SOUTH FLORIDA BULLS NEWS

Abdur-Rahmaan Yaseen - Logs nine snaps Friday Yaseen (undisclosed) logged nine snaps during Friday's matchup against Florida Atlantic.

Impact Yaseen was previously listed as questionable against the Owls after missing USF's previous two games with an undisclosed injury but was able to make his return against Florida Atlantic. Though the senior receiver did not record any counting stats during Friday's game, his return to the field was encouraging to see. Given his limited snap count, it can be assumed that he still may not be at 100 percent, though he can likely be looked at as probable against Navy this coming Saturday.

Sean Atkins - Catches first TD Friday Atkins reeled in 6 of 10 targets for 57 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 44-21 victory over Florida Atlantic.

Impact Atkins scored his first touchdown of the season Friday, a 13-yard reception in the third quarter. He saw 10 targets for the second time this season and caught six passes, his second most this season. Although he has recorded lots of targets and catches, his lack of consistent yardage and touchdowns has made Atkins a fairly disappointing asset. If he can continue to find the end zone though, he could be in for a strong end to the season.

Ta'Ron Keith - Scores in Friday's win Keith recorded three carries for 81 yards and one touchdown and reeled in all three targets for 42 yards during Friday's 44-21 win versus Florida Atlantic.

Impact Keith only had five touches Friday but he still managed a very productive outing. He scored a 42-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter and ended the game with 123 yards from scrimmage, easily his most this season. He now has five rushing touchdowns through eight games this season. He is still pretty firmly behind Nay'Quan Wright and Kelley Joiner in the backfield, but he still has shown he can be fairly productive on limited touches.

Kelley Joiner - Scores twice versus FAU Joiner recorded 11 carries for 89 yards and one touchdown and reeled in all two targets for 32 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 44-21 win over Florida Atlantic.

Impact Joiner had another productive day Friday as he scored two touchdowns in his second straight game. He caught a three-yard touchdown in the third quarter, then scored a 17-yard touchdown on the ground early in the fourth quarter. Although Joiner received fewer touches than Nay'Quan Wright, he still had a very productive outing. He will likely continue to split reps with Wright and Ta'Ron Keith, but Joiner has proven to have a high upside, particularly in favorable matchups.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Nay'Quan Wright - Leads backfield Friday Wright notched 17 carries for 117 yards and one touchdown and caught all two targets for 12 yards during Friday's 44-21 victory versus Florida Atlantic.

Impact Wright was excellent in Friday's win as he led the team in rushing attempts and yards. He set season highs with 17 carries and 117 yards and scored his third touchdown of the season, a 64-yard rush in the second quarter. He still split carries with Kelley Joiner, but Wright looked like the lead back during Friday's win.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Bryce Archie - Productive in win over FAU Archie completed 19 of 32 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns during Friday's 44-21 victory versus Florida Atlantic. He also had eight rushes for 25 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Archie made his third consecutive start Friday with Byrum Brown (foot) still out. He played well once again as he tossed two touchdown passes and added his first rushing touchdown of the season. Brown's timetable for return is still a major question, but Archie has proven that he's capable of good performances when he's starting.

Byrum Brown - Not starting Friday Brown (foot) will not start in Friday's game against FAU, national college football writer Brett McMurphy reports.

Impact Brown, who has been sidelined since Week 5 with a foot injury, will not start in Friday's matchup with the Owls. The 6-foot-3 junior quarterback will yet again give way to junior quarterback Bryce Archie, and it is unclear if Brown is available for the contest.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Bryce Archie - Starting again Friday Archie will start Friday's game versus FAU, national college football writer Brett McMurphy reports.

Impact Archie had reportedly taken most of the first-team reps this week, so it's not too surprising that he'll draw the start again Friday with Byrum Brown (foot) still recovering. The status of the starting job is seemingly up in the air moving forward, and Archie could make a case to keep it with a good showing.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Byrum Brown - Not guaranteed starting job Brown (foot) will not automatically resume USF's starting quarterback spot upon returning from injury, Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact When asked if Brown, who was last active Week 5 against Tulane, would resume the Bulls' starting job when healthy, head coach Alex Golesh said, "I think we'll cross the bridge when we get there". Brown remains questionable to suit up Friday against FAU and Golesh divulged that Bryce Archie has taken most of the Bulls' first-team reps at practice this week. It appears the decision at quarterback for the Bulls will come down to a game-time decision and it is a real possibility that if Brown is healthy both quarterbacks see the field.

