For his play, senior linebacker Kion Wilson was named the co-National Linebacker of the Week by CollegeFootballPerformance.com after the defense bottled up one of the nation's best running backs. USF popped back into the polls at No. 25 in the BCS standings.
• The Bulls followed the lead of quarterback B.J. Daniels, who led the team with over 330 yards of total offense in an inspired win. Daniels brought hope back to the team as he displayed his full potential Friday night, writes Gary Shelton. After plummeting down to earth in the last two games, writes Tom Zebold in the Lakeland Ledger, Daniels took off against the Mountaineers.
• A renewed confidence in the passing game also greatly contributed to the win, writes new beat writer Scott Carter of the Tampa Tribune. Wide receiver Carlton Mitchell's speed was on full display and was the beneficiary of that passing attack. Running back Moise Plancher had a big game, too, helping USF turn the corner after two straight losses.
• Check out a photo gallery from the St. Pete Times as well. Looking back, Greg Auman writes that a pair of fourth down gambles paid off for the Bulls. USF became one of eight teams in the nation to defeat two ranked opponents so far in 2009. Read some more news and notes from The Oracle.

Daniels gets a helmet sticker from Bennett for his performance, while he also offers readers what he learned in Week 9 about the BIG EAST, including that maybe this isn't the same old USF. Staying in the league, Auman writes that the hard-luck Huskies of UConn lost at home after honoring former player Jasper Howard.
