BULLS FOOTBALL

GAME SET VS MARYLANDUSF will continue a four-game homestand to begin the 2014 season with a 3:30 p.m. kick vs. Maryland at Raymond James Stadium. It will mark the first time a USF game has kicked off at 3:30 in Ray Jay prior to the month of October. Temperatures are expected around 90 with a heat index over 100. USF will be facing the Terrapins for the first time, one of four first time opponents in the first seven games, and a Big Ten team for the second time, having lost at Penn State (23-13) in 2005. This will not be the first trip to Raymond James for a Big Ten team as the Outback Bowl regularly hosts a Big Ten program. USF is scheduled to face two Big Ten teams this season (at Wisconsin) and play six games against them over the next five seasons. The Bulls improved to 17-1 in home openers last week with a 36-31 win over Western Carolina behind a USF and AAC record 275 yards rushing and four TD from freshman tailback Marlon Mack. Maryland posted a 52-7 win over James Madison behind 285 yards rushing from three primary ball carriers and a defense that forced three turnovers and 10 punts.

SCOUTING MARYLANDOpponent History: 2014 marks the first-ever football meeting between these two programs.

Last Time Out: Maryland opened its season on the Big Ten Network, topping James Madison 52-7. The Terps rushed 50 times for 285 yards and five touchdowns, and completed 18 passes for 186 yards and two TDs. Maryland QB C.J. Brown rushed for 61 of those 285 yards, including three touchdowns, while Brandon Ross and Wes Brown split carries in the backfield. The Terrapins were a perfect 6-6 in the red zone, and con-verted half of their third down conversions. USF will have to stop Maryland’s three-pronged running attack to slow down the Terrapin offense Saturday.

Common Threads: Kofi Amichia and JaJuan Dulaney both played offensive line at McEachern High School in Powder Hills, Ga. Amba Etta-Tawo (WR) also played for McEachern.Hans Louis and Clavion Nelson both hail from Hollywood, Fla., as do Jake Wheeler (senior OL, American Heritage HS) and Clarence Murphy (senior LB, Hollywood Hills HS).

New Conference: Leaving the ACC after the 2013-14 season, Maryland joins Rutgers in the move to the Big 10 conference. The Terrapins return 97.5 percent of its offensive yards from 2013, ranked first in the FBS with 5,160 yards.

Dual Threat: Despite 50 rushing attempts in its season opener, Maryland has no reservations about throwing the football downfield. The Terrapins’ passing attack aver-aged 14.05 yards per completion in 2013, the 16th-best yards-per-completion rate in the nation. Quarterback C.J. Brown is at the head of this attack, and can beat teams with his feet as well as his arm. Brown had a hand in 25 touchdowns in 2013, and scored four in Maryland’s sea-son opener against James Madison (three rushing, one passing). Brown passed for 2,242 yards and ran for 576 more last season alone.

Sack Attack: Terrapin senior defensive lineman Andre Monroe leads the nation among returning FBS play-ers, averaging 0.66 sacks per game. At 5-11, 282 lbs, Monroe is undersized but agile, and will need to be accounted for Saturday.



NEW BULLS MAKE IMPACTIn the 2014 season opener, USF’s leading tackler (Jamie Byrd, 11), leading rusher (Marlon Mack, 275), leading re-ceiver (Rodney Adams, 3 for 67) and creator of the lone interception (Byrd) were all playing their first game in a USF uniform.

POWER RUN GAME EMERGESCoach Willie Taggart’s power run base offense struggled in season one with an offensive line inexperienced in the system and injuries to top runningback Marcus Show. The Bulls run game opened the 2014 season with a veteran and well schooled offensive line and a new offensive coordina-tor in Paul Wulff, but not knowing who its lead ball carrier would be:n In the season-opener USF recorded 294 rushing yards, 127 more than last season’s best of 167 vs. FAU. The Bulls total offense of 454 yards was the most under Coach Tag-gart and the most since the Bulls totaled 552 yards against Syracuse in 2012.n USF four TDs (all rushing) and 36 points both marked highs under Coach Taggart. The Bulls totaled just 11 TD in 2013 with highs of 3 TD and 26 points for a game.

