Jim Rome just talked about the situation.  Pretty much ripping Masiello for being an idiot and nothing bad said about USF.  Mentioned a few times that you can't get away with that sort of thing after O'Leary got caught.

BB (UCF) will throw for more than 400 yards vs. our DBs. This group is awful on their best day. No ability to cover, poor communication and tackling is beyond poor.

 

My thoughts exactly. Not as worried about the bombs down the field as I am the dump off passes to playmakers like Storm Johnson. We can't tackle in space.

Beautiful touch

Just broke the record for missed tackles on a drive.

Taggart said he is exploring playing some players on both sides of the ball. "We're looking for answers ... a lot of season left."

Jeff Odom â€@ByJeffOdom 9h

Going back to the tweet about playing guys on both sides of the ball, Taggart said he has guys in mind, but won't name them.

Joey Knight â€@TBTimes_Bulls 9h

Taggart reaffirms he may seek some defensive guys to go both ways to spark offense. Wouldn't name names. #USF

I think this shows how bad Taggart thinks the talent is on offense. I wonder who he has in mind?

I asked Coach Taggart about Shaw & Bench's status for Louisville: He hopes to have 'em back, "but if not this bus is gonna continue to roll"

Just announced at the press conference, Bench is the starter.

He said on the CWT radio show last night that it would likely be announced at today's press conference.

I was curious to see what La Tech fans thought about the game and found this gem on one of their boards:

"This is by far the worst team Tech has put on the field in a long time. Holtz is a loser, bum got fired for making a winner into a loser at USF and now we have him.Yea!!!It looked last night like Holtz has already lost this team!"

I feel for them.

I am trying to figure out why everyone acts like he lost every game at USF by 50 points and left a roster of 1 star players.

 

7-5, 5-7, 3-9 ... the trend explains it all. 

 

 

 

I got that, but did you dig deeper and get that a full half of those losses were by 1 score and more than 1 were on the last play?. I believe with the right DC, he'd still be here. And that an older, more established football program he'd probably have another season to try and turn it around. Why? because they understand the ups and downs of programs and that no coach is going to 'destroy' a program. 100 years of UConn football, he took them to the 1aa championships for the FIRST TIME. It wasn't year 1, or 3 or 4, it was year 5. Two of those were 4 win seasons.

 

Isn't it the head coaches job to build the staff? I would say you could argue that it could be the AD, but Cosh was one of Holtz's pals. I agree that our fan base is impatient because we have been lucky to have the growth and success we've had for such a young program, but at the same time, did Holtz show you anything last season to make you think he was going to turn it around anytime soon?

taggart made the same mistake as  skippy

 

he didnt recruit a qb

 

he should have loaded this team with with top juco players

 

Loading a team with JUCO players doesn't seem like the best way to rebuild a program.

 

that's what bill snyder does at kansas state. has worked for him for decades. leavitt always filled in the gaps with some good juco talent.

 

J Williams, JPP, Andre Hall, etc.

 

I agree with filling gaps, but "loading the team" seems to imply signing a lot more JUCO players than just filling gaps.

LEAVITT or Holtz would have never lost that game LIKE that..............embarrassing.

Holtz would have easily lost a game like this.

He never did...

 

 

Given the team's downward spiral under Holtz and loss of talent after last season, there's almost no doubt that Holtz would have lost this game. We all saw the end of last year when BJ got hurt, and that was with Barrington, Baker, and the rest of the seniors still on the field.

 

 

 

You comparing losses against BCS schools to this?   He lost by less points to Miami.

 

We scored a combined 22 points in the final 3 games last year, oh and let's not forget the loss to Ball State, WITH BJ Daniels. While it's obviously not acceptable to lose to a 1-AA school, it is my opinion that Holtz would have also lost this game, based on his downward spiral and loss of top talent from last season. Laugh at that if you want to, but I think it's a fairly reasonable opinion.

Funny thing is, if by some sort of miracle we beat Michigan State, everyone will forget about McNeese... well except for maybe UCF fans.

UConn losing to Towson and UCF looking solid against Akron.

Hopkins not in the two deep at receiver.

Greg Auman @gregauman

So proud of BJ right now. Has always been hard worker and class act, just never used correctly. I never thought he had a chance in the NFL but really hope he makes the roster.
