Wesleyan). No. 19/17 Wisconsin is the highest ranked home-opening opponent ever for the Bulls and the highest ranked season opening opponent since USF won at No. 16 Notre Dame (23-20) to begin the 2011 season. A victory would mark the highest ranked foe defeated at home since No. 11/13 Kansas (37-34) in 2008. USF downed No. 5 West Virginia (21-13) in 2007 for the last top-10 foe beaten and highest ranked ever beaten at home.n SEASON OPENERS: USF has won five straight season openers, with the last loss coming in 2013 to McNeese State in then head coach Willie Taggart’s inaugural campaign.

The Bulls went 7-0 to open the 2017 and 2018 seasons, setting a program record for wins to begin a season.n VS THE POWER 6 & BIG TEN: USF has won five straight games vs. non-con Power 6 opponents, including wins vs. Georgia Tech and at Illinois last year, and claimed victory in seven of its last eight such meetings. USF is 2-5 all-time vs. Big Ten teams, downing Illinios in 2017 (home, 47-23) and 2018 (away, 25-19). The Bulls have also faced Maryland (L, 24-17; L, 35-17), Michigan State (L, 21-6), Penn State (L, 23-13) and Wisconsin (L, 27-10).n 150th: The two programs provide a stark contrast, with Wisconsin have played nearly 1,000 more games in it his-tory than USF, as college football begins its 150th anniversary season. (See Page 3).n RECORD WHEN: The Bulls are 97-61 (61%) in night games and have won 12 of their last 15, 64-29 (69%) in hot games (80+) and 15-32 vs. ranked teams (11-14 at home), having lost the last three.

EXPLOSIVE BULLS RETURNUSF’s leaders in explosive plays (20-plus yards) in rushing, receiving and passing in 2018 all return.n Senior Jordan Cronkrite led USF with 10 explosive plays rushing last season, including five runs of 60-plus yards, topped by touchdown runs of 80, 77 and 76 yards. Sophomore Johnny Ford ranked second with seven ex-plosive runs in 2018, including a 78-yarder, and added three explosive receiving plays.n Sophomore Randall St. Felix led USF with 14 explo-sive plays receiving, including five in his Gasparilla Bowl record 165-yard receiving day that included TD catches of 38 and 33 yards. n Senior quarterback Blake Barnett accounted for 33 ex-plosive plays passing in 2018, including a 75-yard TD pass to St. Felix.

EXPERIENCED OFFENSIVE LINEUSF will return all five offensive line starters and tight end from the Bulls’ Gasparilla Bowl appearance. Four players that started at least seven games in 2018 return on the line, led by 2017 second-team all-conference right tackle Marcus Norman (13), guard William Atterbury (13), left guard Demetris Harris (11) and center Brad Cecil (7). It marks the most returning starters on the offensive line since the Bulls returned five in 2014 and the third straight year USF has returned at least three starters. Donovan Jen-nings, who started at left tackle in the bowl game, made four starts last year.n Norman has started 34 straight games at right tackle, while Atterbury has started 23 straight at right guard.

DEFENSIVE LINE MATURESUSF had two sophomores and two true freshmen see extensive action on the D-line last season. They will now be part of six defensive linemen that return that played in eight or more games last year and four that have logged 22 or more career games. The group is led by senior de-fensive ends Kirk Livingstone (38 games, 25 starts) and Greg Reaves (33 games, 25 starts) who have both tallied more than 100 tackles and 21 TFL on their career. Juniors Kevin Kegler (24 games, 11 starts) and Kelvin Pinkney (22 games, 4 starts) and sophomores Tyrone Barber (11 games, 1 start) and Rashawn Yates (8 games, 2 starts) round out the group that will form the base of a Bulls’ D-line that looks to enter 2019 bigger and more experienced.

