TAMPA, JULY 25, 2017 - USF football has been steadily trending upward this preseason with prognosticators jumping on the Bulls bandwagon to conference glory and beyond.
USF has been a popular top-25 pick by publications everywhere and is expected to be in the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches' preseason polls for the first time since 2008. Last week, head coach Charlie Strong's Bulls were chosen by the league media as the heavy favorite to capture The American title with six all-conference players back for the chase.
"No one's expectations are as big as our own," said senior linebacker Auggie Sanchez after the opening practice of training camp Monday.
