BJ Daniels, the starting QB for USF, will play in April 17th Spring practice game at Raymond James Stadium. Daniels, who was not to participate in practices since having surgery on his non-throwing shoulder, has progressed faster than anyone expected and has been suited up and throwing with the first team offense.
Daniels will wear the red jersey, meaning hands off for the defense. The referees for the spring game have been instructed to quick whistle if the defense gets close to Daniels, meaning a sack will be called. If the defender is able to get an open shot and the referees don't react fast enough, Holtz has instructed them to use a two-hand touch on Daniels, no need to get the only scholarship quarterback and leader of the team injured in a practice game.
Daniels is picking up the offense fairly quickly and getting use to the new signal calling. He has been solid throughout the practices and has been building a strong relationship with his receiving core, including Lindsay Lamar, the new slot receiver and track start. It should be fun to see what Daniels is able to do with the new offense and a chance to see the future of the program.
