    St Louis, Nichols and Moffitt were by far, our best single year LB unit I saw JuJu Forte stretching shirtless during one of the ND rain delays - he was a 250 pound bundle of muscle. I wish that we had his size and strength on the line today

    It says that our culture is changing - I am sure that MK’s phone is ringing off the hook as a result

    The NFL also has revenue sharing and a draft, so any team with competent leadership can build a winner regardless of their market or other factors Nothing like that exists in CFB

    With all of the realignment moves, I would love to see stats on fan travel - It is probably not bad for football, but quite low for everything else Personally, I have only seen conference road games at UCF (football, basketball and baseball) and I have only ever flown to one road game (ND in 2011). My guess (at least for USF) is that I am not in the minority for fans based in FL As a side note, I clearly understand that all realignment is based solely on football television revenue

    From your fingertips to wins on the field hopefully! I also like to see us sign kids with offers from P5 schools - reminds me of the glory years and is hopefully a sign of brighter days ahead

    Rivals and 24/7 show him as a rising senior rated at 3 stars, standing 5’11” and 200 lbs as a safety Seems odd that we would go out of state for a 3 star DB (plenty of in-state talent at that position) anything special about this kid? (other than a brother in the NFL)

    Big East, hands down - while the AAC has consistently had 3-4 good teams, the Big East was strong top to bottom - with the exception of Syracuse, most teams had a winning record at some point. In 2006, 6 of the 8 teams went to bowl games (75% of the league), with Louisville winning the Orange Bowl over Wake Forrest and 3 teams finishing in the top 15. 2007 featured WVU beating #4 Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl (from ‘05 to ‘11, the Big East pretty much had 5-6 teams a year in bowl games) The best AAC season was probably 2017, where 7 of 12 teams went to bowl games (58%), with UCF winning the Peach Bowl over #7 Auburn and 3 teams finishing in the top 25

    This is not really an apples to apples discussion The offense under CJL was little more than controlled chaos and often, the plays looked like they were drawn up in the huddle using sticks and bottle caps. As a result, Grothe was often working with broken plays and IMO, he was much better outside the pocket than QF - scrambling around and throwing on the run (that did unfortunately lead to INTs sometimes) Putting QF at the head of the 2007 offense probably does not change the W/L record much (if any) The better question is what would have happened if Tags had been the OC in 2007 - that could have really been something

    Nice read I did not realize that Mangham amassed 15 TDs on nearly 700 yards, while getting only 54% of the touches The combination of Bohanon, Mangham, Joiner, Battie, Weaver, Horn Jr and Dollison gives us probably the third most potent spread attack in USF history - what is even better is that this group could be together for two seasons Hopefully Trickett is savvy enough to use it properly - if so, it may not matter what Shoop does with the defense

    Can’t believe that Chaz Hine was ‘08-‘11 - seemed like he played more recently than that Guess I am getting old
  11. bowman1
    Good example in this clip vs WVU in 2006 - he jukes two defenders and then out runs 5 to the end zone

    I voted for SJ Green because he was on the receiving end of one of the craziest plays I have ever witnessed live

    Considering that we have been conference mates with Cincinnati longer than anyone else, that is the team that I am going to miss - we have had some pretty exciting games with them over the years (even the ones that we lost) and they have traditionally drawn well at Ray Jay UCF was fun based on proximity (lots of fans from both schools at the games), which made the atmosphere more lively than other conference games

    Agreed - things would have been much different if Taggert stayed 2017 may have been a 12-1 year and the GCO would have rolled on from there My guess is that the offense may not have been as prolific under Oladukun and given that Taggert generally viewed the defense as the group of players on the field between offensive touchdowns, 2018 probably would have been more like 2015 for Ws/Ls

    This thread has something for everyone - conspiracy theories, expansion rumors, misinformation, doomsday predictions, personal insults, aspersions cast about our opponents, rants about the state of USF football What is not to love?

    Highest attended USF Football HOME Game of 2022? UCF Most memorable USF TD at Home? QF to RA vs FSU in 2016. Right out of the gate and we go deep Most Memorable USF Special Teams Play at Home? Mike Jenkins KO return against Cincinnati in 2007 for a TD. I believe that was the only time Jenkins ever fielded a kickoff return Most Memorable USF Defensive Play at Home? Selvie’s strip of Kyle Israel’s handoff vs UCF in 2007 Creative Nick-Name for OCS? La plaza de toros de la muerte

    Someone slapped Chuckles?

    Absolutely, those P6 helmet stickers are not only proprietary, they are custom made - somebody has to cough-up the dough for them

    That’s obvious - additional contract extensions for coaches who do not deserve it With these juggernauts set to join the AAC football season for 2023, I am sure that we will soon be hearing from VPMK that the contract for CJS has been extended another 10 years, with 5.6 million guaranteed up front Gotta make sure that we have that long term consistency in place in-order to deal with this stellar crop of new competition

    For some additional color, this is part of a 125 million dollar improvement project to a stadium that originally cost 55 million. In other words, maybe they should have invested a little more on the front end UCF’s Bounce House In Line for $125M In Improvements The football stadium is set to undergo changes such as a $5.8...

    IDK, lack of humidity in PHX could be detrimental to our passing game

    Several great players to choose from - I voted for Jessie (tough to beat his catch at Auburn), but nobody in USF history ran the Jet Sweep like Rodney Adams In the 2016 Memphis Game, it seemed like every time that Adams touched the ball, he was going 100 yards for a TD
  23. bowman1
    Guess that there will be no love for Johnny Peyton in the voting - one good thing Peyton did was getting thrown off the team so that MG could wear #8 (13 never would have worked for a staring QB in the state of FL)

    No disrespect to Mitch and Mitch, but for me, 89 will always be Taurus Johnson He had size, speed, great hands and played with a toughness often not found in WRs He had numerous big plays, including his TD catch in OT vs UCF in 2008 (35+ yards in double coverage at the back of the end zone)

    Considering his 32 TFLs are still the top mark since 2007, that is one of the best seasons in NCAA history JPP was more talented though - his batted ball/interception for a touchdown against Syracuse is one of the most athletic defensive plays at USF In terms of total impact at USF though, i would put several defensive players ahead of JPP, including Selvie, Stephen Nicholas, Kawika Mitchell, Nate Allen, Mike Jenkins and Sam Barrington to name a few Since this is a discussion of the number 90, Jarriett Buie was no slouch either
