Meet Theo: Wilson returns punt for TD
Cornerback Theo Wilson, who had an interception taken back on review, still found a way to make a strong USF debut Saturday night, returned a blocked punt 67 yards for a touchdown and a 49-7 USF lead with 11:39 to play here at Raymond James Stadium.
USF has set a school record for punt return yards in a game -- Marcus Edwards had 124 in the first half alone -- and Wilson, the Dunedin graduate who joined the Bulls from junior college, showed his speed in the open field. Walk-on Cameron Perkins got through to block the kick and set up the return.
Times sportswriter Greg Auman, who covers USF, will post news and thoughts on the Bulletin and we invite your participation in the comments area.
No idea he was that fast. He can be extremely important on defense this year.

And you see the people commenting for Theo and you wonder why his academics are so suspect.....

Theo Wilson took the long route to USF and worked hard at Junior Colleges in Mississippi. His grades are real, not suspect, like his talent!
