This week at practice, USF coach Jeff Scott asked a player what he knew about playing in a high altitude.
"That means it's windy, right?'' the player said.
Scott chuckled at the memory.
"There's a little bit more science to it than that,'' Scott said Tuesday at his weekly news conference. "I'm not sure if a lot of our guys know exactly where we're going yet.''
Saturday night, the Bulls (1-2) will play at No. 15-ranked BYU (3-0), which is located in Provo, Utah (4,551 feet above sea level). Game-time temperature is expected to be about 60 degrees (and falling into the 50s) — or about 30 degrees cooler than USF's customary September practice conditions.
