Some South Florida Bulls information
The South Florida Bulls are a Division I NCAA football program that plays its home games in Tampa, Florida. The team began playing in 1997, holding its first team meeting under a shade tree as the school had no proper football facilities on campus. They joined Conference USA in 2003 until becoming a member of the Big East in 2005. The Bulls received increased press coverage for their upsets of Top 25 ranked teams such as West Virginia, Louisville and Auburn. The 2007 football season marked their first ascent into the AP Poll, first placing at #23, rising to #18, jumping to #6 and jumping 4 more spots to #2. The Bulls’ high ranking was short lived, however, as they became one of several teams at the top of the polls to be upset by lower ranked or unranked teams that season.
The Bulls finished the 2007 regular season ranked #21 in the BCS standings and #25 in the AP poll and accepted the invitation to play in the 2007 Sun Bowl. Their starting quarterback for the 2007 season is sophomore Matt Grothe, who was awarded the Big East Rookie of the Year award in 2006.
