The 2011 season was a disappointing one, but there were some great moments as well (despite the 5-7 record).  Like we did last year with our top 10 moments, we will count down the top 11 moments from 2011 from the year.  Here is moment number 11. 

JaQuez Jenkins INT for TD vs. WVU

The Bulls were facing WVU in the final game of the season that would determine their bowl game fate.  Coming into the game, the Bulls were just 5-6, but had been a thorn in the side of the Mountaineers over the past few seasons and in their final year in the Big East, USF wanted to send them out on a note. 

The game was a very close one as they battled back and fourth in huge momentum swings for both sides, coming down to the 4th quarter.  In the series before, B.J. Daniels scored a rushing TD to tie the game.  After that, Marvin Kloss kicked off and WVU had to start from their own 28 yard line.  

Geno Smith dropped back for the pass, dealing with the USF pass rush and threw a quick pass but did not see JaQuez Jenkins coming up from the corner position and he stepped in front of the route and snagged the ball, racing back to the endzone for a 24 yard touchdown.  This score put the Bulls up by 7 points, swinging momentum to their side.  

While they did not win the game, it was a huge play for the team and showed his skill level and how good he can be.  He will only get better in his final season and this momentum was a big one.
