I'll be posting my full preview later this week, but here is my write-up from the pre-season:

 

Game Two: South Florida Bulls

2014 Record: 1-0 (0-0 American Athletic Conference)

2013 Record: 2-10 (2-6 American Athletic Conference)

 

Willie Taggart enters his second season at the helm in South Florida following a disappointing 2-10 record a season ago. The team ranked near the bottom of the FBS in most major categories, and their new pro-style offense failed to get off the ground. Taggart is a very young head coach at just 37 years of age, but had been the head coach at Western Kentucky for 2 years before the team hired Bobby Petrino. He also served as the running backs coach at Stanford under Jim Harbaugh from 2007-2009.

 

The team will have a new offensive coordinator this season, as Paul Wulff was hired to replace Walt Wells. Wulff will be running a very similar offense to Wells, as Taggart prefers to use a pro-style attack. Wulff spent the last two seasons as a senior offensive assistant with the San Francisco 49ers, and was the head coach at Washington State for the four years prior to that. The Bulls will have a very competitive quarterback competition this off-season, as multiple players were used last season.

Gonna be a hot one down in South Florida. Maryland's good depth could be huge in this game.

Army game is not going to end before the Terps game starts. They do not have an alternate channel to my knowledge, so we could be out of luck for awhile.

Yup. No switch over yet at my house. Ugh. This will be the longest 5:00 of football ever.

Ngakoue started last week and was stellar. Hope he's ready for this heat.

USF QB Mike White injured on first play of the game. He's come out.

At BDubs. Female manager just managed to turn every tv off while I trying to put the MD game on. Unreal.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Army thankfully gets the onsides. Let's go clock.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Brown to Goins for 17 yards... MD's first series after a USF punt.

[BSLChrisStoner]

On 2nd and 6.. Ross for 8 yards... to the MD 49 yard.

[BSLChrisStoner]

A 7 yard Ross run negated by holding.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Brown picked off... USF takes over at their own 20.

[Pedro Cerrano]

On behalf of all buffalo alums I apologize.