BULLS SEE SIGNIFICANT STRENGTH/WEIGHT GAINSUSF has seen major strength gains during off-season train-ing under Director of Athletic Performance Irele Oderinde. n Notable examples of weight lifted include senior defen-sive end Todd Chandler squatting 700 pounds and redshirt freshman defensive tackle Deadrin Senat benching 475 in late July.n 18 returning Bulls have added 14 or more pounds of muscle. Among the most notable muscle mass gains that have showed up in weight gains: Player - current weight (gain from 2013):QB Mike White – 211 (+25); LB Nigel Harris – 220(+30); LB Tashon Whitehurst – 225 (+27) ; DB Lamar Robbins – 200 (+19); DT Bruce Hector – 296 (+21); DE Mike Love – 245 (+32); OL Kofi Amichia – 290 (+25)n Two returning Bulls defensive tackles projected to have a significant impact in 2014 have also greatly sculpted their bodies after their first season on campus. Sophomore DT Derrick Calloway has trimmed 43 pounds from his frame to come into 2014 at 6-2, 285. Redshirt freshman Deadrin Senat has trimmed 18 pounds to come in at 6-1, 300.n Bulls newcomers have also made some big strength and weight gains in just their first couple of months on campus. Some notables: Player - current weight (gain over an-nounced HS weight on signing day): LB Jimmy Bayes – 225 (+40); RB D’Ernest Johnson – 207 (+27); DE Vincent Jackson – 246 (+11); Tyre McCants – 211 (+11); CB Devin Abraham – 187 (+12); CB Tajee Fullwood – 209 (+34); DE Demetrius Hill - 270 (+15); LB Juwuan Brown – 230 (+20); WR Stanley Clerveaux – 196 (+11)

TAGGART TURN AROUNDHead Coach Willie Taggart has been here before. He took over a WKU program that had lost 20-straight games and posted a 2-10 mark in his first season as head coach. The following campaign, the Hilltoppers went 7-5 to post the big-gest turn-around in Sun Belt Conference history. WKU fol-lowed that up with a 7-6 mark in 2012 and WKU’s first-ever bowl game appearance. Taggart produced two consecutive winning seasons, including a 7-1 Sun Belt Conference finish in 2011, marking the largest one-year turnaround in conference history.

SCHEDULE NOTESn The Bulls first four games of 2014 will be played in the friendly confines of Raymond James Stadium and five of the first six. n USF has three “Big Five” conference opponents on its non-conference schedule making it one of the toughest in the nation. Only five other teams nationally will face as many during the non-conference portion of their schedule. USF will play two Big Ten teams (Wisconsin and Maryland) and one ACC team (N. C. State). Wisconsin is a consensus preseason Top 25 team by preseason publications.n USF will face six opponents that reached a bowl game in 2013. n USF will face only four of the 10 teams it lost to in 2013, and those four games are the last four of the season.n Of USF’s first eight opponents, the Bulls will face four for the first time ever, have not faced two in the previous five season and defeated the other two (conference opponents Cincinnati and UConn) in 2013. USF won’t face a team it lost to in 2013 until the ninth game of the season vs. Houston.n USF’s will face three teams predicted to finish in the top four in The American by preseason publications Athlon and Sporting News in the Bulls’ final three home games of 2014.n Florida heat: The Bulls’ home games against Maryland (Sept. 6) and North Carolina State (Sept. 13) both will kick off at 3:30 p.m., marking the first time in USF’s 18-season history it will have two home afternoon kickoffs in Septem-ber, a month with average high temperatures hovering around 90 degrees with high humidity. It equals the total number of September afternoon home kickoffs in USF’s previous 17 seasons. Last year’s Miami game and the 2007 North Carolina contest both began shortly after noon.

CLIETT TO ANCHOR DEFENSESenior linebacker Reshard Cliett returns from off-season shoulder surgery, returning to 100 percent in July, to be a veteran anchor for the Bulls’ defense. He is the top returning tackler having posted 56 stops and 7.0 TFL in 2013. The Georgia native has added 15 pounds of muscle to his frame to enter 2014 at 6-2, 235 pounds.

