Soapy, that BYU team doesn't look all the good. Choke job if you lose.

My only concern is that even though it says they run a pro style offense, I'm worried they actually run the triple option based on their rushing stats which are absurd but yeah, surprised they made it. I even put myself at #6 instead of a higher seeding to have a tougher playoffs and even then, might end up cake walking outside of the first game

USF wraps up final practice of the season as chance at history looms on the horizon for Francois Sr.
Anthony Washington -- The Tampa Bay Chronicles
Since the inception of the College Football Playoffs, no team has won back to back titles with USF being the closest to that claim, winning the Champions Division Final back in 2037 during the inaugural season of the ANAC, a season where the playoffs weren't held and an undisputed national champion wasn't declared. The next year, with the playoffs back into play, the Bulls would win the playoffs and following a 7-6 season in 2039, would win it again last season.
They're back in the College Football Playoffs National Championship Game where the Bulls are undefeated in three tries with wins against Texas, Alabama and Ohio State, doing some with relative ease outside of the one-point victory over Texas. Even as the spread against BYU keeps widening in the Bulls favor, USF head coach Malcolm Francois Sr. knows that the program's eight undisputed national championship won't come easy.
"They're here for a reason," Francois Sr. said at media day when asked about the perceived talent gap between BYU and USF, "You don't stumble into the playoffs and you don't fail your way into the final, you earn it. They have a tough running game to stop and we'll have our hands full there and a bunch of athletes on defense. I don't think the gap is as wide as the media is making it out to seem."
In three seasons at BYU, Donald Miller's average recruiting class is ranking is 43rd. USF's? 8th in Francois Sr's 29 seasons at USF which included some non-top 25 finishes in his early tenure and have since been a perennial top five finisher in the past ten seasons with multiple top classes. The Cougars have one first team All-American in guard Quardraiz Reynolds and one second team in linebacker Rashon Andrews. USF has four first team All-Americans, all on defense in E.J. Young, Kyle Locher, Charlie Robinson and Joel McDonald with running back Jacob Wheeler and cornerback Travis Jones on the second team.
Some other notes from media day:
- Offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee remains focused on the task at hand, not worried about head coaching possibilities
A few assistant coaches at USF have already taken interviews these past few weeks for openings at other schools but USF's two top assistants, offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee and defensive coordinator Trai Martinez, haven't despite their success this season.
"I don't know if there's a wrong way or right way to go about it," Lashlee said of not taking interviews while the Bulls are still playing, "We're all professionals so we can compartmentalize and do all of that but I felt like for this year, it was best if I withdrew myself from [coaching interviews] until the season was over and that's a decision that I'm comfortable with and I'm happy with."
With rumors of David Shaw's potential retirement at Stanford, Lashlee's patience could prove fruitful if he's able to slide in at the last minute and jump in one of college football's best jobs.
While Lashlee is expected to interview for openings once the season is over, the belief inside of USF's athletic department is that Martinez will not and is expected to return for a fourth season as USF's defensive coordinator. Martinez was given the Associate Head Coach title last season, which was once held by long-time offensive line coach Jim Michalczik who retired two seasons ago.
- - Francois Sr. working on an extension with USF, no succession plan expected to be included in the deal
One constant on USF's staff has been their head coach and as previously reported, that's not going to change any time soon.
USF and Francois Sr. are working on an extension to give the veteran head coach another pay bump and iron out some details in his previous contract that contained some revenue sharing opportunities and an expanded off field staff.
Francois Sr. has expressed to the administration that he plans to coach for at least another decade and would like to finish out his career at USF. While Francois Sr. is high on several assistants on his staff, no successor is expected to be named formally or informally as part of the extension, something that had been rumored about for the past few months.
- - Draft eligible juniors Kellen Wright, E.J. Young not ruling out return for senior season
As is the norm, USF is expected to lose a good bit of talent to graduation and the draft after the season but at least two players aren't quite ready to declare.
Both running back Kellen Wright and linebacker E.J. Young spoke to the media on Tuesday and threw cold water on this being their last game.
"I don't know about that," Young told the media when asked about any extra pressure on this being his last game, "I don't even think or know if that's the case. I haven't really had those discussions with my family and haven't given it too much thought so it's too early to tell, way too early to tell.
Wright shared similar sentiments, stating he still has goals at USF that he has yet to hit, including rushing for over 1,000 yards.
"I haven't done everything I've wanted to do," Wright added, "So it'll be hard to just walk away like that, it'll be tough, I don't know how I'll feel about that."
Both Wright and Young were five-star recruits that earned limited roles as freshmen with Wright rushing for 523 yards and eight touchdowns while Young recorded twelve tackles for loss. Their roles expanded as a sophomores with Young leading the team with thirteen sacks before his numbers took a dip in 2041, recording 19 tackles for loss compared to 28 as a sophomore and just five sacks this season. Young still remains a potential first or second round pick with his combination of size, speed and strength.
Wright is having a career year, averaging 63.9 yards per game and 6.2 yards per carry, both an improvement from his freshman and sophomore season.

