I'm a little late considering this thread has taken a turn for one of your posters being "the I'm too cool to be on a message board, but I'm on it anyway" but, what do you want a cookie? Syracuse didn't win a game last year, so yes....in a sense they were shutout.  They were horrible.  So shutting out a winless team, isn't much of a stepping stone to the world of greatness that USF obviously calls home.  :-? Yeah, "that offense" scored a 45 points on a defense that gave up an average of 25 PPG.  That "offense that could muster 10 points against UConn. You guys could muster 1 win against any kind of competition last year and that was a fluke.  Lost to a team that isn't anywhere near being a "respectable" BCS football school. USF beat Louisville (which I'm sure you guys will stick onto that for about 6 more years), Florida A&M, UCF, Rutgers, Syracuse, and Cincinnati.  I'm not speaking as a I-AA fan anymore. I'll go ahead and speak as an LSU fan now.  I just want to know where the hell USF has any room to talk about being a "great program" that can compete MAJOR BCS Conferences.  Louisville and West Virginia are the only teams in that conference that can actually say they are a dangerous team.  West Virginia took it to Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.  Props to them.  Go ahead, get your big head about beating a I-AA team and have fun getting raped for the rest of the year.  (If I'm wrong later on, I'll come back and eat as much crow as possible, but I doubt I'll have to)