20TH FBS SEASON;FASTEST TO 150 WINSUSF enters its 20th season playing FBS football in 2019 and its 23rd overall after beginning play in 1997. With a victory over ECU last season, the Bulls became the fast-est collegiate program in state of Florida history to reach 150 wins. USF owns a 133-98 record since beginning FBS play and has made 10 bowl game appearances (going 6-4). USF reached the No. 2 ranking in the AP poll in Week 7 of the 2007 season, becoming the fastest program to go from inception to a top five national ranking in modern college football history. The Bull have since reached a Top 25 rank-ing in seven seasons, including the last three straight, and have been ranked a total of 49 weeks, including 12 weeks in the top 15. USF has played in a bowl game in four straight seasons and in 10 of the last 14. The Bulls have won eight or more games in 10 FBS seasons and eclipsed nine wins five times.

NOTABLESPLAYERS TO WATCH: OFFENSE

BARNETT RETURNS STRONG AFTER INJURY-HAMPERED END TO 2018After missing significant practice time and two of the Bulls’ last four games of the 2018 season due to injuries, quarterback Blake Barnett returns healthy and having added 30 pounds to his now 275-pound bench press max. He will be participating in his first spring practice at USF after arriving on campus in May last year.n Prior to injuries causing him to miss the Bulls’ game at Cincinnati (Nov. 10), Barnett had started the first nine games and passed for 2,400 yards. He ranked 16th nationally (3rd in AAC) at that point, passing for 267.2 ypg, which was on pace to shatter the USF season passing record (2,911) with more than 3,400 passing yards. He returned to start the next week at Temple (passing for 82 yards), but missed two of the Bulls’ final four games and did not start the Gasparilla Bowl, but entered in the first quarter and passed for 212 yards and a TD in the game. n He tallied just 310 passing yards and one TD in the Bulls’ final four games of 2018. Barnett passed for 1,099 yards and 8 TD in the first four games of 2018, including 411 yards and 2 TD at Illinois. He averaged 267.2 ypg passing through nine games. In the final four games of 2018, with Barnett missing two, USF passed for 695 yards (155.2 ypg) and 5 TD. n Despite the missed time, Barnett’s nine 200-yard passing games in 2018 were just one shy of the USF season record of 10 set by Marquel Blackwell in 2001.

RANDALL ST. FELIX • 6-2 • 211 • SO



PLAY FAST, SCORE FASTEROffensive coordinator Kerwin Bell has brought the mantra “play fast, score faster” to the Bulls in his first season lead-ing the offense. The former SEC Player of the Year quarter-back (1984) at Florida comes to USF after 12 seasons as a successful head coach, leading programs at Valdosta State (2016-18) and Jacksonville University (2007-15) and a 14-year playing career in professional football. n Charlie Strong and Bell were first part of the same pro-gram during the 1983-84 seasons at Florida, where Strong was serving in his first coaching position as a graduate as-sistant and Bell was a walk-on quarterback.n The 2018 Don Hansen NCAA Division II Co-Coach of the Year, Bell’s 2018 offense led the nation in scoring (52.0 ppg) and was fourth in total offense (523.9 ypg).The Blazers scored 728 points, the most in NCAA Division II history, as they posted 7,334 yards (3,676 rushing/3,658 passing) and 7.9 yards per play.

PLAYMAKERS RETURNThe Bulls return their leading passer, top three rushers, and two of their top three receivers (including their yardage leader) from 2018. n The Bulls return 2,281 rushing yards (90.6% of their 2018 total, 2,710 passing yards (85.4% of 2018) and 1,751 receiving yards (55% of 2018). n Players that accounted for 25 of the Bulls’ 26 rushing TD, 12 of 17 passing TD, and 8 of 17 receiving TD return.

WILCOX AMONG NATION’S TOP TIGHT ENDSA two-time all-conference selection (1st team in 2018) and Mackey Award candidate, senior Mitchell Wilcox is among the best tight ends in the nation and spurned an opportunity to enter the 2019 NFL Draft to add to a stel-lar career that has him poised to own every USF tight end record. His 43 catches and 540 yards set season marks last year and led The American. He owns the career yardage record (976) and with 72 receptions needs just 4 to break the career mark of 75 held by Sean Price and own all USF career and season TE records. He enters 2019 needing just 24 yards to become the program’s 14th 1,000-yard career receiver (4th to reach in last 4 years) and 28 catches to be the 11th to post 100 career receptions in USF history. With 330 yards and 32 receptions he would move among the top 10 in receiving yards and receptions in USF history.

