyone on our side that matches his abilities.. when the Bulls win I'll gladly kiss each one of you all right after the game,(I'll be wearing the $200 pants so you willl know who I am). And I really congratulate you but seriously fellas.. who said you're a 23 point underdog?.. I would be predicting a close game or beating us... I'm praying that you don't upset us because that's what it would be for us to beat you and if you bury us it won't be a suprise.. because we are cleary the lesser team.. joe paterno thinks the Bulls are a very good team but the nit fans think we will be playing a blind high school team and are talking a lot of crap, about how we will beat you 77-3 .We nit fans know we have our minds full of bull... we take everyone lightly... the last 5 years we did and look what happened .. Sounds more and more like we will be thinking up some more excuses for losing .. see you saurday... Go Bulls ;D

Andre !25 yds 200yds team total rushing

Howie just posted an nice article about the point spread laid on the bulls over at the bullseye free board

If he was bit by that dog he may not be back.

It has got to be that southern cal smog....Smzzie get some fresh air,,, Come on we all know you do not like the coaching staff... but why carrie your rants and raves to the Bulls???? If you don't like the way things are then root for sandiego state .... and after Leavitt retires in 2035 or so, you can come back and moan about the next new coach. USF 17---PSU 13 Go BULLS ;D

these plays put in the Bulls playbook,,,,(Last year, it seemed as though America’s college football coaches didn’t feel secure in using trick plays until the last weekend of October. September might as well have been designated “National Screen Pass Month,†for all intents and purposes. As another season comes across the calendar, one can only hope that coaches will find some stones earlier and much more often, because when they do, this sport sings. A football game becomes ridiculously fun not only when the players have A-list talent, but when two head coaches and their coordinators play a mean game of chess. Hopefully, the grandmasters will show up in week one or two, and not wait until Daylight Savings Time begins. Without further ado, then, here are five tricks that need to come out of the bag more often. Number Five Category: Special Teams – Kickoff Unit Play: Wide-side onsides kick Just watchâ€â€it happens with incredible regularity, even at the NFL level: the “up-men†on kickoff return teams start to jog away from their position, 10 yards away from the kickoff spot, as the kicker makes his steady, escalating run-up to the ball. And given that there are usually only four (maybe five) up-men in a traditional kickoff return formation, it often happens that the wide up-men will leave their posts even earlier than the ones in the middle of the field, near the hashmarks. Teams should have their kickers make the traditional run-up to the ball, only to then punch a short ball in the air and wide to the other side of the field, no more than 10-12 yards downfield. This would get great results whenever the opposing team’s up-men mechanically and automatically expected a standard downfield boot. And if coaches feel this is unsafe, they can always use the more common ground ball or bunt up the middle of the field. But while that tapped onsides kick is more familiar, it’s still underutilized on an absolute scale. Number Four Category: Special Teams – Punt Unit Play: Fake punt run with pass option Similar to kickoffs, many punt return teams will begin to jog backwards before a ball is even punted. Special teams coaches should, first of all, teach their puntersâ€â€who, if athletic, can be huge assets to their teamsâ€â€to run with the dadgum pigskin if the opponent assumes a punt. But after that, special teams coaches should install plays that offer a little more structure and, by extension, some protection to the punter, who can get overwhelmed with responsibilities and have a mental hiccup that could prove disastrous. One solution is to have the setback in front of the punter serve as an outlet for either a forward pass or a lateral. This can provide a package in which a punt, in addition to a straight run by the punter, can offer a crossfield misdirection pass or a bomb after the lateral (or even, if the opposition is lazy enough, a crossfield throw back to the punter after the lateral to the setback). Punt awareness should provide fertile ground for trick plays of both a planned and regularly improvisational nature. Punish return units that jog away from the line of scrimmage before a ball is actually kicked downfield. Number Three Category: Short Passing Game Play: Hook and Lateral Why, oh why, has the play that made the Chargers-Dolphins 1981 AFC playoff game famous been relegated to the trash heap of gadget plays? Holy Duriel Harris and Tony Nathan, Batman! Seriously, why has this play not been used more often? In today’s football climate, dominated as it is by short passing, the hook and lateral should be a natural for providing a safe initial framework from which to then try to beat defenses with big-hitting plays. There’s something simple to remember about the hook and lateral: if the lateral isn’t there, you still have a 7-10 yard gain! There’s no rule saying you have to lateral; in fact, if defenses take the lateral away, that could actually open up more running room for the initial receiver, or also set up a lateral in the middle of the field. Tony Nathan ran up the sideline to catch a lateral thrown by Harris, who caught the ball inside the numbers (a point on the field that’s roughly equidistant from the outer hash and the sideline) and then pitched the ball to the perimeter. But if defenses gravitate to the edges, another back or receiver could run in a lane between both hashes up the middle of the field. There are options, folksâ€â€America is a land of options, for goodness sake! The sneaky explanation for the non-use of the hook and lateral is a simple but powerful one: coaches are absolute pansies, blobs of shuddering fear, when it comes to asking their players to be slick