    USF opens as 14 point dog

    in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics

    Posted

    I'm taking my winnings from the Rutgers game and putting 1/2 of it on FSU. I was figuring a 21 point spread would make it a tough call.

    You are obviously an astute better. FSU -14 is a sound bet period. FSU-21 is tough because I have seen many college and pro games where some td's in garbage time take an out of control game and make it look better by closing it within 3 td's.

    I don't bet often. But the Rutgers game was just there for the taking. We can't force Ball State to punt. Imagine was that FSU offense will do to us. Those on here that think we have something in reserve and keep this close, I just don't see it. And, have we ever been shut out at home? Don't see us scoring more than twice. Unless special teams or defense score, and there is no evidence from the 1st 3 games that either will happen, USF gets no more than 14 but just as likely 6.

    Doubt we will be scoring on a punt return now that Landi is back fielding punts again.

    Wow ND to the ACC! Now what for the BE?

    I don't blame Doug or Judy for all this conference shuffling and USF getting left out, all the so called winners in this war are established programs. My anger returns to all the USF presidents and hippie professors who were dead set against football for all those years. They failed to realize the football is an extension of the marketing department and the front porch of the University. If USF began playing football in the 1960s our fan base and donor support would be significantly greater. We probably would of had some form of an on-campus stadium, and its hard to imagine that we would not have established rivalries with either UF, FSU, and Miami and most importantly we would probably have been offered ACC membership during their early rounds of expansion. (In my opinion our best and natural home to eventually land our program)

    USF Football is just 15 years old. We have really not done anything spectacular. We were at the time one of if not the largest public universities without a football program. We also do not have a history of strong academics that would hold athletics back, so rising to Division 1 and having marginal success is not that great of a feat. We have a lot of potential and room for growth.

    I see your point, but I dont think we would be where we are today without Lee Roy Selmon. He is the one responsible for us leap frogging UCF. He was a great leader and had a vision for us. Without him we would have never left CUSA or even been admitted to CUSA. Sorry, but I feel your agrument is flawed.

    Actually we were already in CUSA for all sports. It was only right to be in for football. As far as getting into the BEast, you can thank most UL for that. They wanted us. Big East listened. I'm sure Judy and Mr. Selmon had a great presentation, but Louisville and Jurich opened the door.

    Hopefully Louisville will take us with them again if they get the Big12 invite.

    didnt this happen before to another big recruit? and it was like 3 days before class?

    Yep, third time in five years this has happened.

    who were the others....i forget...and more importantly- did they get accepted to another program and how have they done academically

    It's on GA's blog, linked above, but here's the link again: http://www.tampabay....ible-play-bulls

    those arent the guys i was thinking of. i want to say that this was someone specifcally denied by the Academic Committee and I thought it was a football player

    Maybe Mike Hayes from Texas juco who ended up at Houston?

    FWIW

    TALLAHASSEE ELITE 22 PLUS

    1. Shawn Williamson, WR, New Port Richey Gulf - Turned out to be the real find of this combine. Ran an impressive sub 4.4 (40) and totally dominated some elite defensive backs in the drills. Was truly one of the most complete players we have watched this season.

    2. Chris Rainey, RB, Lakeland - What more can be said about this tremendous running back who can fly, has great moves and has proven to get it done against top competition.

    3. Lorenzo Edwards, S, Orlando Edgewater -A three-year starter who heads into his final season as one of the most impressive defensive players around. Has the body and athletic ability to play linebacker at the next level. Performed well in the drills. (RIGHT).

    4.James Pouncey, OL, Lakeland - Burst onto the scene at the start of his junior season for the national champions. Very athletic, great feet and a tremendous combine tester.

    5. Lashawn Pouncey, OL, Lakeland - Pretty much can read the information above and the same things apply to his brother.

    6. Jeremy Brown, WR/CB, Orlando Boone - An MSLSports.net find last year, this Class of 2008 standout is truly a player who could emerge as one of the best at his position in the state. Tested very well and was tremendous in the drills. (PICTURED BELOW).

    7. Victor Campbell, OL, Daytona Beach Mainland - Another combine “freak†who puts up tremendous numbers and is impressive in drills. Needs to work on the defensive side of the ball as a nose tackle.

    8. Alton Voss, QB, New Port Richey Gulf - One of the top rated passers in the state who combines his arm with his foot speed and the ability to create positives. Needs to work on being more consistent

    9. Robert Marve, QB, Tampa Plant - Another of the top passing prospects who has the size, arm strength and throwing mechanics to be very special at the next level. Like Voss, he needs to be more consistent on his throws. (PICTURED BELOW)..

    10. Xavier Blocker, RB, Crawfordville Wakulla - When people ask about the future in the state, here is one of the top players of the Class of 2008. A tremendous runner with great instincts an the ability to use his speed and power. A gifted underclassman. Tested well and did a great job during the drills.

    11. Jeremiah Schwartz, FB, Orlando Edgewater - Has the potential to become one of he best at his position. Tests very well. A very strong young man who thrives on competition. Could be a “sleeper†this coming season as a junior.

    12. Melvin Payne DL, Mobile (Alabama) Leflore - 2008: Coming all the way from Alabama to compete against some of Florida’s best, here is another underclassman (2008) who showcased some skills in the testing as well as during the drills, where he made an impact on the coaches.

    13. Rick Berryhill, OL, Chiefland - Another rising senior that we uncovered while watching him compete at the combine. A very athletic lineman who tested well, but actually was better in the drills.

    14. Darian Wilson, LB, Crawfordville Wakulla - If the War Eagles are going to compete in the post season over the next few years, here is a Class of 2008 football player who has all the tools to give them an edge. Big, strong and very quick. He is the younger brother of former Wakulla star running back Briceton Wilson.

    15. Willie Ferrell, S, Tallahassee FAMU - At 6-2, 210-pounds, this was not only one of the most imposing defensive players at the combine, but this Class of 2009 standout tested well and was quite impressive during the drills. By the time he’s a senior, every college in the nation will offer him.

    16. Lovell Jackson, RB, Tampa Plant - Another athlete who used this combine to start the recruiting wheels in motion. Tested well and was impressive in drills. Coaches loved his work ethic.

    17. Marquenten Webb, DB/RB, Cottondale - When this team is in the hunt for a state title next year, this is a football player will be one of the reasons why. Not only a physical football player who runs very well, but he also can play on the offensive side of the ball as a running back and defensively as a corner.

    18. J.J. Laster, RB Graceville - In the 1B state title game last year, here is one of the players that most knew very little about. Ran for well over 1,000 yards during his sophomore season, he has speed and quickness and was impressive in the drills. He is also a Class of 2008 prospect.

    19. David Noel, OL, Albany (Ga.) Monroe - Another quality lineman who turned some heads with his technique, foot speed and strength. This is someone that the football fans in Georgia need to keep an eye on.

    20. Jonas Randolph, RB, Chiefland - If the state of Florida isn’t talented enough already in the offensive backfield for the future, here is yet another Class of 2008 player who did everything well. He is among the strongest players on his team and his quickness and ability to hit holes makes him a player to keep an eye on.

    21. Emmanuel Ware, LB, Daytona Beach Mainland – Another promising athlete who tested well and really impressed the coaches during the drills. At a school known for producing top stars, here is another that could emerge this coming season.

    22. Mike Quinn, QB/Athlete, Port St. Joe - One of the quality football players at the combine, he had tremendous times and numbers during the testing and was very impressive, throwing the ball in drills.

    Look at who Voss is ranked ahead of in the list--and similar comments are made about Marve's accuracy.
