TAMPA -- Saturday's game at No. 4 Florida is a huge opportunity for USF football, a game fans have been waiting years for, but the Bulls hope to improve their chances at playing well by treating the trip the same as they would any other game.

"It'll be exciting," quarterback B.J. Daniels said. "I was looking forward to going  to Florida State (last year) and I'm definitely looking forward to Florida. But I'm a road guy. I like seeing the different stadiums and atmospheres. That's the cool thing about college football."

Several Bulls have been in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium before -- Daniels played in an AAU basketball tournament at the O'Connell Center in  Gainesville once and walked across the street to check out the empty stadium. On Saturday, it'll have 90,000 fans in it, making it the second-largest crowd ever to see the Bulls, trumped only by a game at Penn  State in 2005.

Having said that, the younger players especially are trying to limit the awe factor by, again, approaching this week the same way they did Stony Brook, with no disrespect intended.

"We're going to treat it just like any other week," freshman quarterback Bobby Eveld said. "Obviously people are going  to jack the game up like it's the biggest game in the world, but we're just going to do what we did to get ready for Stony Brook. ... I don't think we're going  to focus too much on the Florida vs. USF thing. ... We're more focused on being 1-0 this week."

INJURY UPDATE: Redshirt freshman defensive end  Ryne Giddins, who was held out of the opener with a blister on his foot, practiced Sunday and said he'll be fine to play against the Gators. ... Safety Jerrell Young, who left Saturday's game early with a sprained ankle, also practiced and said the injury couldn't keep him from playing in Gainesville. ... The blocked punt that was recovered in the end zone for a touchdown in Saturday's win was initially credited to safety JaQuez Jenkins, but replays showed the block was made by walk-on Chris Lane, who also landed on the loose ball for the touchdown.
