"This is a great question!" michibull was awarded the badge 'Conversation Starter' and 20 points. I was thinking, we have had a lot of “characters” come through USF. Sure we all love QF, Grothe, Blackwell and such, but who is your favorite Bill that was either underrated or just not the “most” popular player? Mine is Trae Williams in football, he was really dependable yet over shadowed by Jenkins. In basketball, it was Chris Howard, he wasn’t overly athletic, but was very smart and reliable with ball handling and distribution. What are your thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he'd make a big play I'd yell St. Loouuiiieeee! like Dave Mishkin on the Lightning radio calls. Probably Toarlyn Fitzpatrick in basketball. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlton Mitchell was one that I enjoyed watching. Bit of trivia here - his mother, Andrea, was my anesthesiologist for a couple of surgeries. She had to put the mask on me to stop me from talking about USF football so they could operate! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys were the guts of our defenses in some ways. Tip of the hat to Joe Morgan too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about this and I surprisingly have to choose an offensive player, RB Demetris Murray. The guy got us some tough yards, had a nose for the end zone, could catch the ball, blocked for his teammates. I cannot remember him being out of position or even fumbling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Dubose had amazing character and great leadership. And I can never forget the catch by Jessie Hester.

UCF found out they weren't going to win so easily when McCants dragged their defender into the end zone. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
