You shut your mouth! Don't bring facts to this argument!

Yeah, because the facts would show while the team ran almost 12 more plays a game, it was because they were way less efficient in 2017 versus 2018. They also scored 5 points fewer per game, and couldnt finish in the redzone.

Hypotheticals that are impossible to answer are so dumb.

 

Have another one and drive yourself home!

USF football be in a different position had the Lane (Kiffin) train rolled into Tampa? I hate playing the what if game, but there is a parallel universe where the Bulls signed the offensive guru. Curious if they had better success in year 3.

Because they aren't worth two threads on the main board. 

Are we officially fans of the vodoo five now? 

I take full credit for this loss. Stacked Gabriel, Nixon in FanDuel. 

Financially these schools benefited, but its a pretty clear argument for the P5/G5 divide. No meaningful success outside of one season at TCU where they got left out of the final 4. Most of the teams have wavered in the 6-6 range. Rutgers (and really Cuse) have been embarrassing.

McCloud had 90 yards passing in one quarter to Blake’s 79 in 3 qtrs. Also Scatterbury has got go at Left Tackle.

He needed 91 to win the game

We are going to have plenty of national exposure in November with Taylor's Heisman highlight reel. 

This off-season felt like 2012. Mediocre season with an awful finish. No energy or excitement for the new year. 

Then this week came and all of the humidity talk and that Bell was going to turn chicken **** into chicken salad with this O. I was optimistic again. It didn't feel like 2017. But it felt like we would pull a USF tonight. 

That lasted an hour past 7, but only because mother nature is cruel. I should have turned it off when they converted the 3rd and 7 on the first drive. I stuck it out for one USF possession. 

I'm tuning out for the season. I hope I get to eat crow and come November this program is at least watchable. But the bright side is I won't have to buy bowl game tickets to donate this year

I know nobody cares but I've turned this off. Maybe I can jinx us into something different, but this is going to be 300 yards of rushing for Wisconsin. The only reason it won't be more is they take so much time off the play clock.

Oline looks overmatched but the route concepts seem like they are 201 at least. A quick out and corner. Did we throw one of those last year?

Did this really get announced 5 min before kickoff?

**** you strong. Some of us degenerate gamblers had bet on Ford in daily fantasy, while also trying to have a life. 

I am rock hard.

Breat Kean made his 49ers debut last night in Charlotte. Got the start.

Went 4/8 with 2 picks and a td before getting pulled.

NCAA denies the waiver, forcing AAC to devalue the brand with a new team, allowing ESPN to offer less next bid...

PFF have done a very good job of analyzing players and their potential at both the NFL and College level. They have an army of nerds watching tape of every player in every play of every game to compile the data. They were the first "media" high on Baker last year, and have been super high on Kyler since week 1 of last year. 

They aren't perfect. No scouting system is. I would argue their evals of potential college success are going to be more open to error because of how large the variables are. At least 25% of most rosters are new. The players are at an age where there are still massive opportunities for improvement physically, mentally, etc... 

I wouldn't be surprised if Blake finally puts it all together, and combined with a QB friendly offense puts up the numbahs to be much higher than 44. Also wouldn't be surprised if what we saw the last 3-4 years across three different teams is what we get.

Wilcox would have been a day 2 pick last year, and up until that point his career highlight was fumbling versus the Gold Knights.

He reminds me a lot of Travis Kelce. I won't say he is the same player, but if this offense is all its cracked up to be he will put up those type of numbers.

You're right. I forgot about that. Maybe working for xCWT would be something new, then.

Honestly he would make a great DC/LB coach in the Pac-12.

Colorado maybe?

I will join. Just gotta create an nfl account

This video could be useful when introducing the fairer sex to the game. If you aren't familiar with this man, he is out of the Dr. Philips area in Orlando

PS 3:15 for shots fired at Cent Fl.

Not so sure, a bunch of new guys that have never played together (granted extremely effing talented) against an experienced back court and team chemistry.  I am not giving up hope until I see the new fab 5 play a game.

It's a bullspen thing. You will catch on eventually.

This was such a great statement...

Glad to see you're back Capital H.

Its the slow season. I check once a week.

The bigger issue is I have my password saved on Firefox at work. My Firefox has crashed and taken 3-4 weeks to reload. I cant be bothered to reset my password on Google Chrome, and I am too productive at home to log on and reset

one undefeated season in which they played one quality opponent is not enough to build a program on.

that **** sure went to their head. it even affected many folks on the board here.

a few months ago some Bullspenners were predicting the shuttering of USF's football program, in large part due to our inability to compete with C's success... now we're looking at future schedules vs. Bama, Florida, Miami 5+ years down the road & laughing at C for soiling the bed.

long game vs. short game.

I actually think that UCF stuck it in and broke it off.  Alabama hasn't played an away game in thirty years (neutral site excepted).  They are so pissed at UCF that they break a thirty year tradition just to sign with UCF's rival?  Now, who in the SEC is going to go against Saban and now schedule one and ones?  They may have just lost the SEC for a while.  UCF seriously overestimated their position.  If they don't sign some SoS games quickly, they may well be in trouble.  I don't understand pissing off the same people who you are going to approach hat in hand and ask for a seat at the table.

A lot like our Big 4 bill board, a little success can go to your head.  But I think their AD has done some substantial damage relationship-wise along with their fans and media.  The whole P6 embarrassment, self proclaimed Natty, alienating the other coaches in your conference, only considering one and ones, and pissing off the great Saban.  I am beginning to understand why they are not Preeminent over there.

I was (one of several here) SHOUTING this when they declared their "championship". The other side of the coin was all "yeah good for them sticking it to the man!".

I am not saying sit quietly and accept your lot in life, but pissing off the money that controls who sits at the table was probably the worst thing they could have possibly done.

IF somehow a major realignment happens, and the table grows a little bigger, I will not be shocked when they are left out. Pissing in the grits of the blue bloods is only going to cost you money in the end.

It's a good accomplishment for this team, but let's be honest this is essentially playing for 101st place. 

The meaningfulness of this season will be over the next two, as now these guys know what it takes to win a tournament.

They rotate three guys in. DJ did finish with 7-54. 7.7 ypc is pretty good.

He also added 2 catches for 27 yards, and ran in a 2pter. 

Price was targeted on a 2pt play but it was incomplete, doesnt look like he made the stat sheet.
