  1. So Illi got spanked by Penn State looking at the highlights. Was the game closer than the highlights indicate?
  2. I guess I failed to mention this, but you all helped capture...he gets to continue to pursue his dream while developing as a player AND being able to provide for his family. If they really like him they he can make even more. I really hope he gets to be ahead of the financial rat while pursuing his dreams. Save up and be smart about your money, nothing but positive vibes from back home Q!
  3. I saw that during the game but didnt put it together! Nice post!
  4. Yes, it wont change their offensive scheme, but it will change where they run. I hope we have a run game to control some clock bc the hurry up O was fast against Elon.
  5. I think that's the point some of us are trying to make...DL is undersized and didnt get much push against Elon. While our typical set wont be 4-5 men at the line, we will need them for GT and other run heavy offenses. I expect to see 7 in the box on our D and GT challenging us up the gut to take advantage... I think our DL is going to put a lot of pressure on our LB core, and the LB are going to have to step up to make up for our weakness at DL. As @Bull Dozer mentioned Hector and Senat are hard to replace. I hope I am wrong but that's the one thing I noticed against Elon.
  6. I haven't seen anyone overacting other than the slight overreaction regarding any critic I saw Nickel, 4 and 3 on the line etc against Elon... 3 down line men have to be even meaner than 4 men down, no matter the blitz package...particularly for run game. Nickel type D is great for pass heavy O though...
  7. Looks like no rookie made the active roster and those who made the active roster were on the practice squad before. He's on track to be on the practice squad. That's around $120-130k at minimum for work from Sept-Jan. Wishing him the best!! https://www.cincyjungle.com/2018/9/2/17809762/8-former-undrafted-free-agents-make-bengals-53-man-roster-rey-nickerson-tupou-erickson
  8. IMO this is not a matter of playing a vanilla D. For a 3-4 or 4-3 D to work those DT need to be nasty. They appeared to get pushed around by Elon and I dont recall their QB being rushed or pressured by the D line...
  9. 2018 Front Four: DE #4 Reaves 6'2" 248 lbs, RS JR DT #90 Kegler 6'2" 284 lbs, SO DT #99 Bronson 6'4" 282 lbs, RS SR DE #94 Livingstone 6'4" 263 lbs, RS JR Looking at these guys out on the field yesterday I would guess they have trimmed up and are lighter than those listed weights. I am particularly worried about our ability to put pressure up the middle i.e. DT.
  10. @JimUSFSig was in the bulls pen chat during the game with some of our other TBP vets and we chatted about the D Line quite a bit (or at least I did ). I noticed how small we looked up front and how our D line looked like LBs. I took the liberty of calculating our starting D Line's size: AVG Weight = 269 lbs AVG Height = 6'3" I am concerned as well I think we are going to get pushed around up front all year long. As @George_Bullnard_Shaw or @slick1ru2 mentioned during the chat, we might have to rely on outscoring our opponents to win games this year. IMO we will be in a shootout against GT next Saturday...

  12. Saw this http://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/index.ssf/2017/12/if_the_ducks_stay_in-house_wit.html I thought the Cristobal vs Leavitt poll result was kind of interesting...I also voted and skewed the results to the current coach that is lower in the poll ;-)
  13. I certainly haven't been following the recruiting trails but according to this article he has 'publicly named USF as the leader'...i guess your info is more up to date.?
  14. I'm really starting to not like this guy...hope this lights a fire under CCS and staff!! RB Jerome Ford (3 stars, Seffner, Fla.) https://www.landof10.com/nebraska/nebraska-recruiting-scott-frost-staff-offers-adrian-martinez-jashaun-corbin/amp
  15. In general all P5 thinks like this... It was funny earlier this year I told a colleague we were playing Illinois and he was like 'o that's a 'big' name uni'...and implied that they will be a tough game...I was like no they suck and I expect us to win. In general that is the same thing I find in my research/profession...its a form of elitism that exist among the have and have nots. It's pretty primitive honestly...
  16. Seems like not all their fans are dumb ;-) I expect us to show up and surprise them! TheRaiderfan 2944 posts 87 minutes agovia Mobile Not firing Kliff was a terrible shortsighted emotional decision. We will be exposed by USF but it will be too late to get into the coaching carousel.
  17. A few sentiments seem to resonant though for their fans - it's a lose-lose situation for them - we are a nobody
  18. Can u guess what they are saying?? https://247sports.com/college/texas-tech/Board/102951/Contents/Birmingham-Bowl-against-USF-111665041
