South Florida Bulls

Spring practice starts:March 20

Spring game: April 14

Spring keys: Smooth transition? Several coaches left the program, forcing head coach Jim Leavitt to promote from within and hire some outsiders. This is a critical time to mesh and implement systems, particularly for new offensive coordinator Greg Gregory, who was promoted to replace Rod Smith. Is the Ford running? Quarterback Matt Grothe won't have to lead the team in rushing again, especially if five-star recruit tailback Mike Ford -- who originally committed to Alabama -- establishes himself early. Who replaces linebacker Stephen Nicholas? Sophomore Chris Robinson has the inside track, but it might take a committee.

Funny how they didn't mention McKenzie as a suitable replacement for the LBs.

yep, still a long time till fall practice...that is when things will really pick up.

spring football is almost like tryouts...specially with so many new coaches.  a lot of guys can change positions or move around on the depth chart.

one thing is for sure, it should be exciting.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
