Update for USF Football as they Continue Vero Camp

It sounds like Matt Floyd has taken the lead for the number two spot  in the quarterback depth chart race. 

The Bulls wrapped up another day down in Vero Beach as the season draws even closer.  After a full scrimmage, the Bulls were in the weight room and in shorts as the coaching staff continues to meet with players and evaluate their personnel to determine the depth chart, the first of the fall. 

Greg Auman, who has been down in Vero, caught some great insight from Holtz after the practice (click here for the video).  The biggest note from the brief interview is the move of Matt Floyd to the number two quarterback position, at least for now.  Floyd, a redshirt freshman who enrolled last spring, has been battling with junior Bobby Eveld over the entire summer for the number two spot and have a great touchdown pass to Ruben Gonzalez in the scrimmage, Holtz says he would have Floyd at number two right now because of the consistency.  While the competition will continue and with another scrimmage on Saturday, things can change, Floyd is in the lead. 

Cory Grissom, who is recovering from the ankle fracture in the spring, was on the field progressing.  Todd Chandler, Elkino Watson, and Julius Forte, who were all out yesterday during the scrimmage (Watson left the scrimmage) were back out on the field.  The two concerns were running back Bradley Battles and wide receiver Ruben Gonzalez (wrist) who both needed x-rays today for their injuries, both came back negative and should be out for a week or so, nothing major there (always good to hear). 

Holtz said that the depth chart, projected to come out today, will come out tomorrow morning after the staff wanted to take some more time to meet with players and evaluate more material.  It should be interesting to see if anyone has moved up or down on this chart.
