B.J. Daniels


TAMPA -
USF quarterback B.J. Daniels was named BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week, while linebacker Kion Wilson earned honor roll acclaim on the defensive side of the ball.

Daniels had 445 yards of total offense (304 passing, 141 rushing) in the Bulls' last outing against Louisville.  Daniels' total outgained Louisville as a team, which had 313 yards on the day.

Daniels became the first quarterback in school and BIG EAST history to surpass the 300-yard passing and the 100-yard rushing marks in a single game.  He is also just the 28th player in FBS history to do so

The Tallahassee native ran for 100 yards for the fourth time this season.  In addition to Saturday's 141 yards, he has also reached the century yard mark against Charleston Southern (105) on Sept. 19, Florida State (126) on Sept. 26 and West Virginia (104) on Oct. 30.

The rookie QB had career highs in passing yards (304), rushing yards (141), completions (20) and attempts (34).  It was also his second highest number of rushing attempts (22).

Wilson led the Bulls defense with 12 tackles and two tackles for loss.  It marked the fifth straight game he has led the team in tackles and the fourth straight game he has recorded double-digit tackles.

The Bulls close out the 2009 home schedule with a highly-anticipated game against No. 19/21 Miami on Saturday at 3:30 p.m.  A small amount of tickets are still available on GoUSFBulls.com.
