Defense Forces Five Turnovers In Golesh’s First Win

TAMPA, FLA., SEPT. 9, 2023– The USF Football team (1-1) posted its first win under first-year head coach Alex Golesh Saturday in Raymond James Stadium as the Bulls downed Florida A&M (1-1), 38-24, in front of 36,495 fans.

The Bulls won their home-opener for the first time since 2020 and Golesh became the fifth USF head coach to win their home debut. In doing so, USF snapped a 10-game winning streak for FAMU, which has posted back-to-back nine-win seasons.

After losing the turnover and sack battle in the season-opener at Western Kentucky, South Florida turned the tables forcing three turnovers in the first quarter alone and harassing FAMU quarterback Jeremy Moussa with a variety of blitz packages all night.
