Great point on the penalties E.T. that was much improved. And one of those penalties was that horrible pass interference call which should have been a no call.

Read the posts KoolBull, no1 is making excuses, Penn State clearly played better than us, but on the same token, I think we played better than many were expecting. Just because we point out that there was a bad call or two doesnt mean we are making excuses. Hell, even if we had recovered that ball and drove down and scored, we would have had to do it again and all in under a minute, almost impossible. But that doesnt mean we give the Offcials a free pass for botching a call.

I think Hill was ranked like 9 as an Athlete, and 18 or so at QB, while Grothe was ranked like 22 at QB.

He looked awesome. I was also impressed with our secondary. They were much improved, and that was without 2 starters on the field.

Granted that ball was thrown slightly behind the reciever but this is BIG TIME COLLEGE FOOTBALL, not pop warner. The Reciever turned around and got his hands on the ball, but then let it go through his hands. If you want to play at this level as a WR, if you get your hands on the ball you have to make the catch, regardless of wheather or not the ball is on target or not. If you get your hands on the damned ball you catch it! I have been one of many on this board who has been very critical of PJ in the past, but that was the fault of the reciever. You have to give credit where credit is due, and PJ deserves it today. Not only was he much more accurate than he has ever been, his decision making was greatly improved. Several times he was able to use his feet to roll out of the pocket when he felt the pressure, but he still had the presence of mind to look for a reciever downfield to turn a sure sack and loss of yards into a positive gain. Something which he would have never have done in the past. And on the one occassion when there was no open reciever downfield when he rolled out, he tucked the ball in and ran for then first down and the sideline, another very intelligent play. I was also impressed with the way he stepped up into the pocket and checked his recievers down field with confidence, he looked pretty good in the pocket. He made a lot of very good decisions, he really looks to have matured as a football player. My problem with him last season was that even when he looked good, it almost seemed like he was getting lucky...throwing a bomb downfield and hoping Peyton comes up with it. But this season he looked like a legitimate QB, making his own success, not relying on luck. Obviously there was room for improvement, but he looked very good. You have to put it into perspective, this was one of the best defenses in the country guys. Maybe someone should look up just how many teams over the past 2 seasons have scored 14 points on that Penn State D, I gurantee it is a short list, and now we are on it.

Andre hall 72 rushing yards 32 recieving yards. Not bad against the Penn State D. He had a better day than Adrian Peterson.

That onside kick call was horrible, as well as that spot they gave robinson earlier in the game to give him the first down on the 3rd down conversion. Although they gave us a really bad spot to late in the game as well. I look foward to the Big East officials, because I am certain that onside kick call would had been overturned if it went under review.

I thought PJ played exceptionally well today. He only had a couple of bad throws which were thrown low, but were still catchable. He was much much more accurate than last year, but what I was most pleased with was his decision making. He played much smarter football than I have ever seen. To be fair to Denson though, the Offensive Line played very well today against one of the best D lines in the country, however then didnt really settle in until long after Denson had been pulled out. So I dont think we got to get a real good look at Densons abilities. Although his release when passing the ball looked a little awkward, so it will be interesting to see what he does at FAMU. All in all, I am very pleased with how the Offense played, considering with the exception of Miami this will be the toughest defense we will see this year.

Dont forget Johnnie Jones.

They were very impressive, especially thier offensive line, giving thier QB tons of time. And #11, I can't remember his name but he had a couple of incredible catches, especially that one into double coverage where he went up and grabbed it out of the air with his 40" vertical leap! The QB played well too, however it seemed like he was taking way too much time to release the ball when he was passing, and the secondary was able to read it fairly easily and close quickly. If he could work on that then thier recievers could get a lot more YAC and really move the ball well. Great game!

Strength in numbers bro, PSU will not throw out 1,000 South Florida fans if everyone participates. But if everyone leaves you out in the cold and you are the only partaking, you are most certainly gone. Good Luck

Hey, congrats flsportsfan, how much scratch did ya haul in?

Well if those are green pants, then I like it. Anything but White on White.

90 yds

That was actually a funny post. However, I hope everyone else up there is counting us out as well and we go up there and pull out the win like Toledo did.

The "Bullies" nickname worked well for the Philadelphia Flyers in the 70's when they were feared throughout the NHL for thier toughness and physical play. They were known as the "Broad Street Bullies". They once even played the Russian team in an exibition. After playing the first period the Russians refused to come out and play the remainder of the game. However my personal opinion is the name needs a little more, the nickname "Bullies" by itself sounds a little juvenile or something, I can't quite put my finger on it. I think something like the "Brahman Bullies" or something to that effect would work better. And is more identifiable.

What is going on with Johnny Peyton? http://www.sptimes.com/2005/08/31/Sports/Bulls_prepare_for_ext.shtml

We have USF alums who have appeared on The Real World, can you get more successful than that? I submit that you cannot!

Only CJL can talk for twenty minutes while actually saying nothing.

That chatroom was a lifesaver last season when the TCU TV signal went out for nearly the entire 2nd half!

Thanks Greg, I missed that when I originally read it. Well good luck to him anyways.

LOL that really isnt a "fearless" prediction is it, considering the line is bout 26 pts.

Does this guy really think he is going to beat out Brohm for the starting QB job in Louisville? What an idiot.
