Lmao

That's not an official Usf account

I didn't see McGee out there but I'll take your word for it. I know for the late TD that got called back the LB core was Nico and Bayes. CCS put auggie back in there and they hit the throw back to bring it within two scores

He legitimately might be the 3rd best MLB on the team. I only use the term MLB because technically Reaves is a LB too. Bayes has been a disappointment and Danny Thomas flashes but has been inconsistent

USF 38-24 QF MVS 441

We don't always agree, but this is dead on. You want to know what's going on? Check out the film and see for yourself.

Traditional read option. Watch the backside end that's usually a good indicator. Also keep an eye on Billy Atterbury before saying Q made the wrong read. Went back and watched he line play and he played pretty poorly against Tulane.

Go back and watch our offense last year or even UCFs this year. It's more than the # of points. Look at the holes that are opened up on runs between the tackles by using misdirection and LBs losing their assignment because of confusion. There's none of that this season. It's simple, basic inside zone. We definitely miss MM and RA speed. No doubt. However we lack creativity on offense and are relying on sheer talent. Just because that's working against inferior talent doesn't mean the coach is doing a good job. You don't have to be a CFP team to dominate our schedule thus far. Its awful. I can only speak for myself, but I'm disappointed with the lack of creativity on the offensive side of the ball. When you're a team predicated on speed, your goal as an OC should be to make the defense make one wrong step and there's a big play. Seriously, go back and watch the first couple of drives UCF ran against navy. They bring a WR in motion and run inside zone and the holes are huge because the LBs are losing their eyes. They aren't giving anything away by doing that. It won't be any easier to stop because we see it on film. It's just overall more difficult to defend because you have to defend against more options. I'm enjoying this season. I'm happy to be a bull and 7-0. I'm not bringing this up hoping we lose and I can say I told you so. I just really, really hope I don't have to come back here on the Saturday after thanksgiving and say, well we should have seen this coming.

Yeah I think that was pretty clear. One long run doesn't justify 10 1-2 yard gains. I don't think people are saying don't run up the middle. However we aren't and never will be a power team. Therefore, our bread and butter shouldn't consist of power type play calls. Set up the inside zone by running the outside zone/jet sweep/bubbles. Not vice versa.

Blocked kicks simply can't happen on a regular basis like it is. I've never seen anything like what is happening with our ST unit Spin zone- Maybe we are holding our blocking scheme close to the vest? I mean, we haven't really played anyone. Why show Houston and UCF how we plan to block on ST?

Any guesses on what time this game will be? Would love for it to be a night game

I seriously doubt the problem is WRs getting separation. There was a play where we had two WR on the right hand side run verts and Q missed the throw. On that play, both WR were open. The passing game has no rhythm right now and probably won't until we stop slamming the A gap

Scott frost found at least one of the pages.

I'm definitely enjoying the wins. The thing that is aggravating is understanding that if this offensive scheme was simply left alone, we would be better because of it. He has shown he can change it up once against Illinois. He refused to change it up against SB which has been brought up. Complaining about play calling is nothing new in football and doesn't mean you aren't enjoying the wins. However, I hate the thought of this team being limited in terms of potential because of someone's pride. Note, the thought. There's plenty of time for him to prove that's not the case. He better not mess this up.

I really hope we don't play on running at #10 all night

Probably best possible outcome for us. Houston plays a close game with a "top 25 team" and Memphis wins a tough game on the road.

Ball game

Here's the problem I have with the "wear down the defense" argument to justify runs up in the A gap. It's not like running in the A gap wears down the interior of the defense anymore than other types of runs. We could run the exact same blocking scheme with the Winged Pistol look we ran last year. Read the DE with a man on man blocking scheme up front and you give yourself the option of having QF and DJ getting on the edge. When we ran our RPOs last year where QF kept the option and then would pull up and throw the bubble, the blocking up front was the exact same. You wear down the defense by being physical upfront, not running a 205-220lb RB in the A Gap against DT. Simply running more jet sweeps, bubbles and PA slants isn't giving anything away. That's basic. UCF will be preparing for those plays already, even if we came out and ran the Wing T the game before. Frost is essentially running the GCO this season. When you execute the offense we ran last year, there's no need to "hide" anything. It's based on options and reading leverages. You can watch all the film you want, but if the right play is relayed in from the sidelines to combat whatever the D presents, it's essentially unstoppable. Gilbert isn't terrible, there are some really bad OCs out there. However, he needs to take a peak at what those boys in Orlando are running. Wouldn't take long to implement, the boys already know the plays. -End Rant

App St Boise Colorado St SDSU if any of those fail: NIU, Air Force, Middle Tennessee St, WKU

UCF losing to navy is really a no-win situation for us. It still will come down to the Black Friday game for the conference if they don't lose another conference game and only weakens our SOS

Can't imagine there will be a big crowd this week....

It wouldn't change the amount of games on the road, just the quality of such. I don't think you lose any recruits by playing Michigan on the road instead of traveling to UMass or San Jose St. In fact, you probably gain leverage

Jaymon got banged up a couple times

That's the result of a power, grind it out offense

Fair enough. Then Elijah Mack or Sutton.
