Former Taggart players have good day

 Willie Taggart had a rough debut as new head football coach of USF, but his former team Western Kentucky and players he recruited there from Manatee County had a big day. 

Former Manatee High running back Leon Allen gained 92 yards on 10 carries in WKU's 35-27 victory over Kentucky Saturday.  

Willie McNeal from Braden River caught six passes for 57 yards and defensive back Jon Dowling from Southeast preserved the victory with a forced fumble late the game.
