New Trends

Look for more blitzing from the outside linebackers, Tyrone McKenzie has rushed Brandon Cox twice tonight, but one resulted in a 15-yard roughing the passer penalty.

Chris Robinson was used in this role last season, but his injured ankle has kept him off the field against Elon in the season opener and the sophomore has yet to lineup tonight at Auburn.

Against Elon, the Bulls spent a majority of their time lining up in the nickel defensive package, with Jerome Murphy replacing linebacker Brouce Mompremier. Through the early part of Saturday's game, USF has been sticking with its traditional 4-3 defensive alignment.

Aston Samuels was the third down back on the Bulls last drive
