Analysis: USF athletics mired in mediocrity
dznick51 replied to Brad's topic in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics
That was a very well written article and assessment of USF athletics by M. Chip Carter, but he almost lost me when he started quoting that dumbass walrus looking jack off Gary Shelton! That man has never written an article that wasn't filled with satire, terrible puns and jokes. You're a sports reporter (I use that term loosely), Gary, not a comedian. -
I thought he would have wanted to go to McNeese State, he was the best player on their team when we played them last season!!

It should be against TBP rules to post articles from the Orlando Slantinel, I mean Sentinel.... A DB flip from Vandy and OL flip from Bama = A+ We signed double the number of 4 star players (USF = 6 UCF = 3) and 11 more players overall. ESPN ranked them at 52 and we are at 40. I thought they would have done better than that after the season they just had. We had a Top 40 class after a 2-10 season, I can only imagine how good CWT and crew would have done coming off a BCS Bowl victory and a Top 10 ranking!

And Josh Black Josh Black signed with USF unless there's another Josh Black on our radar -

We need a Running Attack to Win
dznick51 replied to Bull-Hornz's topic in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics
First off let me say, I'm no expert. UH was stacking the box with 7 to 8 guys and sometimes the safeties dropped down so much there was as many as 9 guys in the box daring USF to pass, it was clear to me that their game plan was to stop the run and force us to pass. With only 5 OL and a TE (some formations 2 TE or a TE and a FB) to block, UH had the advantage of unblocked players. Real easy to stop a running game when there is no one to block you. The only difference is that Matt White is a better QB than the other 3 that have started this year. After he started completing pass and moving the chains they backed off and the running game opened a little bit, but I agree it was no where near what it had been in previous games. -
Oh Please Can We Have Wally Back!
dznick51 replied to bulldozier1's topic in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics
Perhaps at Corner, but we have two Sr. Safeties. And Mark Joyce is terrible so... I couldn't agree more. That guy never wraps up, he's always looking for the "highlight real" hit. I'm not trying to turn blast him because he's not the only one on the D, but it's a big problem when the guy who is literally your last line of defense can't make a tackle. There have been WAY too many missed tackles by USF this year, including special teams. I don't know how many of you watched the UM v FSU game this weekend. FSU is a better team, without a doubt, but their D can flat out tackle way better than any team I have seen play. Miami missed too many tackles (not the only reason they lost) and it showed on the scoreboard. -
OK I am sold Mike White is the real deal
dznick51 replied to flsportsfan83's topic in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics
After last night's game from White, I'm just wondering why it took them so long to decide to burn it........ LOL - many people on this board and the broadcasters from last nights game predicted there would be people like you. Obviously, I'm not a football coach. I'm not out there everyday at practice and in the film rooms to see what's going on, but if he had shown any glimpse of comprehension of the offense and making plays in practice, I would have played him earlier. Our other 3 options did NOTHING offensively to help our team. While they were playing Shaw was our entire offense and we see how badly they missed him after he went down with the injury. I do understand CWT's desire to redshirt White, tho -

Yeah I found the write-up, but you shouldn't have to dig for a write-up for a game between teams in a BCS Conference, IMO!

dznick51 replied to flsportsfan83's topic in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics
I completely agree, let's just hope our fan base and big time donors don't call for CWT's job before he has time to rid our program of the Holtz New Error smell. That's probably going to be more difficult to get rid of than the MRSA outbreak over at One Buc Place -
http://sports-ak.espn.go.com/college-football/ I know it wasn't a game between to ranked teams, but neither was the night cap game afterwards (ASU v WSU) that has a post game write-up. However, it was on their NETWORK for crying out loud. Why is there no post game write-up from them? If I was Aresco, I would be all over them, far and away disrespecting the conference from the TV contract to the lack of even decent media coverage. Houston is going to be in the mix for the AAC title and a BCS Bowl bid and ESPN doesn't even acknowledge the game was played on their NETWORK. OK I will get off my soap box, I know I'm preaching to the choir!

This might already have a thread about it and might not even be the right location on TBP to start a thread about it; Mods move to where you see fit. I have Verizon Fios and saw this documentary, about if college athletes should be paid or not, on TV the other night. Very good and definitely worth watching. It should be available through “On Demand†if you have the Epix movie channel in your subscription. You can find a little more out about it at the following link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3057718/

The one thing that will hurt us going forward is if we have to play from behind more than one score and we need to pass more. It seems to me that our QBs (all 3 that have played) have a hard time reading coverage. Countless times I have seen them not noticing a blitz coming and looking for your check down or even, dare I say, audible!

Mike White's Redshirt
dznick51 replied to Bull-by-Marriage's topic in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics
Spot on, Kahoki! It's hard to complete passes when you don't have time to throw and when you do get time, the WR drops the ball or gave up on the route. Tice looked good in there on Saturday and so did Willie "I will carry your whole team on my back" Davis!! I would like to see more of those 2 going forward when Shaw needs a break or in certain situations. -
I don't know, I do agree that McFarland's play has been HUGE reasons why we have won the past 2 games. But as a former LB, I have to go with my boy DeDe Lattimore. He has been a tackling machine this year, in the right place all the time. Yeah his dropped INT that would have sealed the win for us on Saturday hurt, but that's why he's playing LB and not WR.
-
I totally agree we need to snap the ball with as little time as possible left on the play clock and just pound the ball all day long. Eat up the clock and keep Teddy and company on the sidelines. I just hope that Coach Chucky B doesn't decide to rush 3 down linemen and drop 8 into coverage like he did in the first half against UConn. If UConn's receivers could catch and their QB was a little more accurate we would have lost on Saturday. Plenty of drops and complete over or under throws to WIDE OPEN receivers, Teddy Bridgewater will light us up if he tries that garbage. I was disappointed that Coach Chucky B didn't use lots of pre-snap movement and exotic blitzes against a true freshman QB making his 1st career start to create some confusion!.

1) A few sacks by our D-line and less blitzing of DBs from the edge (Send some LBs up the middle) 2) Baseball 3) Rugby 4) Dr. Fountain 5) Rays in 4

Zack Darlington, QB, Apopka (crazy talk)
dznick51 replied to Who'sYourData?'s topic in Prospects & Potential Recruits
I opened it as someplace to put all the ZD stuff that's in Wanky's thread in but Old Uncle Trip must be napping. Ah gotcha! My bad, Bullwinkle -
Zack Darlington, QB, Apopka (crazy talk)
dznick51 replied to Who'sYourData?'s topic in Prospects & Potential Recruits
Here goes what? There's nothing in the OP to even start a thread. Am I missing something?? -
First off, this will probably be merged with another thread, but I'm going to start a new one to say my piece. I would most definitely be looking to sign with USF. You don't even have to be good to beat the QBs we have on our roster for the starting job. They can't read coverages, they don't notice the pressure/blitzes when the defense is obviously showing it pre snap and they don't even understand that on obvious passing downs that there will be pressure and the defense will be in pass rush mode. I know I can't put it all on the QB, the offensive line has looked piss poor in pass protection. Yes, I know some of this goes back to maybe they aren't being coached properly, but CWT and crew can't play for them all they can do is coach them, it's still up to the players to execute!! I one we were in for trouble after what we saw at the end of the year when BJ got injured, but I have seen no signs of improvement from Eveld or Floyd. Bench was really not that impressive either, there were flashes, but overall not good!.
