What to expect from USF, Florida, FSU spring football games

[BrassBulls12]

 things we expect to see

1. A lot of throws to USF veteran Mitch Wilcox. The Bulls' only tight end with college game experience, Wilcox by many accounts has been USF's most prolific pass catcher this spring. In one recent practice, he had four touchdown receptions in 11-on-11 work, according to USF sports-information officials who were observing.

 things we won’t see

1. A starting quarterback named. Unless one guy absolutely goes off the chain, we just don't see this happening. And why should it? This is one highly controlled, compressed intrasquad practice. Ensuing summer workouts, and sweltering preseason camps, could be far greater determinants of who's most capable of leading these teams.

 

4. USF's starting kicker in '18? To this point, walk-ons Jake Vivonetto and Marco Salani, and new P Trent Schneider (who enrolled in January) have competed at kicker, albeit to mixed reviews. Wouldn't shock us if someone else is brought on board (perhaps through an open tryout) to intensify the battle.

 

Springing forward

(Players poised to break through)

RB Elijah Mack, USF. After taking only three handoffs last season, this 6-foot, 220-pound redshirt sophomore (no relation to Marlon) has asserted himself as a serious threat to Florida transfer Jordan Cronkrite for the No. 1 job. On Wednesday, Bulls coach Charlie Strong told WDAE's morning hosts that Mack has "separated" himself.

Most riveting is the potential kicker battle, especially if we bring in another walk on in the summer.

We need a kicker that can kick thru the endzone on kickoffs as our kick coverage last few years is meh.
