TAMPA, AUG. 2, 2019 – The motivated 2019 Bulls zoomed through the first camp action of the fall Friday and immediately impressed head coach Charlie Strong with their ability to rise to a challenge.

With the first practice originally set for 6 p.m., Strong moved up the start time a full nine hours a morning start to make sure the Bulls got some good work in at the Morsani Complex ahead of a rainy afternoon forecast.

"It was a really good day of work. Guys moved around. Guys looked good," Strong said. "We've just got to continue to build each and every day because it's going to be a process."

USF handled drills and team work with a businesslike approach despite having a partial roster on the field due to class schedules. The freshmen and a handful of veterans also took the field in the early afternoon and finished up drills just ahead of lightning and rain moving into the area. 

"At the end of the day, it's all about them just realizing they have to improve and where they want to take their game," said Strong of camp as a whole.

USF returns 16 starters and 39 lettermen, including starting quarterback Blake Barnett, for Strong's third season with the program. The veterans feel good about the leadership development and the team's overall mindset as the huge season opener against Wisconsin at Raymond James Stadium is quickly approaching.