ballhandlers. This reality points the way to two trick plays that need even more usage in college football. Number Two Category: Use/Manipulation of the Line of Scrimmage Play: “The Fisher King Special†The description of this play is excerpted from the Monday Morning Quarterback on December 1, 2003: â€ÂBeyond Fisher’s overall trends, however, the brain behind the Tigers’ offense also displayed one of the best and most creative plays ever witnessed on a football field. It gained only two yards because of unbelievable reactions from Arkansas’ defense, but it is a play that can and should represent the best of offensive play calling in the 21st Century. Let’s break it down… Fisher had Matt Mauck line up in a shotgun formation, fake a handoff, hesitate (to freeze the Hogs’ defense), and then run to his right with an option pitchman still available andâ€â€here’s the wrinkleâ€â€a receiver in the right flat who was easily available for a pass, given the initial hesitation at the line of scrimmage, which cleared out the passing lanes toward the edges. Usually, when teams use option plays (this is especially true for option/wishbone teams), they have the quarterback “break the bone,†which means running down the line to sell option, only to then drop straight back and throw a pass deep in the backfield. The genius of this play from Fisher was manifested on several levels: first, it had the feel of an option play, but it was able to gain that feel from a pro-set shotgun spread formation. Secondly, the play’s misdirection element enabled the quarterback (Mauck) to be able to comfortably throw a forward pass without having to “break the bone,†a very potent proposition for offenses and an equally scary one for defenses. Third, Mauck’s execution of the play showed why this playâ€â€or variations of it with similar principlesâ€â€has a chance to be so consistently devastating throughout the 21st Century. (Offensive coordinators, I hope you’re taking notes here…) One concept that needs to be part of a newly innovative and creative brand of play calling that will modernize and advance college football (not to mention football at any other level) is the clever use of the line of scrimmage. A boatload of creative plays can and should come from the fact that ballcarriers can sucker defenses by running at full speed up to the line of scrimmage, only to then throw a lateral or forward pass that will leave defenses totally dumbfounded. Matt Mauck perfectly executed Fisher’s fabulous play because he ran the option at regular speed, went down the line, and, without moving away from the line of scrimmageâ€â€but without running PAST the line of scrimmage at the same timeâ€â€immediately uncorked a forward pass. Let’s face it: how many times do you see a quarterback run an option down the line and, just when you think he’ll release the ball by pitching to the pitchman, suddenly throw a forward pass? That’s just itâ€â€you hardly ever see that kind of a play from a coordinator and the quarterback to whom he entrusts a play with an option look. The use of the line of scrimmage will enable teams and their skill position players to throw forward passes precisely when defenses don’tâ€â€and can’tâ€â€expect them. Having players throw forward passes or laterals at full speed while being just half a yard behind the line of scrimmage is the next frontier in play calling (and while we’re at it, slick ballhandling and the practice drills that will cultivate such skills). Jimbo is the Fisher King after a magnificently creative display.†http://www.collegefootballnews.com/2005/Columnists/MZ/TrickPlays.htm Number One Category: Combo--Use/Manipulation of the Line of Scrimmage, plus Sophisticated, Slick Ballhandling Play: An Updated Flea Flicker We all know about the traditional flea flicker. We also know about the wrinkles on the flea flicker provided by Steve Spurrier from his Florida days, in which the quarterback would pitch to the running back, only for the running back to hand the ball back to the QB while running toward the line of scrimmage. But it’s time to update and modernize the flea flicker even more. It’s time for running backs to become better actors and ballhandlers. On a third and short, for example, a running back should attempt a Herschel Walker-like dive play, only to intentionally (but seemingly unintentionally) shot-put the ball backwards to the quarterback, who could find a lone tight end or flanker down the field in total isolation after all 11 defenders reacted to the “dive play.†Another updated variation of the flea flicker is, on a wide running play to the boundary, for the running back to sprint right up to the line of scrimmage (half a yard) and then, on a time, turn and fire a lateral to the QB, who would figure to have a lonely receiver open, given the runner’s exceptional ability to sell a traditional running play. We’ve all seen running backs awkwardly try to fake runs on halfback option passes, and it’s tricky for the runner to do this. What can provide for an easier trick play is to just let him run right up to the line of scrimmage and lead the defense to converge with total instinctiveness. But then, just before the line of scrimmageâ€â€and this is why manipulation of the line of scrimmage, if done right, is the keystone that will unlock a series of devastating trick plays in the future of the sport of college footballâ€â€the runner can shockingly and abruptly alter the whole nature of the play. Put it this way: why try to disguise a play with unconvincing acting when you can just act out the play and then manipulate the line of scrimmage? Yes, it would take some practice, but this isn’t quite rocket science, either. Manipulating the line of scrimmage and using some clever ballhandlingâ€â€sometimes making the scripted seem unscriptedâ€â€will unleash a torrent of highly successful trick plays that will work because, gosh darnit, they’ll seem like traditional runs right up to the last fraction of a second, when the running back suddenly throws a lateral half a yard before the line of scrimmage. Careful awareness of the scrimmage line will enable offenses to devastate defenses.