REAVES RETURNS TO THE EDGESenior Greg Reaves, a former walk-on, started the last seven games of 2018 at middle linebacker due to injuries and depth at linebacker. He excelled, posting 9.4 tackles per game during the stretch to finish second on the team with 89 tackles. For 2019, the 6-2, 248-pounder will return to his edge position as a defensive end/outside linebacker, a position from which he led USF with 14.0 TFL in 2017. He has started the last 25 straight games for the Bulls.

GAME 1: USF 34, ELON 14RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM • TAMPASEPT. 1, 2018 • 6 P.M. • ESPN3USF 1-0 • ELON 0-1TAMPA - Blake Barnett turned in the top scoring debut by a USF quarterback, throwing for three touchdowns and 305 yards and finding the end zone once with his feet in the Bulls’ 34-14 win over Elon in Saturday’s season opener.

Barnett threw all three of his TD passes in the first half, finishing 24 of 34 through the air in less than three quarters of action in front of a crowd of 31,217 at Raymond James Stadium. USF posted 515 yards of offense, its third straight game with 500-plus yards and the seventh game accomplishing the feat in the past 13 outings under coordinator Sterlin Gilbert. Barnett started the second half with a 2-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-goal to post his fourth score, a new USF record for a QB in his debut, as the Bulls rolled to a 31-0 advantage.

Defensively, Tampa’s own Vincent Jackson and Mike Hampton intercepted passes while the Bulls racked up 12 tackles for loss and limited Elon to 42 passing yards. Seniors Jaymon Thomas and Khalid McGee (Miami) both set new career highs with 11 tackles apiece. Redshirt freshman safety Bentlee Sanders (Tampa) started and finished with 10 tackles.

KEY NOTESn USF improved to 17-5 all-time in season openers and won its fifth straight season opener. The Bulls are now 15-1 in season openers played at home. n USF added to its most successful run in program history (30-9 since 2015). The Bulls are 29-6 in the past 35 games.

Quotable:“It’s good for his confidence and good for the whole team. Tonight is just a start.”

- Head coach Charlie Strong on the performance of Blake Barnett and the Bulls

GAME 2: USF 49, GEORGIA TECH 38RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM • TAMPASEPT. 8, 2018 • NOON • ABC/ESPN2USF 2-1 • GEORGIA TECH 1-1TAMPA - USF used a 21-point outburst to rally back from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter and post a 49-38 victory over ACC foe Georgia Tech Saturday before a nationally televised crowd of 34,182 at Raymond James Stadium.

Blake Barnett led the comeback with two fourth-quarter rushing touchdowns and used his feet to produce the go-ahead score from 19 yards out with 5:08 to play. Barnett helped seal the victory with a 5-yard touchdown run with just over two minutes remaining and his second straight four-score game included a pair of touchdown passes.

USF (2-0) secured its fourth straight victory over a Power Five conference foe after freshman Terrence Horne Jr. tied an NCAA game record and set new USF and American Athletic Conference marks with two kickoff returns for touchdowns on consecutive returns of 98 and 97 yards. Horne set a new USF game record with 264 kickoff return yards. He added his third score of the day when his 3-yard touchdown reception ignited the Bulls’ rally early in the fourth quarter.

Linebacker Nico Sawtelle also played a pivotal role in the comeback, recovering a fumble at the USF 12 with the Bulls trailing, 38-35, and intercepting a pass late in the game to protect a 42-38 lead.

