TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -B.J. Daniels threw for 264 yards and two touchdowns Saturday night, helping South Florida launch the Skip Holtz era with a 59-14 rout of Stony Brook in the season opener for both teams.
Daniels teamed with Dontavia Bogan on a 59-yard score on the Bulls’ first offensive play. The third-year sophomore later threw a 27-yard TD pass to Joel Miller, the reserve running back who was involved in a locker room incident that led to the firing of former coach Jim Leavitt after last season.
Holtz replaced Leavitt in January after five seasons at East Carolina. The son of former Notre Dame and South Carolina coach Lou Holtz is only the second coach to guide a program that Leavitt built from scratch over the past 13 years.
