Trailing 13-7 in the fourth quarter the Falcons (3-4, 2-1 Mid-American Conference) reached the red zone on three consecutive possessions, making a field goal, missing a field goal and finally taking the lead on Keith's touchdown run. Bowling Green's defense then forced a three-and-out and a turnover on downs on Miami's two remaining possessions.

The RedHawks (3-4, 1-2) had rushed for more than 200 yards in four of their last five games but managed only 98 yards on the ground against the Falcons. Quarterback Aveon Smith led Miami in rushing with 55 yards and he completed 9 of 17 passes for 91 yards. Miami's only touchdown came on a 19-yard pass from Smith to Miles Marshall, giving the RedHawks a 10-7 lead at halftime.

  USF fifth-year senior safety Vincent "Smoke" Davis, the Bulls' second-leading tackler last season and one of their captains, announced Tuesday he must give up football for the time being due to a neck injury. "At this moment, it is not safe for me to continue playing football and potentially risk compromising my long-term health," Davis wrote in a lengthy social-media message. "This news has been extremely difficult to reconcile with as I expected to take the field with my brothers and have a year like no other. I have no doubt that our team is going to do something special this year." Long regarded as one of the defense's fiercest hitters, Davis, 22, made 20 starts over the previous four seasons, totaling 102 tackles the last two years. In 2021, he recorded 68 tackles (including a career-high 13 against Tulsa and eight against Florida) with 1-1/2 tackles for loss, two quarterback hurries and a pass breakup. - Tampa Tribune

  04/04/21 - K.J. SailsrSr/2021, South Florida, 5-10, 177 (DS#59 CB) + More +

  As defensive back KJ Sails went through the most important workout of his life Thursday during USF's pro day, an NFL scout stopped him with an odd-sounding request. He wanted to find out more about the governor. "It was kind of funny," Sails said. "I didn't really think that they did their research about that type of stuff on me." Sails, of course, is not the governor. The East Bay High alumnus merely spent a day as Tampa's honorary mayor in February. But as pro teams continue their research about the NFL hopeful ahead of this month's draft, they'll discover an impressive player who will make an impact far beyond any locker room.

Sails' onfield influence was strong enough during his two seasons at USF. After arriving as a transfer from North Carolina in 2019, he started 20 games for the Bulls and was one of their bright spots during a rough stretch. He earned second-team all-conference honors as a junior and would have participated in an all-star showcase or two this offseason, had they not been cancelled because of the pandemic. His impression on the community was equally notable. Amid the nationwide unrest after George Floyd's death over the summer, Sails organized a unity walk from downtown Tampa to Central Park Village. Mayor Jane Castor became his mentor and awarded him the key to the city. "I'm thankful to impact my community, because this community means a lot to me," Sails said. "I grew up here. I was born and raised here. A lot of my family's from here. It's a blessing." - Tampa Tribune
