It's now 13 days until kickoff of Catamount football at the Raymond James Stadium, home of the University of South Florida Bulls on August 30th in in Tampa, FL.
To help pass those long summer days until football season starts, and hopefully get the Catamount faithful more excited about the upcoming season, we'll continue the 100 day football countdown each day until kickoff day.
No player is assigned #13 at this time, so we'll highlight a recent transfer from Indiana to the Catamounts. Kris will wear the previously vacant #25 this season.