KEY NOTESn Horne tied an NCAA record and set USF and American Conference marks with two touchdown returns on kickoffs (98 and 97 yards). His 264 yards on kickoff returns set a new USF and conference records.n Barnett accounted for 4 TD on the day, passing for 207 yards and 2 TD and running for 86 yards and 2 TD.n Tyre McCants posted the third 100-yard receiving game of his career, grabbing a career-best 10 catches for 104 yards.n The Bulls collected three turnovers, getting interceptions from Ronnie Hoggins and Nico Sawtelle and a fumble recovery from Sawtelle.

QUOTABLE:“This is a special team. For us to come together and play as well as we played against a really good football team, and a very unique football team — that’s what was special about this game today.”- Head coach Charlie Strong

GAME 3: USF 25, ILLINOIS 19SOLDIER FIELD • CHICAGOSEPT. 15, 2018 • 3:30 P.M. • BIG TEN NETWORKUSF 3-0 • ILLINOIS 2-1CHICAGO – USF erased a 12-point fourth quarter deficit with 18 unanswered points and extended its winning streak against Power Five foes to five straight with a 25-19 victory over Illinois at Soldier Field.

Darnell Salomon completed the comeback with a 50-yard touchdown catch on a pass from Blake Barnett with 2:24 remaining after starting the fourth quarter with a 14-yard touchdown reception. USF’s defense came up huge with three sacks on the final drive of the game and didn’t allow a touchdown for the final 55 minutes.

Barnett threw both his touchdown passes to Salomon in the fourth quarter, completing 23 of 40 attempts for 411 yards, good for the second-best performance in the USF single-game record book. Salomon finished with five catches for 95 yards as the Bulls came from behind in the fourth quarter for the second straight week.

KEY NOTESn Mitchell Wilcox set a new USF game record for a tight end with eight catches for 109 yards, both career highs.n Jordan Cronkrite rushed for a career-high 136 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries to help the Bulls register their fourth 600-plus yard outing under offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert.nThree receivers eclipsed 95 yards and two posted 100-yard days. Randall St. Felix had his second 100-yard game of the year with six catches for 120. n Khalid McGee led USF with a career-best 14 tackles while Nico Sawtelle added 13 and a team best 2.0 TFL and a sack.n USF posted 626 yards, outgaining Illinois (380) by 246 yards and posting 10 more first downs (31-21).

USF (4-0, 1-0) saw ECU, which had the previous week off due to Hurricane Florence, take a 7-0 lead on its first drive. USF led 13-10 at halftime, but needed junior Jordan Cronkrite to break a 13-13 tie with a career long 80-yard touchdown run with 10:13 remaining. Cronkrite posted his second straight 100-yard rushing game with 129 yards on 15 carries (8.6 ypc).

Redshirt freshman safety Nick Roberts sealed the victory by intercepting his first career pass at the ECU 44-yard line with two minutes remaining. USF’s defense pitched a shutout in the fourth quarter for the second straight game. The Bulls offense was held to 296 yards, the lowest total under offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert. USF gave up just three points and 196 yards in the second half.

KEY NOTESn USF scored at least 20 points in 34 straight games, the longest streak in the nation.n Blake Barnett posted his team-leading fourth rushing touchdown of the season (fourth of his career) in the first quarter. Bar-nett completed 12 of 20 passes for 181 yards and completed his fifth 50-plus yard pass of the season.n USF opened a season 4-0 for the second straight season and the seventh time in program history.n USF won its fourth straight conference opener and improved to 5-1 in AAC openers and 10-6 in conference openers overall.

GAME 5: USF 58, UMASS 42MCGUIRK ALUMNI STADIUM • AMHERST, MASS.OCT. 6, 2018 • 3:30 P.M. • WTTA-TV GREAT 38USF 5-0 • UMASS 2-5AMHERST, Mass. – Explosive Jordan Cronkrite shattered the USF and American Athletic Conference single-game rushing records with 302 yards, including 183 yards on three long touchdown runs, in the 5-0 Bulls’ 58-42 victory at UMass on Saturday.

