USF — the best-kept secret in the FBS

By Joey Johnston

Posted on August 18, 2016

TAMPA — Raymond James Stadium has undergone a $140-million facelift, highlighted by two monstrous HD video boards with 28,000 square feet of display space.

Sure enough, there’s plenty to see.

The College Football Playoff National Championship Game will be held at the facility that already has hosted a pair of Super Bowls.

It’s home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are poised to make a move in the NFC South Division with a roster of dynamic young players, including quarterback Jameis Winston.

It’s also where you’ll find the Football Bowl Subdivision’s best-kept secret.

The University of South Florida Bulls — shhhhhh! — have a team well worth watching. It probably sounds ridiculous to mention USF as a legitimate national-title contender, but you know what? The Bulls could be favored to win 11 of their 12 regular-season games.

Certainly, they will have underdog status on Sept. 24 when the Florida State Seminoles roll into Tampa …

Wait, a positive story about USF? Aren't we supposed to be talking about attendance and spell check and eyeballs on TV's? Joey needs be retained.

You do realize that's not THE Joey, right? It's the Joey that should have been retained ...

It is nice to see article about what USF is all about, even if they come from alumni.

Great read, thanks for sharing Brad.  After reading this article it makes me more excited for 9/3.  Despite the competition, not a knock on Towson, we will all get to see the hard work of the preseason pay off.  Looking forward to see what can be of this team.
