Holy God, I just saw that UConn gave up 461 yards rushing to Navy today, and 603 yards of offense overall.

Geez, maybe our backs will have a McNeese-like day against this team next Saturday!  

PS - /you you loser, don't corrupt this thread with your negative crap.

I did not post one thing that was negative, I'm sorry if you took that way.  Anyway, UCONN defense is over-rated again this year.  A team with a solid or average running game can control the game and clock to defeat UCONN.

Although it's a bit early to talk about 2007, I do agree that Schiano has done a great job of building Rutgers.  They may have won the game last night and may be ranked right now, but I don't see where they are so far ahead of us.  they were certainly beatable last night and we still have 6 games left in the BE and we will have our running back and #1 DE back in two weeks.  So I'm not sure they have passed us at all.  Let's revisit that at the end of the year.

Looking ahead to 2007 when Rutgers has graduated 8 of their offensive starters including the best TE in the country and best Fullback (and leading receiver on the team) and we return just about everyone on both sides of the ball will you be thinking that USF will need to pass RU to be in that elite group?

Let's put things in perspective about USF.  We lost last night on a 53 yard field goal and a dropped 2 pt conversion to a team with 8 senior starters.  We were playing with a RS freshman QB in only his 5th game and first conference game.  We were missing our #1 and # 2 RBs.  We were missing a couple of starting O lineman.  The starting center went out in the middle of the game,  we are still missing our #1 DE and our starting DT (Clebert) was out.  On offense we started 5 Sophs and 1 RS Fresh and we still almost pulled off a win.  

My feeling is this team is coming together quickly and is  being built to be a BE powerhouse for years to come.  I think you are looking at something exciting developing here.  It will be very interesting and I think, fun, to see what happens when we can actually field something close to a healthy, complete team.

Yes, I agree, Schiano and the long suffering Rutgers fans deserve the accolades they are getting right now and being in the NY market, I think it's great for the BE, but don't underestimate what is developing here at USF because I think that would be shortsighted.

You got it wrong with losing 8 at the end of the season.  First only 5 seniors start on offense and one (tucker injured) has been replace.  Btw, tucker is the 3rd reciever to be lost for the season.  Every receiver that is playing right now were either backups or going to redshirt.  Tucker may be back at the end of the season and the other 2 (Daniels and Taylor) will be back to start next season.  Teel most likely will be a backup once Natale becomes eligible at transferring.  The defense has 4 senior starters (2 d-linemen & 2 LBs), but RU has a heavy rotation on the d-line.  The one outside backer may lose his spot to a true freshman years end.  Overall, RU has 8 seniors in the 2 deep on offense and 7 seniors on 2 deep on defense and 1 punter.  RU has 19 seniors this year.

I am not impressed...qb is aweful and theri db's couldn't hang with our wr's...

West Virginia - L

Louisville - L

Pittsburg - L

Through in a couple more L's where they WILL get exposed and they will do well to finish at 8-4.

It not even called for with this post.  USF played hard at home and came up short.   They should still have a good season.  Hate will get you no where.

because of the hype you will find this loss more humiliating

Yeah, USF really stuck it to RU tonight.

usf needs to worry about usf and not the big east

rutgers doesnt deserve to be in top 25 because they havent beaten anybody

Who has USF beaten?
