Can ex-Bull Bresnahan help UCF?

OCTAVIO JONES | Times

USF sophomore cornerback Deatrick Nichols (3) had two interceptions against Cincinnati, returning one for a touchdown.

One of the less conspicuous story lines emanating from this week's USF-UCF contest may or may not evolve into one of the more significant.

If the Knights possess any noticeable edge, it might be first-year defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan's insight into the Bulls personnel. Bresnahan spent the previous two years in the same job on Willie Taggart's staff before being dismissed last December.

And while the Bulls have changed virtually everything in terms of scheme and signals since Bresnahan's departure, he still knows many of USF's starters.