Cronkrite averaged 13.1 yards on 23 carries with touchdown runs of 77, 76 and 30 yards out in his third straight game rushing for at least 100 yards. Cronkrite broke the previous USF game rushing record of 275 yards, a feat accomplished by Marlon Mack (2014) and Andre Hall (2004), and set a new American Athletic Conference mark. Cronkrite’s 302 rushing yards rank the junior from Miami fourth on the all-time game chart for rushers from state of Florida FBS schools.

USF improved to 5-0 for the second straight season after setting a season high with 365 rushing yards (ninth-best in program history) and matching the school scoring record with 28 points in the third quarter. The Bulls also matched the program’s record of 34 wins over a four-year period. USF reached the mark in just 43 games (79.0% winning percentage), bettering the 52 (65.0% winning percentage) it took to reach the mark between 2006-09 by nine games.

Johnny Ford added to USF’s productive outing with nine rushes for a career-high 77 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Blake Bar-nett completed 17 of 24 passes for 209 yards and started the scoring with a 72-yard touchdown pass to Tyre McCants.

USF racked up a season-high five takeaways (4 fumble recoveries, 1 INT). Vincent Davis was stellar on special teams with two forced fumbles on kickoffs and a 12-yard touchdown return on the second.

KEY NOTESn USF increased its nation-leading streak of 20-plus point games to 35 straight outings. USF has averaged 41.9 points in its past 14 games away from Tampa.n USF improved to 12-2 in games away from Tampa in the last three seasons and its victory over UMass marked the program’s six straight win vs. non-conference foes. n USF opened a season 5-0 for the second straight season and the sixth time in program history. The Bulls’ best start to a season is 7-0 posted last year.

QUOTABLE“It was a great job by the offensive line. I was just using my God-given skills and just doing what I could to help my team win.”- Jordan Cronkrite on his record-breaking rushing performance.

GAME 6: NO. 23 USF 25, TULSA 24SKELLY FIELD AT H.A. CHAPMAN STADIUM • TULSA, OKLA.OCT. 12, 2018 • 7 P.M. • ESPNUSF 6-0, 2-0 • TULSA 1-5, 0-3TULSA, Okla. - No. 23 USF rallied back from a 14-point fourth quarter deficit and defeated Tulsa, 25-24, thanks to a 22-yard field goal by Coby Weiss with two seconds remaining Friday night.

USF stormed back with 15 unanswered points and used a thrilling seven-play, 52-yard scoring drive in the final minute to improve to 6-0 for the second straight season. Weiss’ clutch kick was set up by a 32-yard catch by Tyre McCants that got the Bulls down to the Tulsa 5 before they stopped the clock with a spike.

Blake Barnett led the fourth-quarter comeback with two touchdown runs down the stretch and delivered with his arm late. Barnett completed consecutive passes to Mitchell Wilcox for a total of 28 yards on the game-winning drive before his pivotal 32-yard strike to McCants. Wilcox finished with five receptions for 95 yards while McCants covered 91 yards on a game-high eight catches.

Jordan Cronkrite extended his 100-yard rushing game streak to four with 151 yards on 23 carries during a performance that included a 66-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Cronkrite has rushed for 582 yards in the past three games (second-best USF total in three straight games) and he’s well on his way to posting a 1,000-yard season with 757 yards in just five games.

KEY NOTESn USF put together its largest fourth-quarter comeback since rallying from 15 points down at Nevada in 2012. The Bulls became bowl eligible for the fourth straight season and they set a program record for wins across a four-season period (35-9, 79.5% winning percentage).n Weiss made USF’s first game-winning field goal since Marvin Kloss’ 44-yard field goal with 4:03 to play in a 13-10 win at UConn in 2013. The last game-winning kick before that was made by Maikon Bonani on the final play of overtime from 37 yards out in a 24-21 win at Louisville on Nov. 12, 2010.

