Bulls Hit the Washington Post

[Brad]

Skip Holtz return to Notre Dame, hoping to lead South Florida to upset of Irish

EXCERPT:

South Florida is no stranger to football success in its brief history of football. The Bulls, who joined FBS in 2000, have compiled five straight seasons with at least eight victories and have been to six straight bowls, winning four of them.

Now the Bulls face a Notre Dame team that is ranked 16th nationally, has impact starters back on both sides of the ball and will be out to kick start a season with the goal of reaching a BCS bowl. The Irish are also much more comfortable with Kelly, his staff and the systems he wants to run.

South Florida returns six starters on defense and three other players who also started at one time or another. Linebacker Sam Barrington, defensive tackle Cory Grissom and corner back Quenton Washington head the Bulls defense.

Quarterback B.J. Daniels and his ability to scramble has the Irish concerned, especially since he can throw on the run, just when it looks like he’s about to take off. He’s got two receivers returning who missed last season with injuries in A.J. Love and Sterling Griffin. The running game has added Colorado transfer Darrell Scott.

Daniels has 25 career TD passes and has accumulated nearly 5,000 yards of total offense. Sturdy at 6-foot, 223 pounds, he poses a problem for a Notre Dame defense that was primarily responsible for a four-game winning streak that ended the 2010 season.

Our logo was also depicted on the back of the Wall Street Journal this morning.  Unfortunately we weren't presented in the best light and had nothing to do with the ND game.
