With USF football training camp officially concluding Saturday — giving way to a "mock game-week'' then an actual game-week in preparation for the Aug. 31 season-opener against Bethune-Cookman (7 p.m./Raymond James Stadium) — head coach Alex Golesh said he's pleased with the progress of his Bulls.
"We've been in the hotel for two weeks and it was happening really fast for some of the freshmen,'' Golesh said. "But we got a lot of good work in and I'm proud of where we are at this point. We still have a long way to go.
"But that's the challenge for our guys, who have never had to deal with (outside) expectations and the expectation coming from within our walls, where the standards have been raised and attacked like crazy, where every single little thing is getting coached at a high level.
