Special teams is always a key to every game and facing a talented team like Louisville on the road, every yard will count for the Bulls. USF has struggled in the kick return game, but has been better on punt coverage. Here is what they are up against in this game.
At the place kicker position is redshirt freshman John Wallace who is 5 for 5 this season in field goals. He is also the kick-off specialist. Behind him is sophomore Matthew Nakatani (5-8 175-pounds).
At the punter position is sophomore Ryan Johnson (5-11 197-pounds) who has punted 16 times, averaging 43 yards a kick. He is accurate and will make it hard to get a punt return against him. Behind him is freshman Josh Appleby (6-3 236-pounds).
At the punt return position is sophomore Kai Dominguez (6-0 189-pounds) who has 9 returns for 54 yards. USF will have to keep the talented return man in check, although he hasn't been a major threat all season long (no need for him to break out in this game). Behind him is redshirt freshman Charles Gaines (5-11 187-pounds) and sophomore DeVante Parker (6-3 204-pounds).
At kick return is junior Senorise Perry (6-0 198-pounds) who has 3 returns for 41 yards. Joining him back to return kicks are senior Adrian Bushell (5-11 184-pounds) who has 5 returns for 126 yards, junior Jeremy Wright (5-11 205-pounds) who has 3 for 49, and redshirt freshman Charles Gaines (5-11 187-pounds).
