Our defense struggled with an accurate passer in WKU. We’re fortunate that Alabama doesn’t seem to have a good passer on the roster. -
Our offense in the first two games got plenty of yards. We just don’t have the speed to match this defense. They just line up man coverage and our QB has few options. We’re left with short passes, and even with the gimme passes we can’t get yards after catch because their defense is there in an instant. We’ve had some success running, hopefully we have some creativity to break away from their defense because I don’t think we can do it with our receivers alone. Need misdirection, blocks, screens, etc. This is a game where the talent gap is really obvious and our options are limited as a result.
-
Yes, we had “Florida speed”. Taggart definitely had some fast players on his roster. Jeff Scott killed this team. We lost our speed guys to the portal this year.
-
They’re so fast, they just run us down before we get anywhere. And they take really good angles, well coached.
-
Their defense closes the gaps fast. All other talent and skills aside, they just have a raw speed advantage that makes it very difficult to scheme against.
-
Really don’t like RG3 saying teams like USF used to not be able to hang with Alabama. He clearly isn’t aware of USFs history of big upsets.
-
Oh. No, if one of our key lineman is out this will be bad.
-
Two minute drill! I hope we manage the clock to not give it back to Alabama unless it’s because we score a TD.
-
Our edge rush has been really effective and gotten a lot of tackles for loss and pressure on the QB. Im so proud of the defense! Truly an impressive performance by the coaches and the players!
-
If we can keep pressure from these blitz’s I like our chances
-
The game plan is to play aggressive. A punt touch back would be at the 25, and we were at the 35. Our D has held them so far. It was a long field goal, so going for the TD, while aggressive, really was a balance. Pint, FG, or go for it, none had a guaranteed outcome, so he went for the most points. Normally it’s be a field goal, but I think we need point. we can’t expect our Defense to hold Alabama to zero TDs. So having 6 points doesn’t get you the win.
-
Alabama coverage shutting down our receivers and we have some drops that really hurt.
-
I love those photos!
-
They hustle and know where to be. Our tempo has had them a little out of step on some snaps, but not enough so far.
-
We also need plays for Brown to get rid of the ball fast, their defense gets to him very quickly. We’d benefit from some gulf coast offense type plays, move the ball to space quickly.
-
Neither offense can move the ball. Alabama has no good QB, which is really unusual for them. The QB today has missed a few very easy passes. Alabamas speed on defense is shutting our offense down. The only points in this game have come off of a miffed punt that put USF in field goal range. Im very surprised Alabama has not been able to run the ball. Our defense deserves huge credit here, we’re getting behind their line from the edge and somehow stopping the run. Their QB hasn’t been effective passing, if he was accurate, they’d be moving down field easily, as I don’t think our secondary is a match for their receivers.
-
What a tackle there!
-
Meh, early lead means nothing. Remember FSU came in here and torched us after we scored first even keeping it tied 14-14 early. I think Alabama is going to just run the ball on us with the severe mismatch in their o-line to our d-line.
-
Well, Alabama green QB has missed some passes already. Maybe Alabama QB struggles give us some relief. USF needs Brown to be more mobile in the pocket. He stands in one position as the pocket collapses. He needs to move a little more.
-
I’d say they have not played a team with as good disciple or coaching. I’m sure they played lots of great matches ups in high school, and matchups are what matters. We just need to find one for the offense to exploit to score. Overall Alabama will win more matchups and therefore the game. Better man coverage, and receivers that are faster and get open. And some extra time for their QB because of a strong offensive line. It adds up, but it’s not hopeless for the underdog to find a way to make something competitive. Jim Leavitt showed us that and we need to make that part of our culture that transcends who our current coaches are and our current player roster. The Bulls always have a chance.
-
He’s warming up the offensive line and QB.
-
This is a stupid statement. These players know. They played against great atheletes in high school too. It’s not their first rodeo. They know what it’s like to matched up against freak blockers, rushers, coverage, and receivers over the years.
-
Jersey color scheme a throw back to the Leavitt era. Maybe some superstition, it’s the colors we were wearing when we had a lot of big upsets.

Conference realignment "Rumors" "tweets" "etc"
Gismo replied to Bulls1181's topic in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics
I have to say if FSU and UNC leave the ACC, and now teams have to travel to Cal and Stanford, it really loses some appeal. But I think I’d still prefer the ACC to the big12, but I think it’s still be good to continue the rivalry with UCF once we are in a better conference. -
He said he was concerned about recruiting to USF. Also, who can blame wanting to compete in the Pac12 and Big12 instead of the AAC?
