Quarterback Quinton Flowers has led the growth by USF

in Sports/Top Headlines by

When he started, he was a question mark. Lately, Quinton Flowers has been an exclamation point. He has grown up, and he assumed the leadership role of the USF team. These days, he is a force, and to stop the Bulls, you have to stop him. Consider the last four games by Flowers. No interceptions. Three victories. And a team that seems to be coming into its own.

The Bulls fell to 1-3 on the season, losing a 24-17 decision to the  Tigers on a night when…
