GAME DAY vs. Red Raiders USF will make its third straight bowl appearance and ninth overall (5-3) as the Bulls return to the Birmingham Bowl for the second straight year. USF has won four of its last five bowl games, downing a pair of Power6 opponents (Clemson & South Carolina) in that span. The Bulls will face Texas Tech for the first time and take on a Big 12 team for the first time in a bowl game. The Bulls have faced four Power6 opponents in bowl games, going 2-2. USF is 1-3 all-time vs. Big 12 teams, having downed No. 11 Kansas, 37-34, in Tampa in 2008. BIRMINGHAM: USF will be making its third bowl appearance in Birmingham. The Bulls are 2-0 all-time at Legion Field in bowl games, having downed ECU, 24-7, in the first Birmingham Bowl (then PapaJohns Bowl) in 2006. The Bulls downed South Carolina, 46-39, in overtime in last year’s Birmingham Bowl. USF’s third apperance in the bowl will mark the most of any team. Birmingham (3) and Charlotte (2) are the only locales USF has played more than one bowl game among its nine appearances in 17 years of eligibility. 2016 MVP FLOWERS RETURNS IN ELITE COMPANY: Quinton Flowers earned MVP honors in the 2016 Birmingham Bowl after totaling 336 yards (rushing for 105) and 5 touchdowns in the game, including the game winning 25-yard TD pass in overtime.

Going to try to enjoy watching Q play one last time. I guess I'll figure out how to enjoy the off season and look forward to next year. Go Bulls.
