The University of South Florida opened its 2025 football season with a decisive victory over No. 25 Boise State, marking the program’s first triumph against a ranked opponent in nine years. The Bulls took control early and never let the Broncos mount a serious challenge, drawing praise from analysts who described the performance as a statement win for the American Athletic Conference school. The result represents a milestone for head coach Alex Golesh, who is entering his third season in Tampa and has been working to rebuild the program. Observers called Friday night’s rout the team’s biggest win in years and a potential springboard for further success in the 2025 campaign.
