Although the team did not score an offensive touchdown. There are more elements of the offense starting to open up right now. The middle TE passes worked really well last week. It is just too bad there are no issues at QB and RB. Hopefully the Bulls will push through and get a win at UConn then improve, recruit an rest during the bye week in preparation for Louisville.

He appears to be a better safety than corner with his ability to get all over the field.

Has USF ever won in East Hartford, CT? (That alone justifies the line)

Way too many injuries.

We should really try to so something to reverse the curse

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

So you can say, "I remember going to the games when USF was really bad, now look they are one of the greatest teams in the country" GO BULLS!!!

Thank You.

It is a good thing some of the people on these boards are not athletic directors. An 0-4 start is not the end of the world especially in the AAC which will be even more watered down next year. USF does not have the money nor the name brand to fire head coaches.

Jucos are needed on the offensive line but not at QB.

The talent in the secondary has been an issue for a few years now. This should not be a surprise to any true fan of USF football. With that said the future looks bright. But I am a bit concerned at the safety position.

USF has not scored more than 10 points over a FBS opponent since 10/27/12. Unless something changes this week with the OL and QB and USF does not give up 14 points on offense. Then I would say the final score will be 24 - 10.

nothing too lose but this is a failure of holtz and cwt not recruiting qbs cwt needs to recruit a top juco and freshman qb next year In order for the offense to work CWT needs to recruit OLs. Whether via JUCO or high school the offense is really dependent on tought/strong OL.

If he has a better arm than 3 scholarship guys, than why didn't he get an offer from anywhere? Aaron Rodgers did not have a scholarship to a major college out of high school.

you're forgetting the other side of the equation. obviously ideally we would have a top 5 offense and a top 5 defense that blows out every opponent we meet. that being said, there is less margin for error if you can't stop your opponent either. the rays have had success because their defense and pitching is better than most teams. they have never had a very good offense. I don't know for sure but i bet they haven't been in top 10 offenses at all during their run. certain offenses put a lot of pressure on their defense . west virginia, baylor, etc. TOP may not correlate to winning but I bet it can have a profound effect on your defense. when they spend a good deal of time on the field they tend to wear down. when you get a lead and can't kill the clock then you are at a disadvantage.when you go 3 and out quickly and wear down your defense it's easier for your opponent to score. A good offense can overcome a below average defense. You just have to win games 49-42 in a shoot out. It doesn't work as well the other way around. actually it does work just as well the other way around. Our D gave up 7 points to MSU and we lost. 14 to FAU. How good does the defense have to be to overcome our inept offense? Are they going to have to hold opponents to two field goals so we can win 10-6? Yet you fail to see how MSU's good D overcame their inept O. Their O had a 50% completion rate for 3.5 yards/completions for a total passing of 94 yards. Their total was 265. They turned the ball over twice, Their 3rd down efficiency was 4-14. Their D scored 14 of the 21pts Take away the 14 points and their offense still did just enough to win the game. Basically one good TD drive to our none. I get that defense can win you some games, but I would like our chances better if we were scoring some points. Your also failing to include the average starting field position caused by their D. The number of tipped balls they caused, their rush to our QB, stuffing the line, causing turn overs...etc...etc. MSU's touchdown drive was after a horrific 15 yard punt that put MSU on USF's 33 yard line.

At this point we have not seen all the elements of the offense due to the issues at the offensive line, the QB postion and the WR dropped passes. Shaw is averaging 100 yds/game. I can not remember the last time that has happend. Maybe Andre Hall and before that possibly Dyral McMillan. <See Below> When a team effectively runs the ball the team manages the clock. Pair that with a solid defense and that traditionally translates into a winning record. As far as I can tell this style of football has won through the ages. 1. Andre Hall (Jr.) 123.4 (1,357 / 11) 2004 2. Andre Hall (Sr.) 114.5 (1,374 / 12) 2005 3. Dyral McMillan (Sr.) 92.5 (1,017 / 11) 1999

Holtz did nothing.

Typically most team do not establish an offense to play from behind. Additonally most offenses are not geared for turnovers either.

Time to move on from this line of thinking. The boogeymen are no longer in a position to invade your nightmares anymore. Its hard for me. I live in New Jersey, minutes away from Rutgers. All I can think about is illegally batting the ball forward.

The football team may have lost on the field but Rocky toppled Sparty 52 to 48. http://capitalonebowl.com/#/matchups/1/7 Up Next Mike the Tiger of LSU http://capitalonebowl.com/#/matchups/2/4 GO BULLS!!!!

Yeah show your love for Schiano (Rutgers) and Wannstedt (Pittsburgh).

An overall 8 - 16 record over the last two years and this guy is a junior being pushed into a leadership position. Benching does not solve the problem teaching and guiding solves the problem.