ANGRY BYRDJunior transfer DB Jamie Byrd, a native of nearby Dade City who earned NJCAA second team All-American and MFC first team All-Conference honors while playing at Iowa Western Community College in 2013, joined the Bulls as an early enrollee in January. Byrd quickly earned the nick-name “Angry Byrd” from his USF teammates, a take on the popular Angry Birds game and a reflection of his hard hitting relentless style that quickly installed him as a starting safety in the spring.n Byrd came out of the gate strong in his USF debut in the season opener vs. WCU recording his first interception as a Bull just over three minutes into the game. He went on to lead USF with 11 tackles (8 solo) and added a TFL and a pass break-up.

VETERAN O-LINE BULKS UPThe Bulls return all five players that started the major-ity of game on the offensive line in 2013 and add to that mix guard Thor Jozwiak, who started five games in 2012. Among the returning starters are three players, center Aus-tin Reiter, guard Brynar Gundmunddson and tackle Darrell Williams, that started every game and tackle Quinterrius Eatmon, who started 11. Three seniors (Eatmon, Reiter and Williams) enter 2014 with at least 17 career starts led by Eatmon with 35 games played and 34 career starts. n The five returning starts and Jozwiak come into the 2014 season at average weight of 311. They entered 2103 at an average of 297, a gain of more than 13 pounds of muscle per player over last year. n Among the biggest gainers is center Austin Reiter who played at 273 last season and enters 2014 at 296 (a 23-pound gain). Reiter has been named to the watch list for the Rimington Trophy for the second straight season. He has started every game the last two seasons and has missed just one offensive snap over that period.n Eatmon, Jozwiak, Reiter and Williams were all named to a preseason all-conference team by either Athlon or Phil Steele.

JOZWIAK RETURNSJunior guard Thor Jozwiak, who started five games as a redshirt freshman in 2012 but missed the entire 2013 sea-son with a heart condition that required surgery, has re-turned to full strength and added 21 pounds of muscle to enter 2014 at 6-4, 321-pounds. The outgoing team leader and nominee for the AFCA Good Works Team moved to the top of the depth chart at left guard in the spring and is ex-pected to make a major impact on the offensive line in 2014.

DEFENSE LOOKS TO CONTINUE TO SHINE UNDER BRESNAHANUSF’s defense will look to build on the tremendous gains achieved under first-year defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan in 2013. Bresnahan, an NFL defensive coordi-nator for eight seasons, brought an attacking, ball-hawking mentality that saw USF force 25 turnovers and 11 intercep-tions, nearly tripling the teams turnovers caused (9) and producing more than five times the interceptions (2) a year after ranking last in the FBS in interceptions. n USF scored three defensive touchdowns as well as a special teams TD off a blocked field goal and produced 57 points off turnovers a year after posting 12. n Ranked 11th in the FBS with 13 recovered fumbles and 12th with 7.6 TFL per game.n USF ranked No. 21 in the FBS in total defense allowing 350 yards per game.n USF experimented with a 3-4 defense during the spring as the Bulls look to replace five defense linemen from the 2013 two-deep.n USF returns five players from the 2013 two-deep in both the linebacking corp and the secondary.2014 SEASON:n The Bulls defense created two turnovers in the first four minutes of the season opener getting a fumble and an inter-ception on WCU’s first two possessions.

#DOSOMETHINGWillie Taggart coined the phrase “Do Something” for his team when he arrived on the USF campus and the avid twitter user (@CoachTaggart w/12.4K+ followers) has made it a popular hashtag among USF students. The phrase has become a mantra throughout the USF Athletic Department with athletes from many of the school’s 19 varsity sports repeating the phrase to Taggart when they see him in the Lee Roy Selmon Center, which houses the department’s coaches and athletes.

Reaves previ-ously coach quarterbacks at South Carolina, New Mexico and the IMG Academy, while Dugans was credited with turning out all-conference receivers for the Cardinals. Taggart also hired former Western Kentucky defensive tackle Irele Oderinde to lead the Bulls strength program. Oderinde played for Taggart at WKU and was previously helping to guide the strength program at West Virginia.

