TAMPA — Well, for those not subscribing to ESPN 360, it hasn’t really been that pretty at Raymond James stadium. The Bulls have found enough flags on punt returns to last them the entire season, and dug themselves into a 20-7 deficit.
Three on one play. One before, one during and one after a punt return by Ean Randolph. The Webber International transfer had three punt returns, and the only one that wasn’t taken back was a 76-yard scamp for the score.
Strange things. The offense looks a little weak, while the play calling seems very uncreative, even by Rod Smith standards.
Quarterback Matt Grothe is the team’s leading rusher at 41 yards, then add that to his 58 he had last week, that gives him a huge lead above senior running back Walt Smith at 99 yards.
The Bulls botched their first series after halftime, and walk on punter Delbert Alverado had to punt it away, and by the way, Alverado has looked very solid in his replacement of scholarship punter Ilia Petrov.
That’s about it for now. I’ll try to add some left over notes I have after the game. On the other hand, the crowd size — especially in the student section — is quite large for the second week in a row. My prediction, probably about a thousand over last week’s 26 K and change.
