Writer biathlon: Racin', then depth-chartin'

Busy with double duty today, with the rain-delayed Grand Prix of St.
Petersburg starting in just a moment, then a quick jaunt back across the
bridge this afternoon for football practice at USF. We should have a
brand-new depth chart from Skip Holtz -- complete with a few position
changes -- before this afternoon's practice.

The gentlemen (and women) are about to start their engines, but I
have a few morning links to share ...

-- There's a Bulls cameo in our news section today, as former
USF running back Ben Williams
is mentioned in a feature on people
working to join the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. Can't think of
many players who universally had the respect of teammates and coaches
the way Williams did during his playing days.

-- Not entirely USF-related, but an update on former
Plant and Miami quarterback Robert Marve
, who is now competing for a
starting job at Purdue for this fall. 

-- ESPN.com's Brian Bennett has written a lot about USF in the past
week and has a feature
on Skip Holtz's transition
to his new job with the Bulls.

-- Looks like Marshall's
Donnie Jones
, a strong recruiter and former Florida assistant, will
be named as the new head coach at Central Florida. I'd think this
upgrades their presence as a competitor to USF for in-state recruits.
