TAMPA, Fla. — Sometime Sunday, USF coach Jeff Scott made one of the hardest no-brainer decisions he’ll ever make with the Bulls. He named Baylor transfer Gerry Bohanon the starting quarterback over incumbent Timmy McClain.
Identifying Bohanon as the starter was the easy part. The first time he stepped on campus (for his official visit), he watched film with the staff until 1 a.m. When the Bulls tallied the grit score for players’ work ethic and leadership during summer workouts, Bohanon was second on the team.
When every offensive player confidentially listed the unit’s top three leaders on the eve of preseason camp, Bohanon finished in the top three ... despite having not yet taken a single rep with them. No other quarterback received a vote.
