Genuinely surprised he gets the nod, considering how long particularly Kean has been here. That can't feel good.

Either the other 2 guys are really untalented or Barnett's that good. 

Having said that, the depth at this position is terrific. If Barnett goes south, I'd love to see Oladukon step in there.

Great news. Really excited about his potential.

If you are going to write a worthless click-bait article like this at least have the decency to provide a quote from the one player that was accommodating enough to talk to you. 

Somebody's a Pats fan..

Thanks OP for posting. Good to see!

One of the best games I've ever seen. Course we were all disappointed at the end however that's the best I've felt coming off a loss maybe ever. People will remember that game and therefore both schools.

This guy I'm most excited about in the class. Really pops off the tape.

To me the bigger loss would be Harlan here. Some don't like his basketball hire(s) with Antigua going pear-shaped. But I think he has done more good then bad and we need a little stability here. 

I'm still impressed how he drummed up that attendance for the Cinci homecoming game. Need more of that effort for each gameday.

If this is money related, fine, but the uniforms the last couple of years have been excellent, by far our best ever. Miss the green and white helmets from last year too. Can't believe we would want to change if it's style related. 

Played his best game on the biggest stage. It's so rare to see a world class athlete so incredibly locked in. It takes your breath away. Some programs never have a player like that. 

Thank you Q. 

I know some are bitter about this defeat. 

However we played our best game of the year, in the biggest spotlight. I think we hugely increased our profile, twitter was ablaze with this game. Folks saying it was the best game all year long. 

Also our best player played his best game on the biggest stage. He was utterly magnificent to watch, and UCF still won, which means (as we all know) they are WAY better then 15. It's funny, Flowers doesn't have that signature big win like our past QBs, but there is no doubt he is our best PLAYER in history.

Look, we lost to our rival, with the biggest stake on the line. We miss yet another championship game, UCiF are likely to play in another glorious bowl, I'm crushed. But if we were going to lose (and trust me I used to take losses harder then most), this was the way to do it.

GOOOOOOOOLD

Biggest game in our history, no doubt. If we win it, the next game will be the biggest. If we win that, the next game will be the biggest.

Win out, and we've won the 3 biggest games in our history consecutively.

Auggie Sanchez has his faults but he will be a HUGE miss next year. He's been a great for USF. 

I know, do we really need another thread, but I feel this deserves solidarity. 

3 TOs. Back going back to Tulsa 2nd half. Ball on 30ish, and we KNEEL. 

What happened to the killer instinct from last year?? Gave Tulsa all of the momentum going in at half, boos ringing out, USF heads hanging. Even Q looked befuddled. I simply dont get why we don't attempt 1 play at least???

BTW, we haven't been in many dog fights this year.  The Tulane game got close late, but other than the Houston game, what other dog fight were we in at the 5 minute mark of the 4th Quarter?

Tulane. Hell of a comeback they almost put together. 

Sad we can all see the problems but the man in charge can't/(won't?)..

I doubt the argument that 'the players aren't executing' is an excuse anymore. 

By the way, saw our 1st pass over the middle that I've seen in about 3 weeks. First down to MVS. Sooo much that we could do to challenge a defense. 

Could not believe the lack of game awareness. Although should have realized when we run our offense without reacting to in-game adjustments. When you have a top 5 NFL pick at nose, DO NOT RUN DRAW PLAY 95% OF THE TIME. We are not smashmouth, we are speed.

We run draw play on 1st down 95% of the time. Not hard to gameplan against when you have talent.

Offense has been so vanilla. Matter of time before our wastefullness caught up to us.

Watched Birden play vs Memphis, he will definately be missed. Catalon is a beast though.

Worried most about Postma's running ability. Really surprised me some of the runs he had against Memphis when things broke down.

It's still a conference game with a foe we have beaten more often than not.  We have some artificial numbers in front of our names, eh.  It's not a "championship game".  It's just another game - except for the newly created trophy that goes with it.  It won't push the brand any further forward when the fight at the kids table has a victor.  

Agreed perhaps it won't push our profile as high as some of our past wins, but this late in the season with a potential new years bowl on the line, against a ranked arch-enemy, I'd say it has to be our biggest.

In my eyes a win-win. Obviously would loved to be ranked higher however it just means a win over them is that much more impressive (if we all keep winning). Could be a top 10 match-up, biggest game in our history.

There's just seems to be a total lack of instinct on offense. Just going through the motions. It's so wasteful when we have dynamic players, I bet the sweep/reverse would have worked a treat with Antoine.

The offense is soooooo wasteful. So many points once again left out there. HATE the draw up the middle.

That said..... 7-0.

I'm hoping the enthusiastic advertising from the Cinci game is replicated, however somehow I'm seeing a drop. Hope not though, reckon Houston should be a draw anyway with its recent giant killer status. 

Lots of upsets ahead of us. Where does this put us?

I'm hoping for 15 AP, 14 Coaches. UCF could shoot right up too. 

Also BCS comes out this week, not sure when.

Agreed, great to have such a consistent kicker (again). Unheralded but absolutely clutch.
