So, they are saying that it is safer for the team and coaches to stay in Florida? I was under the impression that they'd ride the storm out in a hotel in CT. I guess the coaches want to be with their families. Too bad they couldn't just bring their families to CT.

Rex could've used a senior year to develop his accuracy.

We've known about Kean for a long time, so the flashiest position, QB, was already in place. We didn't need any RBs, so our recruiting was to fill a lot of needed positions that aren't very glamorous, such at O-Line, WR, DBs, etc.. I'm happy with this. Hopefully Kean comes in and can be a really nice QB, or they can put an offense in place where our current QBs can succeed.

My opinion of this year's recruiting class, and please correct me if I'm wrong. This year it appears as though we recruited a lot of positions of need. O-line, WRs, DBs, etc. This year's class just isn't as sexy as, say, last years, because we didn't need a stud RB, and the QB that we signed is a QB that we've known about for over a year now. So we just added depth and positions of need. Does that make sense?

Thank you! Of all of the topics that get brought up on this board, there is nothing wrong with discussing the whereabouts of a former coach or player.

Harbaugh will be the HC at Michigan. Do you think he will bring CJL with him? He's currently the LB's coach at the 49ers.

What team are you watching. White is accurate? When in warm ups or you watching replays of Pat White from WVU? He has been very accurate. It is not his fault when the ball hits WRs in the hands and they drop it.

What is complicated about the offense? I swear I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say it is complicated. WHAT IS COMPLICATED? If it is the pre-snap shifting, then remove it from the playbook because all it does is wastes time. Defenses are reading the play for how we line up after the shift. I will say 2 things. 1. White has been accurate this season. 2. If Flowers is a 4 star WR, and since his redshirt is already burned, then I say let him get some reps at WR... he'd still be learning the offense that way and he'd see the field more.

Just a small statement about the Jim Leavitt topic... If Leavitt had been charged with a crime, he probably wouldn't have tampered with the witness. But, we are talking about witness tampering at a place of employment, not criminal witness tampering. I wasn't inside of that locker room, but I will say that I'm really proud of what Jim has done as LB coach at the 49rs. He is passionate about football and is great at what he does. He is missed here. I recently saw a post on here with a photo of Leavitt and 2 former players. What do they say? A picture is worth a thousand words? NOW, that said.. could someone please message me a link for the Hope Solo photos? :-)

So, Coach T is a good head coach because he is recruiting well. Perhaps we need an Offensive Cooridator? Let Coach T be the face of the program and go sit in living rooms and convince kids to play here and let someone else design the plays. Ever since he's come here, I've heard nothing but how complicated his offense is to learn. Why? Does anyone actually know what is complicated about it? Please speak up if you know this. If it is the pre-snap shifts that are complicated, then scrap those because they do nothing anyway.

There was one play, I'm pretty sure it was the 4th quarter, where it was 3rd and and less than 5 yards (I believe 4 yards... and it may have been 4th down). The announcers showed the replay from where our DB lined up 7 yards off and ran downfield. The WR ran about 6 yards and turned around. Easy catch, easy 8 yards, 1st down. Now, on that pay. 1 of 2 things happened. 1. They were in a zone defense and the CB had a deep zone and somone forgot to come over and cover the short zone. Or 2. Our d-coordinator is terrible. Absolutely terrible.

I found it funny that on our last drive before halftime (before White fumbled), the announcers pointed out that USF was able to get all of those underneath passes because Cinci was playing back. I was like -- That is how we play all the time!

another for 9 yards on 4th and 2

1 for 8 yards

To continue on with my point.... In Cinci's 1st series, we gave up 2 underneath passes for about 7 yards each, had very good coverage on the deep pass that happened to be pass interference, and then we gave up a 3rd underneath pass whereas the WR broke free and took it 38 yards for a TD. Waiting for Cinci's 2nd drive so I can see how many more "dink and dunk" passes we give up.
