It was against a "very vanilla" defense that couldn't so much as tackle him, but Saturday was an impressive night for USF QB B.J. Daniels. The sophomore-to-be threw for 381 yards and five touchdowns in leading the "South Florida" team past the "Bulls" team 49-31 at Raymond James Stadium. "I really didn't want it to be this much of a passing fest," said first-year coach Skip Holtz, who set limitations on his defense to help limit injuries. "But I was really impressed with the job that B.J. Daniels did as a quarterback. We all know he's a great athlete and what he can do, but I think he's starting to do some good things from a mental standpoint." Four of Daniels' touchdowns went to senior WR Dontavia Bogan, who caught nine passes for 228 yards, including a 77-yarder down the sideline for the game's first touchdown. Said Holtz: "Bogan really stepped up and did some great things."

Redshirt freshman S JaQuez Jenkins, a graduate of Lakewood High in St. Petersburg, returned an interception for a score, and LB Mike Lanaris returned a fumble for one. LB DeDe Lattimore returned a fumble to the 10, setting up a Mo Plancher touchdown.
