With the Bulls off to a 1-4 start, coach Jeff Scott said Tuesday that he still believes in his players and coaches, while adding that he also believed a turnaround can be best achieved through stability and sticking to the plan.
For USF fans running low on patience, Scott said, "I can understand their frustration. And their frustration is not just from the last three years, but the stuff the program has dealt with in the last 12 years.''
Scott said the Bulls have faced a challenging schedule in 2022, ranked as the nation's 25th most difficult slate by College Football Playoff data, and been hamstrung by a flurry of injuries (11 players who have started at USF were sidelined for last Saturday's 48-28 neutral-site defeat against East Carolina in the American Athletic Conference opener).
