Voice of the Bulls
 
TAMPA, JULY 28, 2014 - Because of how it ended, you might forget how it began.
 
Like his predecessor Matt Grothe, the career of B.J. Daniels ended earlier than it should have.  In between a wonderful afternoon in Tallahassee in 2009 and a broken ankle in his final USF appearance in 2012, Bruce Edward Daniels, Jr. may have seen more ups and downs than any USF player.  He was a common link through a tumultuous time in USF Football history, and the success he helped the Bulls achieve in the early part of his career should never be forgotten.
 
It’s easy to remember the first start; the Tallahassee kid coming home to beat the Seminoles the week after Grothe’s injury.  But B.J. Daniels didn’t end there.
 
It was Daniels who led the Bulls to a bowl victory over Northern Illinois in Jim Leavitt’s final game as USF head coach. And a year later, it was Daniels accepting the MVP trophy at the Meineke Car Care Bowl after USF beat Clemson in Skip Holtz’s only USF bowl appearance.
 
Bulls fans know that a lot happened in the 12 months between those games.  What didn’t happen was USF having any problems at quarterback.

Some people only remeber the bad times with BJ. We now know that there was no one else to step and QB this team. He carried this team offensively while he was here.

he had great games and real stinkers

 

he was terribly inconsistent

 

he was a great all around athlete but an average qb at best

 

it is true he is the one of the best usf has ever had but that really isnt saying much

B.J. Daniels was a winner.  He made plays.  And boy, did we miss him when he left.

BJ was inconsistent, but always played with heart. I respect him and will always consider him a great Bull. I hope he gets a real chance in the pros, because every time he gets into a game it looks like he should be playing on Sundays.

I too am a BJ Daniels fan.

Go Bulls!