Byrum Brown - Continues to practice Brown (foot) "continues to practice" for South Florida, Joey Knight of The Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Brown's latest update indicates he could be available for South Florida soon. However, Bryce Archie continues to be the USF quarterback logging first-team snaps. For his QB teammate's status improvement, there has to be good news Thursday, when the Bulls' football program is expected to know more about how Brown is doing.

Bryce Archie - Continues to see first-team reps Archie continues to prepare to start under center for the Bulls ahead of Friday's game against FAU, Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Archie, who has appeared in USF's last four games in relief of Byrum Brown (foot), continues to see the majority of first-team reps this week at practice. The 6-foot-3 junior has been okay in his unexpected opportunity this season, throwing for 533 yards (52-of-98), three touchdowns and four interceptions. Archie appears in line to start once again for the injured Brown, but he would shift back to the bench if Brown is ultimately available for the contest.

Abdur-Rahmaan Yaseen - Injury and DNP confirmed Yaseen (undisclosed) did not play during South Florida's 35-25 win Saturday against UAB.

Impact South Florida's team website confirmed Yaseen is recovering from an injury. Currently, the Bulls are expected to play their next game at Florida Atlantic on Nov. 1.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Keshaun Singleton - Catches long TD Saturday Singleton had four receptions (on six targets) for 105 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 35-25 win versus UAB.

Impact Singleton came into Saturday's game with three targets and zero catches through six games. He broke out versus UAB, thanks in large part to a 67-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter. He also had decent volume though as he saw six targets and went for over 100 yards. This surprising breakout was impressive, but it's probably worth waiting another game to see if he can sustain the target share.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Ta'Ron Keith - Back in end zone Saturday Keith notched nine rushes for 41 yards and one touchdown and gathered in 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 35-25 win versus UAB.

Impact After not finding the end zone in his last three games, Keith scored a four-yard touchdown in the third quarter, his fourth touchdown of the season. He saw nine carries, the same amount at Nay'Quan Wright and six fewer than Kelley Joiner. It appears that Joiner is establishing himself as the top back, but Keith is still seeing a fair amount of work. However, he has not had more than 10 touches in any game this season so fantasy managers will not be satisfied with his performance unless he finds paydirt.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Kelley Joiner - Excellent in comeback win Joiner tallied 15 carries for 94 yards and two touchdowns and caught all two targets for 34 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 35-25 victory against UAB.

Impact Joiner scored three massive touchdowns Saturday, scores that led the Bulls to a comeback win for the team's first conference win of the season. He caught a 10-yard touchdown in the third quarter, then scored a pair of rushing touchdowns in the final seven minutes to secure the victory. He also accumulated a season-high 128 yards from scrimmage and looked to be the lead back over Ta'Ron Keith and Nay-Quan Wright. It is still a split backfield, but Joiner has clearly looked the best among the three.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Bryce Archie - Solid in win over UAB Archie was 17-for-31 passing for 201 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 35-25 win over UAB. He also had seven rushes for negative one yard.

Impact Archie helped lead a comeback win Saturday as he tossed two touchdowns and threw for over 200 yards. He played slightly better than he did in his first start, and it was enough to earn his team the win over the hapless Blazers. With a bye week this upcoming weekend, there's a decent chance Byrum Brown (foot) will be able to return on Nov. 1 at Florida Atlantic.

Byrum Brown - Out again Saturday Brown (foot) is out versus UAB, national college football writer Brett McMurphy reports.

Impact Brown will miss his second consecutive game Saturday as he continues to deal with a foot injury. It's a tough blow for the Bulls who will be starting Bryce Archie for the second straight week. Brown's next chance to play is Nov. 1 at FAU.
