In the early days of USF Football, the Bulls ran up against Johnson's offense twice when he ran the Georgia Southern program. The Bulls lost two heartbreaking games to the Eagles, 24-23 in 1997 and 28-23 in 1998.

Here are a few bits of trivia for week 2, starting with the game landing on what has been a happy day for USF over the years:

This game will be played on the anniversary of two of the greatest USF wins ever. On Sept. 8, 2001, USF beat Pittsburgh, 35-26, at Heinz Field. On Sept. 8, 2007, USF beat Auburn, 26-23, in overtime. There's one more USF win on Sept. 8, the 32-31 victory over Nevada in 2012. All in all, it's a pretty good precedent for our game this week.
  • The Bulls have won five of their last six games against Power Five opponents, including bowl wins over South Carolina and Texas Tech.
  • USF is 29-6 in its last 35 games.
  • Expect to see two great ground games. Both USF and Georgia Tech rushing offenses ranked in the top 10 nationally in each of the last three seasons. Air Force and Navy are the only other programs that can make that claim.
The Bulls are 17-3 in their last 20 games at Raymond James Stadium

Our Jackets will need to bring their A game.

Anyone who takes this game or this opponent lightly is fooling themselves. Good post. Go Jackets!
