Mack and Sands will get their carries. I'll be extremely surprised if Bell plays on the offense with no injuries; however I bet we see him on special teams. Of course that could mean Bell forced his way onto the field with great practices.

IIRC, Allen left late in the process, around NSD. There really wasn't anyone to look at on the outside with such a short turnaround to spring ball. Think Tags made the best play he could, and that solidified that RW wouldn't look elsewhere since his talents as a recruiter were definitely a plus. Of course hindsight 20/20 and he was clearly overwhelmed with the Navy game being his best gameplan for a half. Can't help but wonder if Jancek would've been a better playcaller, yet he apparently fell off the face of the earth. Feel worlds more confident with this unit with this staff. Again, USF can afford the offense to take a step back if the defense takes a step forward. Heavy running teams will always give a 4-2-5 fits ; but I don't believe we play a team with a proven run game that also has a proven QB. So they can stack the box against the UConns and Temples of the world.

No that was Mike Lefko, but I don't believe he's back either?

Kiffin just needs to prove that he can build a program in recruiting and not be "looking at the next job." It always seemed like there was a point where he stopped caring . I applaud FAU for taking the chance; especially with being in Florida and having solid talent around you.

Huh is at least open, saw a bunch of folks talk about the food. **** I was in Epsilon (E-City) 08-09 and had several friends in "Dirty Delta."

DJ and Tice are downhill runners so we will see a lot of running between the tackles. Our line is beefy enough for this and we had success the last few years with Tice, DJ and Mack running between the tackles. There will be some sweeps and outside running as well, but most of the East/West stuff will be utilized in the passing game. Plus, Q is gonna do Q things so that will naturally have opposing defenses on their heels.

USF football doesn't wear a gold jersey or pant, and therefore that doesn't belong in the color combination. I'm not going to lie, I love gold as an accent, I wouldn't even mind a gold jersey if there was loads of green involved. Having a "gold out" is too reminiscent of UCF. It's clear, even in the new merch, that athletics is pushing a green/white/lime. All gold is specifically an accent; and only used on a green field. Also, gold shirts always look like the urine UCF used to wear, can never quite get it right. That's why I'm in love with the gold chrome.

I'm ok with this bowl now! edit: not us playing in it this year, but it as a whole.

I mean, the equipment truck is leaving tomorrow for SJ, so it wouldn't surprise me. They've used the Gold helmet with white shirt and green pants combo before.

Move in day was yesterday and they were hyping the pep rally and team; the buzz is there but will the students put their money where their mouth is? I honestly think so yes.

McCants close second, could be first after this season IMO.

They're not until October.

Man am I the only one that wants to see Auggie kickass and make it as a lunch pail guy in the league? He looks like he's having fun!

I'm anxiously waiting for game 1, as that can tell us a lot about how this team runs together. Dropped passes, missed assignments, confusion in any unit, could all draw the line for where the team is at. Of course improvement happens, and frankly the big dogs don't come knocking at the door until October so they have time to figure it out; there's just a ton of expectation for a first time coach. As for the defense, don't forget we had a YOUNGER team and core when Tom Allen made that a top 40 unit; the reason the defense was bad was because of Raymond Woodie. BJM and CS will put most of those same players in the right position. I understand you have to pay attention to trends but sheesh.

I will say I talked to someone who works with the alumni association/president's office and they mentioned the sales for this event we're through the roof.

I thought this was introducing him to TBP at first haha

This is the upsetting double edged sword that we have to embrace. Don't forget, if I HC gets hired away, it's because he did some **** good things. That also means that other great up and coming coaches will want to file in. Consistent success is what this program needs to get to the next level; and it'll be great if the program achieves that type of success.

Maybe I'll go? Never been ever.

This sounds like a great opportunity to say AMARRI Jackson did not push off. Also, who knows what's gonna happen but starting in the top 25 is a huge benefit considering WMU rose to #12 (before losing the cotton bowl) and they've weren't ranked until week 9.

If you pay the sub fee you can omit the ads.

13!!!!!!!!!!

Bet Bayes finally lives up to expectation under Strong/BJM

The media preseason hype train hasn't been as full throttle as it is currently. 2006-2009 I don't recall the amount of media presence honestly. Part of that isn't schedule, conference affiliation, star power, social media....

THE SEASON IS HERE!!!!! I love these but feel so bad that we're gonna pound em. the team pervs!
