TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – Skip Holtz refuses to speculate about the future of the Big East. Instead, the South Florida coach is busy trying to prepare the 18th-ranked Bulls to make a run at a conference championship in the league’s current configuration.
Of immediate concern to Holtz is Saturday night’s game against UTEP (2-1). It’s the Bulls’ final tuneup for the start of conference play next Thursday at Pitt.
USF (3-0) is coming off a 70-17 rout of overmatched Florida A&M and once again is heavily favored to remain unbeaten. Ideally, Holtz would like to build an early lead, then turn the game over to reserves who can use additional experience to get ready for the toughest part of the team’s schedule.
