WOFFORD AT SOUTH FLORIDA
KICKOFF: 7 p.m.; Raymond James Stadium, Tampa
TV/RADIO: BHSN, Ch. 47/970 WFLA
USF INJURIES: RB Jamar Taylor (knee), RB Mike Ford (suspension) TE Kenneth Luberice (hip) and TE Jeff Hawkins (hamstring) are out; WR Jessie Hester (ankle) and WR A.J. Love (knee) are probable.
NEED TO KNOW: Bulls QB Matt Grothe needs 102 yards to break Marquel Blackwell's school record for total offense (10,343) and 288 yards to break the Big East record held by West Virginia's Pat White (10,529). However, freshman QB B.J. Daniels also is expected to play, USF coach Jim Leavitt said. ... Since a 42-23 loss to Hofstra in 1999, the Bulls have won 18 consecutive games against Division I-AA opponents. ... The Bulls have eight true freshmen or junior-college transfers among their two-deep. WR Sterling Griffin and CB Kayvon Webster could become the first true freshmen to start in a season opener since WR S.J. Green in 2003. ... USF will honor former RB Keeley Dorsey, who died in 2007, by wearing his No. 10 each game. DT Aaron Harris will wear No. 10 tonight. ... The Terriers, who are ranked No. 10 in I-AA, have played five previous times in Tampa - four against the University of Tampa and also against Florida State in the 1950 Cigar Bowl. ... A pregame moment of silence will be held for former USF TE Will Bleakley and two former NFL players, who died earlier this year in a boating accident.