QUOTABLE“The thing about these guys is they just don’t quit. We were down 14 with less than 10 minutes to go in the game and we get in there and get us a drive put together. If there is a bigger player than Wilcox and McCants, I’d love to see them. Those guys came down with some big catches and Blake made the throws at the right time. I’m just so happy and so proud of this team and the way they battled.”- Head coach Charlie Strong

GAME 7: NO. 21/20 USF 38, UCONN 30RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM • TAMPAOCT. 20, 2018 • 7 P.M. • CBS SPORTS NETWORKUCONN 1-6, 0-4 • USF 7-0, 3-0TAMPA – Johnny Ford and Jordan Cronkrite both rushed for 100-plus yards as No. 21/20 USF posted the program’s second straight 7-0 start to a season with a 38-30 victory over UConn before a homecoming crowd of 41,127 at Raymond James Stadium.

One of just five remaining unbeaten teams in FBS football, USF (7-0, 3-0 in The American) seized the momentum with a 17-point third quarter and totaled 611 yards on the way to matching the program’s best-ever start to a season. After heading into halftime tied at 7-7, USF registered 199 of its 346 total rushing yards during a 31-point outburst in the second half.

USF finished with two 100-yard rushers for the 15th time in program history. Ford scored three times on seven carries and finished with 164 yards in his first career 100-yard game. The freshman from Miami set a USF game record (minimum five carries) with 23.4 yards per attempt and now owns USF’s longest non-scoring run after breaking off a 78-yarder in the third quarter.

Cronkrite extended his 100-yard rushing streak to five games with 103 yards on 16 carries. The junior’s five straight 100-yard rushing games match the program record also held by Quinton Flowers (2016) and Marlon Mack (2015).

Blake Barnett rushed for 78 yards on 10 carries and scored his team-leading seventh touchdown on the ground from 20 yards out during USF’s 17-point third quarter. Barnett also shook off two early interceptions to complete 20 of 28 passes for 265 yards and a touchdown.

KEY NOTESn USF equaled the best start in program history, improving to 7-0 for the second straight year and second time in program history.n USF scored at least 20 points for the 37th straight game, the longest streak in the nation. USF has scored at least 30 points in 31 of its past 35 games dating back to the 2015 seasonn USF won for the 20th time in its last 23 games in Raymond James Stadium with 15 wins coming by two touchdowns or more. USF has averaged 40.2 points per game at home during that period.

GAME 8: HOUSTON 57, NO. 21/20 USF 36TDECU STADIUM • HOUSTONOCT. 27, 2018 • 3:30 P.M. • ABCUSF 7-1, 3-1 • HOUSTON 7-1, 4-0HOUSTON - Freshman Johnny Ford registered his second straight 100-yard rushing game as No. 21/20 USF’s undefeated run came to an end with a 57-36 loss at Houston on Saturday. USF (7-1, 3-1 in AAC) entered the weekend as one of five remaining unbeaten FBS teams and fell for the first time since Nov. 24, 2017.

Ford rushed for 106 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries to help the Bulls run for at least 200 yards for the sixth time this season. Ford found the end zone twice during USF’s 21-point second quarter that started with a 1-yard touchdown run by Jordan Cronkrite. Seeking his sixth straight 100-yard game, Cronkrite finished with 73 rushing yards, 67 yards shy of USF’s ninth 1,000-yard season.

Quarterback Blake Barnett completed 26 of 39 passes for 263 yards. Barnett’s 39-yard touchdown pass to Deangelo Antoine made it a one-score game late in the third quarter, but the Bulls couldn’t put together their fourth double-digit fourth quarter comeback of the season.

Defensively, Mekhi LaPointe and Jaymon Thomas intercepted passes. Greg Reaves led USF with a career-high 12 tackles in his second straight start at middle linebacker. Senior linebacker Khalid McGee finished with 11 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss and a sack in his third double-digit tackle effort of the season.

KEY NOTESn USF was looking to extend the program’s best-ever start to a season. The Bulls started the past two seasons at 7-0 and entered Saturday’s game as one of only five remaining FBS teams.n USF scored at least 20 points in its 38th straight game, the longest streak in the nation. USF has scored at least 30 points in 32 of its past 36 games dating back to the 2015 season.

