Cmon man...

Its not an analysis, it's just posting the final scores.   The attempt at analysis from bullsfan1983 was also flawed.   Late scores to make it more respectable?  Against Temple?  Our last score was with 5:31 left in the 3rd when our starters all came out.   Temple scored in be 4th faints our reserves so it's actually the opposite.   We chose rest over style points all year.   We haven't had a bye in forever and have  significantly short week for this next game.

Already providing your excuse for a loss gives me hope.

How did we fare against common opponents with a winning record? 

We don't have an adequate sample size. How will you fare on Friday?

How did you fare against teams where 83% or greater of its 22 starters are seniors? You are about to find out....

He gave you credit in the post. He said ECU, UConn and Temple scored late points to make the score less bad for them. So yes, more respectable for them. Reading comprehension....

Go easy.  That’s the part of learnin’ they’ve sacrificed over at the Orlando school.  Budget cuts and all.

Go on youtube and watch some of their games.

They are going to be very surprised come Friday. The Bulls are going to tear them a new one!

Time to send them back to what they know so well: DEFEAT and HUMILIATION

If Q is doing this on Friday we know things are going well-and that the offense has opened up again because he'll be having FUN!

This was from one of my favorite QF passing TDs last year.  It was a thing of beauty.

I would take into account that in ALL of those games, the 2s were playing for the gnats in the entire fourth quarter and a portion of the 3rd.  It is really tough to infer that because we had similar margins of victory that we are similar teams.  I have no idea what is going to happen this Friday.  Truth is that this will be our first significant test of the season.  We could win, or we could get blown out.  I am not sure any result will surprise me.  

We had a lot of our second string playing in most of those games 4th quarter as well.  

To account for that: 

After 3 quarters, USF led those opponents by +97

After 3 quarters, UCF led those opponents by +106

A 9 pt difference, or again, about 2 pts a game.  

Also, USF out-gained those opponents by 891 yards,  UCF by only 464.   

Not trying to do an indepth analysis here, just really pointing out that by common opponents, these are two very evenly matched teams, and any perceived "divide", may just be that.... perceived.... and not reality.  We'll find out in a few days.