DJH will be starting. I think?????? But who knows for sure but Leavitt at this time.

Say velcro, your right about benzer, that guy is the real deal so I'll change the benzer pick to gachette

Does any bobody know if STK and smazzie are related?????????would one of them go by the handle,: TennesseeBull ?Here is one of his comments to the Q, USF vs Which state school every year? His answer : I think USF should develop an intra-state rivalry with Nova Southeastern University. I hear they have a solid intramural flag football sqaud this year. / Sure looks like something he would say. TennesseeBull"s Qoute is from the scout.com bull pit board.http://mb4.scout.com/fsouthfloridafrm5.showMessage?topicID=77.topic

How about Chad Barnhart and Marquel Blackwell

those guys had the magic touch in being able to make a great game sound boring.

Good thing love is blind.

Glad to know that its just sore and not injured.

( Duemig would probably admit to you that he's not that well versed on Bulls football, but you know what, just like everyone else in the area, if we start to win again, he'll be right there on the bandwagon.)  Who wants a band wagon host???? If the Bulls start winning then he will take notice? What does it take to get his attention with what the Bulls already  have accomplished??? The Bulls are and will be a great Talk Show Subject.  One bad season and all  that the the Bulls have done gets flushed down the toilet. I don't buy into :wait till you start winning and I will support you. IF thats what it takes for him to reconize the Bulls or at lest be more aknowledgeable then can him. . ÂÂ

as the old saying gos : hind sight is 20-20 . It is easy for any of us to say, this is what I would have said, but the fact is we didn't. What howie said was his agenda. All of us have said things and thought later I should have said this or that ( get my point ;D) No hard feelings just my thoughts. Go Bulls

brought on the transfers will it count on next years recruiting total or this years?????

1 Bulls 2 17 - 13 3 270 4 A. Jackson

You will see some changes from last year but, still be called a spread. Some of the meyer- utah type plays have been added from what I have been hearing.  Like the dog its a real beauty. Was reading about that dog about how it just won the worlds most ugly dog contest. Sure gets my vote.