QUOTABLE“We just didn’t play well and we didn’t tackle, giving up touchdown throws. You just can’t play like that and go win in an environment like this.” - Head coach Charlie Strong

GAME 10: NO. 25/23 CINCINNATI 35, USF 23NIPPERT STADIUM • CINCINNATINOV. 10, 2018 • 7 P.M. • ESPNUUSF 7-3, 3-3 • CINCINNATI 9-1, 5-1 CINCINNATI - Facing freezing temperatures and forced to go without its starting quarterback, the Bulls took a 16-14 lead into halftime before falling at No. 25/23 Cincinnati, 35-23, Saturday night. USF dropped three straight conference games for the first time since 2013 after Cincinnati seized the momentum with a 21-point third quarter.

Sophomore quarterback Chris Oladokun made his first career start in place of Blake Barnett, who suffered a shoulder injury in last week’s game against Tulane. Oladokun threw a 72-yard touchdown pass to Ryeshene Bronson on his first attempt to give USF an early lead. Olado-kun added a 25-touchdown pass to Tyre McCants in the third quarter and finished 10 of 22 through the air for 165 yards with no interceptions.

Brett Kean also saw action at QB, throwing a 38-yard touchdown pass to Mitchell Wilcox to help give the Bulls a 16-14 lead they took into halftime. Kean completed four of 10 passes for 67 yards with no turnovers in his first appearance since the season opener.

Wilcox became USF’s new career and season receiving yards leader and season receptions leader for a tight end, finishing with a team-high seven catches for 90 yards and a touchdown. The Mackey Award candidate has racked up a record 468 receiving yards and 35 catches this season and improved his career receiving yards to a record total of 904 after missing last week’s game with an injury.

KEY NOTESn USF lost three straight games for the first time since early in the 2015 season. USF lost three straight conference games for the first time since 2013.n The temperature at kickoff was 28 degrees, marking the lowest in program history and just the seventh game in USF history with a kickoff below 40 degrees. The previous lowest temperature a USF game had kicked off at was 29 degrees at West Virginia in 2008. USF lost that game, 13-7.

QUOTABLE“The first half we played well, then the second half we come out and give up three touchdowns in the third quarter. We just were never able to put it together and sustain drives. We only scored one touchdown (in the second half). We’ve got to be able to play for 60 minutes and that’s what we didn’t do.” - Head coach Charlie Strong

GAME 11: TEMPLE 27, USF 17LINCOLN FINANCIAL FIELD • PHILADELPHIANOV. 17, 2018 • NOON • ESPNEWSUSF 7-4, 3-4 • TEMPLE 7-4, 6-1PHILADELPHIA - USF’s defense came out locked-in and the Bulls seized a 17-0 halftime lead before Temple stormed back with 27 unanswered points as the Owls posted a 27-17 victory Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field.

USF has lost four straight games for the first time since dropping six straight at the end of the 2013 season. The Bulls’ defense allowed only 73 rushing yards (337 total yards) and 13 points against a potent Owls offense that averaged 44.5 points and 603.5 yards in its previous two games.

Temple scored touchdowns on special teams and defense, taking the lead on a 73-yard punt return by Isaiah Wright with 10:05 to play. Star back Ryquell Armstead was held to 64 rushing yards on 26 attempts, well under his 122.2 ypg average, a week after running for 210 yards and six touchdowns against Houston.

Jordan Cronkrite led USF’s ground attack with 17 attempts for 83 yards and two touchdowns, becoming the fifth player in program history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season. Both of Cronkrite’s rushing touchdowns came during the Bulls’ 17-0 run in the opening half.

Linebacker Khalid McGee led the way defensively with a game-high 11 tackles while Jaymon Thomas and Ronnie Hoggins finished with seven stops apiece. Hoggins posted his second interception of the season in the third quarter. Chris Barr’s fumble recovery on a muffed punt late in the first quarter helped USF take a 10-0 lead.