BULLS STATE RECRUITING PRESENCE GROWSUSF saw tremendous growth in attendance at numer-ous football camps during the summer, including satellite camps in Jacksonville, Miami, Ft. Myers and Panama City that drew record numbers and hundreds of players. Sev-enteen members of the Bulls 28-member 2014 signing class had previously attended a USF satellite camp. USF also had more than 400 players attend a One Day Camp at the end of July and 52 teams from 13 counties from across Florida compete in the Sling & Shoot seven-on-seven tournament held on the USF campus.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS USF posted record numbers in both Academic Progress Rate (APR) and academic all-conference nominees in coach Willie Taggart’s first season. USF posted an APR score of 973, improving for the fifth-straight season. The Bulls’ APR ranked third in The American as well as second in the state of Florida and 25th nationally among Division I-A football programs. Taggart’s Bulls recorded the program’s best APR score since reporting began and marked an improvement of 64 points since the 2007-08 season. For the first time in program history, USF Athletics had every one of its 18 evaluated teams earn a score of 950 or better. USF joined Rutgers as the only two Ameri-can Athletic Conference teams to have all teams post an APR of 950 or higher and was one of just 36 Division I-A football-playing schools to accomplish the feat. • USF Football also logged a record number of 23 aca-demic all-conference honorees in 2013, marking the sev-enth straight season in which the Bulls have increased their number of honorees.

CAPTAINS NAMEDBefore the conclusion of preseason camp, the USF players voted three teammates captains representing the offense, defense and special teams. Senior linebacker Reshard Cliett was voted captain of the defense while senior wide receiver Andre Davis was elected captain of the offense and junior place kicker Marvin Kloss was name the special teams cap-tain for the second straight season.

USF STUDENTS BRING THE NOISE TO RAY JAYn USF boasts one of the largest student sections in the country and the largest in the American Athletic Confer-ence with 12,501 seats permanently allocated to students and the ability to place as many at 16,000+ in the stadium. n USF students occupy the north endzone at Raymond James Stadium just below the iconic Buccaneers pirate ship.n The Beef Studs are the most passionate student support-ers who regularly occupy the first row and paint their bodies green and gold while donning bull horns and other colorful items.n USF implemented several new student initiatives under Director of Athletics Mark Harlan to reach out to USF Stu-dents. They can take advantage of the following:• Discounted student parking ($5) and a reserved lot for stu-dent tailgating• Bulls Blitz busses that provide free transportation from campus to the stadium.• A game week pep rally with the entire team, band, chear-leaders and Rocky held Fridays at noon at the Marshall Stu-dent Center on campus known as Marshall Mayhem.• A preseason event with Coach Taggart and the team called “The Huddle” in which students huddle with players and get a pep talk from the coach before enjoying tailgate food.n USF drew nearly 6,500 students to their 2014 season opener vs. Western Carolina on August 30.



Spencer also missed all but the first few minutes of the first game of the 2013 season with a separated shoulder that required surgery.n G Thor Jozwiak (shoulder) and WR Andre Davis (ster-num) both left the season opener with injuries and did not return. Both are being evaluated and are day-to-day for a return to competition.

DUVAL EARNS SCHOLARSHIP, BULLS WALK-ON CONTRIBUTIONSCoach Willie Taggart presented scholarships to senior walk-on receiver Jordan Duval at the end of preseason camp. Last season Taggart presented scholarships to two walk-ons during preseason camp, both of which went on to be starters for the Bulls. The first was given to sophomore punter Mattias Ciabatti (Tampa), a civil engineering major, who in his third year in the USF program earned the starting punting job and is a preseason All-Conference pick in 2014. The second was given to cornerback Brandon Salinas (Orlando) who was in his third season with the football program and fourth at USF. Salinas went on to start all 12 games in 2013.

LOCAL FLAVORThe USF roster is built on a bedrock of local Tampa Bay area talent. Of the Bulls 28 signees in the 2014 class ranked No. 1 in The American, 12 hailed from the Bay Area. The Bulls have 36 players on the roster that attended high school within an hour of Tampa Bay. Overall 90 of the 105 players on the USF roster hail from the state of Florida with the next closest state being Georgia with 8.
