2013-14 NCAA Previews (AAC) – Bulls
Its definitely a new era for the South Florida Bulls. After a decent first season coach Skip Holtz was not able to elevate the program as expected and quarterback B.J. Daniels has graduated, having never lived up to the potential many had in mind for the athletic marvel – now both are gone.
2013-14 NCAA Previews (AAC) – Cardinals
Everyone is expecting the Louisville Cardinals to exit Big East (I had to) on top. They were the best team a year ago and have the best quarterback, coach and roster top to bottom. Everything seems to pointing their way except for the fact that other programs may be highly motivated to beat them given the circumstances.
