Time and time again our opponents would get inside the 20, and our defense would make them settle for a field goal or cause a turnover. You could see from the beginning that the team was adopting a bend but don't break mentality this season. What has Snyder brought to the table as a noted defensive coordinator (Ohio State) and head football coach (Marshall)? I could not help but notice the name Mark Snyder on South Florida's staff (defensive coordinator). We could have easily gone 11-1 or 3-9 if the breaks went one way or another.

This season in particular was trying on my nerves. Beating Miami was just the icing on the cake. This was the least talented team we've had since we've moved up to the Big East, and to compete the way we did was amazing and a testament to our players and the coaching staff. Could this season have easily been much better/much worse for the Bulls?Д§-5 was right around what we expected this season. How would you rate the season so far for USF, particularly as a transition season? We see some positive wins (particularly against Miami) but also see the 3-4 conference record. The fact that teams had to adjust to what we did instead of the other way around was the biggest change, and I'm happy that its for the better. This was reason why we always went on a 3 or 4 game losing streak in October and November. This was great for our non-conference games against teams like Auburn and Florida State, but when we got into conference play, everyone knew what we were going to before we even did it. Jim wouldn't stray to far from the basic offense and defense from week to week. The biggest difference between the two regimes is in game planning. Coach Leavitt did a fantastic job building this program up from scratch, and if he didn't allegedly strike Joel Miller, he would probably be coaching USF for the next decade at least. Voodoo Five: With where the program is right now, I think Skip Holtz is the man for the job. How does Holtz compare to Leavitt and who do you prefer as South Florida's head football coach? STS: As everyone knows, this is Skip Holtz's first season at USF and he followed the successful Jim Leavitt as the Bull's coach. I encourage you to visit their site for all things USF. They were kind enough to answer a couple questions that we had regarding the South Florida football program, the school name, and coaching situation. We caught up with the guys over at Voodoo Five as they prepared for their bowl junket from Tampa to Charlotte.