KEY NOTESn USF held an opponent scoreless in the first half for the first time since the season opener against Elon.n The temperature at kickoff was 42 degrees, marking the ninth game in USF history with a kickoff below 50 degrees. USF is now 2-7 in games in which the temperature is below 50 degrees at kickoff.

QUOTABLE“You had the ball and three opportunities in the third quarter on the plus side and we got nothing out of it. We’ve got to be able to score points there. We had two turnovers and then we gave the ball up on downs. You can’t let that happen, especially when you’re on the road.”- Head coach Charlie Strong

GAME 12: NO. 8/9 UCF 38, USF 10RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM • TAMPANOV. 23, 2018 • 4:15 P.M. • ESPNUCF 10-0, 8-0 • USF 7-5, 3-5TAMPA – Freshman Johnny Ford rushed for 120 yards and his 34-yard touchdown reception helped make it a seven-point game late in the third quarter before the Bulls fell to No. 8/9 UCF, 38-10, in front of the second-largest War on I-4 crowd ever of 57,626 at Raymond James Stadium.

Ford averaged 7.5 yards on 16 carries in his third 100-yard rushing game of the season. His first career touchdown reception came on a pass by sophomore starter Chris Oladokun with 1:15 left in the third quarter before UCF responded with 21 straight points. Starting for the second time in place of injured Blake Barnett, Oladokun completed seven of 12 passes for 77 yards and opened the game’s first drive with a 22-yard run. Junior Brett Kean also saw action, completing eight of 17 attempts for 36 yards.

Defensively, USF stayed within striking distance most of the way by forcing six punts, including four in the second half. Linebacker Khalid McGee made a game-high 13 tackles, becoming the 15th player in program history to record 100 stops in a season, after he and 17 other seniors were honored in their final regular season game at Raymond James Stadium.

KEY NOTESn USF saw its War on I-4 series lead trimmed to 6-4 as UCF claimed its second straight win in the series.n The attendance total of 57,626 for the 10th playing of the War on I-4 marked the second-largest crowd in the game’s history. The largest was a crowd of 65,948 that witnessed No. 5 ranked USF down UCF, 64-12, in Raymond James Stadium in 2007 (the Bulls would ascend to the No. 2 ranking the following week). A crowd of 47,129 (third largest) witnessed the game last year in Orlando.

QUOTABLE“You look at that crowd tonight, it was a great crowd. You just hate that we didn’t come out and play well.”- Head coach Charlie Strong

GAME 13: MARSHALL 38, USF 20GASPARILLA BOWL • RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM • TAMPADEC. 20, 2018 • 8 P.M. • ESPNMARSHALL 9-4 • USF 7-6TAMPA – Redshirt freshman Randall St. Felix capped off his breakout first season as a Bull by setting USF postseason and Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl records with a career-high 165 receiving yards in a 38-20 loss to Marshall on Thursday night at Raymond James Stadium.

St. Felix set a career high with two touchdown receptions in the fourth straight bowl game trip for USF and his second score helped drop an 18-point halftime deficit down to 11 late in the third quarter. St. Felix’s first touchdown came on a 38-yard pass from senior receiver Tyre McCants in the opening quarter before USF fell short in its attempt of completing the program’s fourth double-digit fourth quarter comeback of the season.

USF got another notable performance from junior Greg Reaves, who matched the Gasparilla Bowl record and set a new USF postseason milestone with a career-high 14 tackles (13 solo). The defensive end who moved to linebacker in the second half of the season due to injuries in the Bulls’ lineup finished with 89 tackles on the year, second only to fellow linebacker Khalid McGee’s 111.

Junior quarterback Blake Barnett returned to action after missing the regular season finale with an injury, completing 11 of 23 passes for 212 yards and a touchdown. USF finished the season with a school record 3,173 passing yards.

KEY NOTESn The Bulls made their four straight bowl appearance and were seeking their third consecutive postseason win.n Sophomore DB Mike Hampton posted one pass breakup in the game to finish second on the USF season charts with 16. Hampton had 18 passes defended on the year, one off the USF season record of 19 set by Bernard Brown in 1999.
