USF vs Florida Preview
Eighteenth-ranked Florida (1-1) face a key in-state matchup against South Florida (1-1) on Saturday.
Florida opened the season in convincing fashion with a 29-26 win over then-No. 7 Utah. The Gators then fell short to No. 20 Kentucky 26-16, but that doesn’t mean head coach Billy Napier that his team was emotionally intoxicated over the Utah win the week before.
“I wouldn’t describe it as a hangover as much it’s like getting a speeding ticket. You’re a little more aware of the things that you need to do,” Napier said via The Orlando Sentinel & Tribune’s Matt Murschel.
South Florida bounced back from a 50-21 season-opening loss to then-No. 25 BYU to beat Howard 42-20. The Bulls look to pull a big upset in Gainesville. At the very least, Napier has high regard for what Bulls head coach Jeff Scott is building in Tampa.
“Jeff’s a football guy,” Napier said via 247 Sports. “He’s been in football families the entire time. His dad, obviously, Brad Scott as a phenomenal coach and a great mentor to me early in my career. Jeff’s got great character. He was raised the right way. He has care for young people. He’s in the game for the right reasons.
“I think he’s got a program there where they’re trying to impact people and use the game in a positive way,” Napier added. “He’s got a great offensive mind. He’s very organized, very much a CEO, got a good business mind, and a guy that I think is one of the bright young coaches in the game. Jeff’s been successful at all stops here, right? Certainly he’s in the process of building a program there in South Florida.”
