Coach Alex Golesh's first USF squad opened training camp Wednesday morning, beginning an 11-day, football-only span where players are sequestered at the nearby Embassy Suites. For the moment, there are zero distractions. Even their car keys are safely tucked away.
They will have access to the outdoor practice fields, the Indoor Performance Facility, the weight room, their playbooks, their coaches … and each other.
That perfect backdrop will emphasize the biggest buzzword of Golesh's eight-month tenure. He hopes that quality will galvanize the Bulls into a mature, efficient unit. According to the veteran Bulls, already hungry for victories, it might be the missing ingredient.
