TAMPA — South Florida football mourned losing control of its College Football Playoff destiny one last time on Nov. 17.

The next day, the Bulls returned to their indoor practice facility, intent to "turn the page."

"It's important to feel the emotion and the disappointment of a tough loss like that. But it's important not to dwell on it," starting left tackle Derek Bowman said. "We talked about, as a team, sitting in it for a second — feel it, remember what it feels like, and then turn the page. Wipe the slate, and ensure you do everything in your ability to never feel that again."