USF's Noah Wester's interception secures Bulls eight national championship in win over BYU
Last year, USF linebacker Noah Wester intercepted Ohio State's Jimmy Smith to put the finishing bow on USF's 45-23 win over the Buckeyes to win their seventh national championship.
Wester once again proved to be the finisher, intercepting James Hall's pass to end BYU's hopes of a comeback and seal USF's eight national championship following their 27-21 victory against the Cougars.
Hall led a ferocious comeback effort from the Cougars that began in the end of the first half when Hall and BYU's passing game, which had been porous up to the point, got it going to make it an eleven point game. Markeith Washington joined in on the action in the second half with two impressive runs to shrink the lead even more following his fifteen yard touchdown.
USF would respond with two scores, a long field goal by Chris Sanders and Kellen Wright's second touchdown of the day in the fourth, who rushed for a team high 132 yards.
The Cougars didn't go down quietly, converting a fourth and five on the ensuing drive to keep their hopes alive. Hall was able to get loose in the open field on back to back plays to find the end zone to make it 27-19 and then head coach Donald Miller opted to go for two to make it a six point game. Hall was once again able to escape the pursuit of USF linebacker Kyle Locher to find the endzone on a scramble.
The Bulls running game got back to work, draining the clock and eating up yards to make it to BYU's 31-yard line with 2:02 remaining and no timeouts left for the Cougars. On 3rd and 6, BYU got a defensive stop, forcing the Bulls into a tough position. USF head coach Malcolm Francois Sr. trusted his kicker with the 51-yard field goal but it sailed wide right, giving the Cougars the ball back with 1:20 left.
Just like the end of the first half, Hall and the passing game caught fire with three consecutive completions to get them inside USF's 30-yard line. Hall tried to get the ball out quickly across the middle as Todd Bryant had beaten his defender clean off the line of scrimmage but Wester was roaming the middle area and jumped the route, intercepting the pass with 38 seconds left.

USF TE Jeff Rutledge declares for the draft as Dominique Shelton announces transfer to Georgia Tech
Cooper Byrd -- Dynasty Sports Staff Writer
USF tight end Jeff Rutledge will enter the draft, as first reported by Draft Kings Sports' Murphy Bell.
The third-year tight end had one year of eligibility left but after catching 139 passes for 1715 yards along with 24 touchdowns in the past two seasons, the sure handed pass catcher projects to be the top tight end taken off the board in this spring's draft.
Rutledge is the first USF draft eligible underclassmen to make a decision regarding their future with linebacker E.J. Young, running back Kellen Wright, redshirt sophomore left tackle Garrett McTaggart and redshirt sophomore cornerback Travis Jones still undecided.
Former USF running back Dominique Shelton is also leaving the team as he's transferring to Georgia Tech. Shelton is the third USF player to transfer since the end of the regular season, joining Tracy Brooks and Mike Thomas who entered the portal in the midst of the playoffs.
Redshirt junior linebacker Jackson Gold Jr. and defensive tackle Rahmod Carter have also entered the transfer portal as graduate transfers.
