In the 100 days to Bulls Football countdown, TheBullsPen.com is hosting discussion on players wearing the numbers 99 to 1.      

     

Today we're approx 89 days until kickoff of the 2007 season      

     

The number 89 was and/or is worn by the following Bulls:      

     

Brian Erb .................................................1997

Casey Cobb.....................................2000-2003

Please post your comments, thoughts and reflections on these Bulls and help countdown the days until kickoff vs. Elon in Raymond James Stadium on September 1, 2007.

Taurus had the longest play from scrimmage last year for USF - the 79-yard catch and run against Syracuse. He's going to need to have a big year with Randolph and S.J. Green gone.

Cobb was good, we just never threw to our TE's . . .

Johnson is very good and depending on his year, may think about leaving early. I think we will still be as deep as last year and the balls will be shared.

Anyone else notice how dramatically the talent level has risen in the players wearing these numbers over the years?  In the last few numbers the most recent/current wearer is by far the best player to have worn that number so far.

Yep and in this case I think TJ is going to be regarded as one of the best ever.  Agree with E.T. on Cobb.  Erb was a transfer from FSU that had some catches but, in my opinion, did not live up to the hype (probably unfair) that goes along with transferring from FSU.

One thing people fell to mention is that this guy can run a helluva a reverse. I really enjoy watching this kid play. I think he's poised for a "true" breakout year. 3 tds on reverses for a wr is unheard of. And don't forget he laid a crucial block on a WVU defender to help spring ean randolph into the endzone.

TJ is by far my favorite player right now. You would think his height would be a hindrance to his ability, but its not! He is an amazing player and can't wait to see him catching TD's from Grothe.

[RankBull]

TJ runs the reverse with such force, I was thinking we should give him a try at running back last year, with all of the troubles we were having. TJ is my favorite offensive Bull. The best thing is that he is a fellow Cape Coral Seahawk. Go Seahawks and Go Bulls!!

[E.T.]

Johnson's blocking really stood out his FR season.

Go BULLS !!!

My mom and Taurus' mom work together and I know that she would be thankful for all the nice things you all are saying about her son.  She is a very proud mother!  

Run Taurus!
