Spring Game Set for April 14
TAMPA, FEB. 6, 2018 – Coming off 21 wins in the last two seasons and a program-record run of 20 straight appearances in the top 25 polls, the USF football team will return to the field for the annual USF Spring Game on Saturday, April 14.
For the fifth straight year, the Spring Game, which has drawn capacity crowds the past three seasons, will be played at Corbett Stadium on the USF campus and will be free to the public. The Spring Game will kick off at 2 p.m. and will be broadcast live on the USF Radio Network (820 AM in Tampa/Iheart Radio Bulls Unlimited Channel). Fans are encouraged to bring blankets and utilize seating areas on the grass berms surrounding the playing surface as a large crowd is expected.
The football game will cap off a day of entertainment on campus. Fans can enjoy a pre-game street fest with music, games and food prior to kickoff. Fans are also encouraged to use campus lots on Sycamore and around the Sun Dome for pregame tailgating activities.
USF will begin its second season of spring football practices under head coach
Charlie Strong on March 5 at the Morsani Football Practice Complex. The Bulls will get three practices in before the University's spring break, which runs March 11-17. USF will return for the final 12 of 15 spring practices starting on March 20. USF Pro Day will be held on March 26 at the Morsani Practice Complex.
The football season ticket priority renewal period for all USF football season ticket members began on Jan. 31 and runs through Friday, March 30. New football season tickets deposits are being taken, starting at $50. New season ticket sales for all fans will begin on April 13. In-person sales will also take place at the annual USF Spring Game on April 14.
USF will play six games in Raymond James Stadium during the 2018 season, highlighted by visits from ACC opponent Georgia Tech (Sept. 8) and the return of War on I-4 rival UCF. Last season's thrilling, 49-42 loss to the Knights in Orlando featured a pair of top 25-ranked teams and was chosen as the best college football game of the regular season by Athlon Sports.
