What was the biggest problem in our losses last year, or over the last 2 for that matter? Consistency at OFFENSE. Chalk last season up to lack of depth at RB and a good ole' helping of bad playcalling from Rod Smith. Smith is gone - replaced by better coaches, the stable at RB is now full, there are plenty of veterans on the O-line, Grothe has a full year under his belt, almost all of the recievers are back... the offense can only be expected to be better than last season. Cinci did not STOMP us, hell neither did Rutgers or Kansas. Even the Louisville game was close up until the 4th quarter. What was missing from each of those contests? A running game and good offensive playcalling. With McKenzey (sp?) joining the team and Ben Moffitt back in the middle and the secondary almost completely intact, I'm not worried about the defense. That is if they can all keep out of trouble this off season. ;D USF has made it's national headlines by playing the "Giant Killer" role. Pitt in `01, UL in '03 and '05, WVa in '06... And how many loosing seasons did USF have (in the regular season) since 2000? That looks less like luck and more like progress to me.
