We don't know what to "Bull- ive" anymore.

In a prime-time nationally televised game between two unbeaten teams in the Big East which had been hyped and touted as (8)Cincinnati's offense versus (21)USF's defense,only the Bearcat's offense showed up. I shouldn't say that the Bull's defense didn't show up at all , just not at key game changing moments of the game. In the first quarter after holding the Bearcats to a 37yd field goal, true freshman quarterback B.J. Daniels connected with WR Jessie Hester for a 28yd touchdown strike with 6:14 left in the first quarter to take a 7-3 lead. On the next USF possession Daniels threw an interception to Aaron Webster (Webster's 3rd int this season) which he returned 83 yds and set Cincinnati up on the Bulls three yard line.With a Tony Pike 3yd TD pass to Armon Binns The Bearcat's were on top once again and never looked back.

The USF bull's proved once again that they are an undisciplined football team racking up 12 penalties for a whopping 113yds with CB Jerome Murphy collecting three personal foul penalties all on his own with two penalties taking away good field position and possible points, and the other one setting up Cincinnati inside the 10yd line which led to a Bearcat touchdown. With Tony Pike leaving the game at the start of the second half with an injured left arm, and the Bulls down 17-10 I actually thought that USF had a good shot at Taking this game.Tony Pike would not return and on their first possession (after Pike's injury) his replacement Zach Collaros executed a Quarterback draw that went fo 75 yds and a touchdown.

THIS WAS THE BACK BREAKER TO USF'S DEFENSE:

You see every season The Bulls get off to a good start after playing NO ONE. The Florida state game looked big at the time, but everybody (who is not Mormon) is beating up on FSU week after week making that win not look as big as once thought.Every year USF players and fans get too full of themselves until after their first loss which seems to derail their season as evidence of two years ago when the Bulls moved up the rankings to #2 in the nation, only to be destroyed by Oregon in the Sun Bowl. Jim Leavitt is a good coach , but is not the right man to get them over the top and to a BCS Bowl.
