Junior Hassan Childs made a nifty interception during the Bulls’ second full-squad practice Sunday morning and the defensive backs plan on making a habit of it.
USF did a solid job of that last season with 20 takeaways and the new defensive scheme could help the Bulls blow the total out of the water. Prior to the spring, USF switched to the 4-2-5 (four linemen, two linebackers, five defensive backs) to take full advantage of its strong secondary and the personnel has been enjoying increased opportunities to make plays.
“It benefits us better in coverages and allows us to get faster people on the field to chase down these fast receivers,” sophomore safety Devin Abraham said.
