UConn Football Opponent Preview: USF

This is not your older brother’s USF.

USF football reached a remarkable peak in 2007 with a No. 2 ranking in the middle of the season, only to finish outside of the top-25 and mostly flounder since. Willie Taggart restored the program, however, into a ‘Group of 5’ juggernaut before leaving for the Oregon job. Charlie Strong, fresh off a disappointing three-year run at Texas, is now at the helm and inherits a rock solid situation.

In 2016, the Bulls finished 11-2 and are likely to pick up right where they left off this season. They were the preseason favorites to win the American Athletic Conference and likely will be ranked in the top-25 when they visit Pratt & Whitney Stadium on Sept.
