1 OTT 2026 · USF is 4-0, but the next seven days could tell us everything we need to know about the Bulls. First up is a 1-3 Temple team that may be more dangerous than its record suggests. The Owls bring a physical rushing attack, averaging 220.2 yards per game, along with a quarterback in Ajani Sheppard who can hurt defenses both through the air and on the ground.
Nick Wize explains why this is a game USF cannot afford to overlook, why the Bulls desperately need a faster start, and whether their fourth-quarter dominance is a sign of toughness or a troubling trend. Against FBS opponents, USF is averaging just 4.33 points in the first half while outscoring teams 58-16 in the fourth quarter.
With UTSA waiting next week, consistency is becoming the biggest question surrounding this USF team. Can the Bulls put together four complete quarters, slow down Temple's rushing attack, and avoid another slow start?
Plus, Nick gives his prediction for USF vs. Temple.

30 SET 2026 · USF running back D.J. Crowther joins 4th & Bull after the Bulls’ 14-6 win over Bowling Green to talk about grinding through an offensive struggle and finding a way to finish. Crowther discusses what the mindset was inside the offense after being held scoreless for three quarters, how the running game stayed patient despite limited early success, and what changed when the big plays finally started coming in the fourth quarter. He also talks about what it says about USF’s resiliency to put together two touchdown drives late in a game where the offense never felt like it was at its best. Crowther opens up about the message in the locker room after the win. He also explains why he chose USF after starting his career at Dartmouth and what it's like preparing for a Saturday game before turning around for a massive Thursday night matchup. USF is 4-0. D.J. Crowther is a big reason why.

28 SET 2026 · USF is 4-0, but is it time to adjust our expectations for the Bulls? Nick Wize breaks down USF’s ugly win over Bowling Green and asks the question: If you knew before kickoff that the Bulls would throw for just 52 yards, lose the time-of-possession battle and turn the ball over twice, would you have predicted a USF victory? The offense continues to run through DJ Crowther and the running game, but how much can USF overcome with the current state of the offensive line? Is it fair to put the blame on Tim Beck, or are there only so many things an offensive coordinator can do when his offensive line is struggling? Nick also discusses why he believes USF is not running the table, why he hasn't put the Bulls in his Top 25, and what the realistic ceiling is for this team. Could USF win the American? And the biggest red flag? The line of scrimmage. Bowling Green bullied USF’s offensive line, while the Bulls’ defensive line struggled outside of Myles Bradley. BGSU’s Myles Bradley was a major problem all night, making the physical battle up front impossible to ignore. USF is 4-0. But what exactly are the Bulls right now and what do they need to fix before the schedule gets tougher?

24 SET 2026 · Nick Wize is joined by USF Bulls Radio Pregame Host Rock Riley. The Bulls are heading to Bowling Green for a road matchup with the Falcons, and there are plenty of reasons to expect an interesting game plan from both sides. Brian Hartline had a great quote when asked about traveling to Bowling Green for their Homecoming: “We’re going on a business trip, so I really don’t have a whole lot of warm and fuzzy feelings when it comes to traveling anywhere.” The message is clear — USF is treating this like business. We break down the matchup, including why USF could lean heavily on the running game against a Bowling Green defense that is giving up a staggering 295.7 rushing yards per game. The Falcons' defensive line has also been their biggest weakness, creating an opportunity for the Bulls to establish the run. We also discuss why we expect Bowling Green to try to attack USF through the air, especially after some issues in the Bulls' secondary last week. Could this game have a similar strategic feel to the FIU matchup? Not necessarily the same score or stat line, but the way the two teams approach the game could look very familiar. USF vs. Bowling Green. We break down the matchup, the numbers, the game plan and what the Bulls need to do to come home with a win.

23 SET 2026 · USF linebacker Zavier Hamilton joins Nick Wize on 4th & Bull to talk about his journey from Gulf Breeze to Tampa, why he chose the Bulls despite major offers from Arkansas, LSU, Auburn, Notre Dame and Florida State, and how much he’s enjoying life off the field in Tampa. Zavier breaks down what changed defensively after halftime against Delaware State, how USF responded after giving up a 90-yard touchdown and 50-yard run, and what the Bulls’ defense has done so well on third down. He also looks ahead to Bowling Green and discusses what the Falcons do well offensively. Plus, Zavier reflects on the dramatic final drive against Army, celebrates his first career sack against the Black Knights, explains what it’s like when Josh Aldridge calls his number as a pass rusher, and talks about how Aldridge has helped take his game to another level. We also get to know Zavier away from football — his Gulf Breeze sports roots, his preference for noon vs. night games, what a typical gameday looks like, the reality of a normal day for a college football player, and his experience learning to play the piano.

16 SET 2026 · USF wide receiver Joshua Porter joins Nick Wize on 4th & Bull after the Bulls’ dramatic 28-24 comeback victory over Army! Porter takes us inside the final 81-yard drive, including the game-winning 38-yard touchdown with just 23 seconds remaining. What was going through his mind when he saw the ball go up? Did he know USF was going to take a shot against Army’s Cover Zero? And did the Bulls really think they were kicking a field goal before that final play? Porter also discusses catching three passes on the final drive, what changed offensively during the fourth-quarter comeback, spending long stretches on the sideline in the first half, and what he believes the offense is beginning to figure out after two games. Then we get to know Joshua Porter away from football — his favorite Tampa food spot, what he does on his days off, which teammate he wouldn’t trust to babysit his kid.

14 SET 2026 · Nick Wize breaks down USF’s performance, including the offensive line’s improvement from Week 1, why the pass protection was better than the run blocking, and why Army’s explosive passing plays were such a problem. The Bulls gave up too much at the end of the first half, including an Army touchdown when USF knew the Black Knights were likely to throw. On offense, Brian Hartline was more aggressive than he was in Week 1, but did USF find something late in the game? The final two drives were both touchdown drives, and both came while USF operated in the no-huddle. Should the Bulls make tempo a bigger part of their identity? Nick also breaks down the costly drops, the decision-making on fourth down, the onside kick with more than three minutes remaining, and the huge fourth-and-6 touchdown from Michael Van Buren Jr. to Joshua Porter. The biggest question coming out of the game: What is USF’s offensive identity? Are the Bulls truly a run-first team, or should they lean into the passing game and play faster?

10 SET 2026 · The Bulls head into Week 2 against Army, and there are plenty of reasons to believe this game could look very different from USF’s 19-9 win over FIU. On this episode of 4th & Bull, Nick Wize breaks down the biggest storylines heading into the matchup, including why USF’s passing game could be the biggest advantage, why the Bulls’ offense needs to be MUCH better, and how Army’s ability to control the clock could create problems. PLUS — UCF and USF reportedly won’t be renewing the War on I-4, and Nick gives his thoughts on the rivalry potentially coming to an end. Is UCF getting revenge for how USF treated the Knights during the Big East era? Should UCF be willing to play USF in Tampa? And if USF eventually joins the Big 12, where would USF-UCF rank among the conference’s biggest rivalries?
