At head coach Scott Frost's weekly press conference he spoke on this week's opponent and what his team should expect from the Bulls on Friday.
"That coaching staff has done a really good job," Frost said. "They're a lot better on defense than they were a year ago. They have some players who are making a lot of plays. They're very sound. They run around, like most Florida teams do. This is a good team. I don't have to do anything to get our guys ready to play this one."
With an expected sellout on Friday, Frost spoke on what kind of home field advantage he expects against the Bulls.
"I think we have a home field advantage when it hasn't been sold out, so if we can get it loud and rocking in there, that gives us an advantage," he said. "I'm looking forward to seeing it sold out. It's great to see that number of tickets sold and I hope every seat in the stands is full."
