Toilet paper rooms?

Barnett terrible tonight...period. Hope I wake from this nightmare performance.

Good question...most passes are deep throws and BB is off tonight. Maybe get him into a rythem with slant passes, crosses, screens, etc. We are going to lose this game if BB doesn’t play smarter.

Get ready for the beat down during half time from ESPN, if we are lucky to get any attention.

Why do I torture myself

Scary...did not know that. Really only gig in town (Silver) from Palm Beach or Broward County to west coast of FL.

Barnett playing terrible...awful to watch.

And Silver Airway is the Ford Pinto.

Be thankful for the cancellation if for mechanical problems. Have a safe flight & GO BULLS!!!

Kicking was good, then bad, now good (or at least improving without the ghost (Vivonetto)).

Prior match ups were very close...38-30 & 27-20.

https://tulsa.rivals.com/news/behind-enemy-lines-south-florida-6 Behind Enemy Lines: South Florida South Florida QB Blake Barnett has thrown for 1,313 yards and nine touchdowns this season. USATSI Chris Harmon ITS Publisher Tulsa hosts No. 23 South Florida on Friday evening at H.A. Chapman Stadium, with the Golden Hurricane desperate for a win. The TU players and coaches feel like they have let several games slip away due to self-inflicted wounds, including turnovers and penalties. USF is 5-0 and utilizes former Alabama and Arizona State QB Blake Barnett in an up-tempo offense orchestrated by former Tulsa offensive-coordinator Sterlin Gilbert. To learn more about the Bulls, Kelly Quinlan of Running the Bulls on Rivals.com joined Inside Tulsa Sports for a brief Q&A session. QUESTION: USF is off to an impressive start this season with a 5-0 record, but what have been the main weaknesses or weak spots for the Bulls on offense and defense so far? Quinlan: Offensively, injuries have been the biggest issue. They've played games with one or two scholarship running backs, offensive linemen out and other issues. The offense hasn't found consistency passing either on the receivers’ end. Quite a few drops. Defensively, the run defense has been a bit of an issue, and they've tended to let inferior opponents hang around. Q: Who are the key players on offense for South Florida? Quinlan: It all starts with quarterback Blake Barnett, and he is the main cog of the offense. Former Florida running back Jordan Cronkrite is coming off a school-record day where he racked up 300-yards, and he can be explosive with a small amount of daylight. At receiver, Tyre McCant, Randall St. Felix and tight end Mitchell Wilcox are the main weapons. Q: Who are the key players on defense for the Bulls? Quinlan: On the defensive line, Kevin Kegler and Kirk Livingstone are pretty dynamic at defensive tackle and defensive end. Linebackers Khalid McGee and Nico Sawtelle have been very productive and cornerback Mazzi Wilkins has been one of the top cover corners in college football for the last two years. Mike Hampton on the other side of Wilkins is also having a big year. Q: USF is currently 114th nationally in rushing defense, allowing 212.8 yards per game on the ground. In 2017, USF finished 21st nationally in rushing defense. What has been the main issue this year in stopping the run? Quinlan: Well, they played Georgia Tech and the triple option offense in week two and gave up 38 points and a ton of yards on the ground. That really killed them, and Illinois ran all over them with a thin defensive unit. The Bulls were anchored on defense last year by veteran tackles and ends, and those guys are all in the NFL now, as is their leading tackler and top linebacker from a year ago - Auggie Sanchez. So, they have moved guys around, and there are probably more big plays being allowed there. Q: How do you see the game turning out on Friday? Quinlan: I think South Florida wins this game and pulls away in the fourth quarter. That has been their pattern all season, and I think that Tulsa will have a hard time with a mobile quarterback and a healthier stable of running backs for the Bulls. I know that offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert will pull out some tricks for his former employer as well.

I think people are setting mental expectations so that if we lose going forward it will be ok. People, including myself are mentally drained from the 4th quarter nailbitters. It would be nice to catch a mental break while watching our Bulls dominate another team for the entire game. We know it’s possible and the potential is there...that’s what makes it so stressful to watch.

1) South Florida Bulls2) 35 - 303) Jordan Cronkrite4) St. Felix5) 490 Go Bulls...lets keep this Top 25 ranking alive!

When we play teams like Elon & UMass I like to think we recruit better talent.

Or the run defense has made winning these games more of a challenge. I get GT is an anomaly because of their mostly run only defense, but stats don’t lie.

"The strength of their offense is their offensive line. … They're a team that does a really good job of running the football. We know this, it's gonna be physical and…we have to win the line of scrimmage. If we don't win the line of scrimmage, then we have no chance." — USF coach Charlie Strong. We haven't done a good job of this all season! I hope our defense has a come to Jesus moment and we are able to stop this run heavy offense.

Sad, but true.

More of the same from our football team on Friday night? Last year this game was much closer than it should have been. We were ranked (similar to this year), we had a 9-1 record going into the game while Tulsa was 2-9. The final score was 27-20. They held us to a field goal the entire second half. We came out strong in the first quarter scoring 21 points, to only score 6 more points over three quarters. I believe we played them at home last year. This game is obviously away. This game concern anyone else?

Not even on ESPN.com yet

Happy with punting. Weiss did what he needed to. Still wondering what’s the story with Vivinetto.

Not on topic, but anyone else notice that Antoine noticeably looked afraid to get hit on kick return. He looked like a quarterback sliding down to avoid getting hit. Not a big fan of his on kick return. I understand why McCants didn’t take the returns, but we need a good alternative.

Nice touch! Not why you do it, but I bet it feels good to be appreciated.
