Bulls hope to avoid penalty flags

So far, USF has been penalized 18 times for 174 yards. Ironically, the year the Bulls were penalized the most (2002) they finished 9-2, the best record in the program's 10-year history. Still, USF head coach Jim Leavitt said his team has to cut down on the flags.

Maybe this is a good thing

The timeliness and severity of the penalties we have committed this far are troubling. I can live with the occaisional holding and pass intereference penalties. It's the silly penalties we've made on special teams that need to be corrected soon. Once that happens we should be ok.

Look at lask week. We had 7 penalties for 93 yards.  3 were on special teams on plays where Randolph returned punts for TD's. I know of 2 that were on the D (Williams' Pass Interference (which was questionable) and Buie's face mask on the QB). If we only have 2 penalties on each side of the ball each game, then that is certainly acceptable.

No doubt.  Hopefully the younger bulls will realze the possible repercussions of silly penalties.  3 out of 4 touchdown returns called back beacuse of penalties.  If that stat does not say it all what will.  :-/
