Well if you accept that Rod Smith coached Blackwell, he is also responsible for the development of Ronnie Banks and Pat Julmiste. So that makes him one out of three. You can argue all day whether it's coaching or execution. The bottom line is the offense didn't produce in key situations. If the offense was up to the standard of the defense, what do you think USF's record would have been?

JEWBULL I don't know about flights into Lawrence, but I have flown to Kansas City and driven to Lawrence (it's about 1 hour). Lawrence is a pretty cool town. KU's campus is nice. OT - Lawrence is famous as the sight of a massacre by William Quantrill and his raiders during the Civil War.

No Excuses CoolBull, We'll be there.

I have all my senses TripleB. Why don't you tell me what, other than it being the seniors' final regular season game, the WVU game means. If Louisville wins, we are all but locked into the Meineke Bowl. If UCONN wins, we may be out completely. So what does this game affect?

UCONN outplayed us?? No way. Check the box score. In the second half, the average starting position for USF was its own 49!! That's on 8 possessions! UCONN's average starting position? Its own 19! That means you need what, about 25 yards to get in field goal range? USF's average gain in those 8 drives? 7 yards! So don't even try to tell me UCONN outplayed us. This is absolutely on the offense and offensive coaching staff.

Sheriff, I'm with you. An absolutely inexcusable loss. And since the WVU game is meaningless, they may as well start C. Hill. And get Smith out of there. Let Coach Gregory, Franks or even Barnhardt call the game.

I completely agree. We're sitting at Selmon's watching this disaster unfold. Right before the 4th down play, my wife says "here comes the reverse." "Even that idiot won't call the reverse here," I reply. Sure enough there it was. So if my wife knows what's coming... Then we throw long with plenty of time and timeouts? Rod Smith should have been fired in the locker room.

2 For us. We'll be driving down tomorrow.

E.T., I believe you are correct. Wouldn't you love to see USF in the Sugar and FSU somewhere as the 4 loss ACC champs? What would the media say then? Bull_94 - I'd rather play the schedule we played as it helps to develop our young program.

The lack of TV coverage this year has really made my investment in Gameplan a poor one. 2 games so far and it looks like that will be all.

Beastie, that's typical of drivers in Atlanta - completely unaware of anything going on outside their own cars. Was she fixing her make-up also?

Shoop, I looked at the game stats and 10 wideouts played (not counting RBs and TEs). Only 5 wideouts had catches. Hall with 7 catches (out of 18 completions) was the leading receiver. Seems to me that you are on to something. Surely out of 10 guys, someone can catch consistently. I think the wideouts need enough game reps to be comfortable and "in rhythm" with the QB. If we are constantly rotating, how comfortable can they be? Maybe we should play fewer wideouts. Then perhaps some will become "wide receivers."

Look they turned the ball over 3 times in USF territory. The result was 21 points for Pitt. This has happened in each of our 3 losses. Yeah the offense was terrible once Pitt took away the run, but stop giving the opponent short fields and the result today could be much different.

That's 5 reverses for maybe 2 total yards. Brilliant! Guess they spent the off week recruiting. They sure didn't do an effective job of game planning.

So do you all think the endzones would say "Buccaneers" for a Notre Dame game? How about the white flag at the 50? TSA should get "very interested" in improving their hosting of our games.
