Article: College Football's Top 15 Quarterback Battles to Watch in Fall Practice

USF is mentioned in "College Football's Top 15 Quarterback Battles to Watch in Fall Practice":

 

 

South Florida

After averaging just 20.6 points a game in 2012, there’s plenty of room for USF’s offense to improve this year. New coach Willie Taggart has attempted to bolster South Florida’s quarterback issues by adding Penn State transfer Steven Bench this summer. Bench will compete with senior Bobby Eveld, sophomore Matt Floyd and true freshman Mike White this fall.

Not exactly a Leak/Tebow competition here, but okay. As a wise man once said, "It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future."

 

I just hope we get a good field leader that can make good decisions and have a short memory when he doesn't.

Sounds like the guys are really taking to Bench already and the kid hasn't had an official snap yet. I have been seeing tweets like this from him almost everyday since he stepped on campus. He's always working with the guys.

@_datpiff37: “@Steven_Bench: LAST CHANCE TO GET BETTER BEFORE CAMP. THROWING AT 11 TOMORROW†you know I'll be there

@Steven_Bench: ON MY WAY TO THE FACILITY. COME GET BETTER WITH ME

Great leadership

Have no idea if he will pan out but I love to see someone willing to work hard - that's been sorely missing from this team over the past couple years.

if bench doesnt win starting job 

 

eveld will be so bad in msu game that bench will surely replace him

 

bench is the future so why not simply make him the starter(assuming he doesnt bomb in fall camp)

Listening to cwt speak yesterday, I left feeling the best players will play.

I wonder if any coach, anywhere, has ever indicated something different ...

If I'm not mistaken, I think there were armchair rumblings on this board and/or amongst general fans during both the HCJL and HCSH eras that our coaches were too loyal to one player or another (particularly seniors) especially after a poor performance.

No particular link or scenario i can recall, but i seem to remember things like people calling to bench Grothe in favor of BJ Daniels or to use Darrell Scott more.

Whether favoritism existed or not, I won't even venture to guess nor do i wish to open that can of worms to discussion.

Regardless, if by "the best players will play," you mean this coaching staff is the best we've had so far to evaluate talent and put players in the right place to succeed both as individuals and a team, i cautiously agree.

No particular reason, just a feeling. Though it could just as easily be me getting sucked up into more "Beat Florida! That's why I'm here!"-type hype.
