Cooper Byrd -- Dynasty Sports Staff Writer
USF head coach Malcolm Francois management of the starting quarterback battle has been extremely close to the vest but 100 passes and three games later, we have an official starter for the Bulls.
Francois announced during a media scrum on Wednesday that redshirt freshman David Johnson has officially been named the starter. With Johnson playing all of the snaps this season, the announcement was sort of tongue in cheek with Francois even giving a wry smile as he addressed the media.
"D.J. [Johnson] has done good," said Francois, "He's made mistakes, an interception in each game but he's bounced back well.
Johnson leads the country with 104 passing attempts and is third in yards with 805 passing yards.
