Head Coach Jeff Scott said Tuesday that it was a "crystal clear'' decision to name junior Gerry Bohanon as the team's starting quarterback.
Why?
After just eight weeks at USF, Bohanon ranked second (out of 114 players) in the team's "GRIT'' points that measure effort and leadership in offseason workouts.
He learned the entire playbook in two weeks.
Before the first practice, in a secret vote, Bohanon was listed as one of USF's top three leaders by his teammates.
Following a particularly sloppy practice, Scott was prepared to dress down his team, but Bohanon stepped up to demand accountability.
