TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The lone meeting between South Florida and Florida A&M in football was such a hit at the box office that the Bulls and Rattlers have agreed to play twice more over the next five seasons.

USF will host games between the schools in Tampa on Sept. 17, 2011 and Sept. 5, 2015.

The Bulls won the only previous meeting 37-3 in 2005. That game drew a crowd of more than 43,000, marking the first time tickets in the upper deck of Ramyond James Stadium were sold for a USF game.

USF athletic director Doug Woolard also announced Tuesday that Texas -El Paso will visit Tampa as one of the Bulls’ nonconference opponents next season.
