That's ... a weird comment. I don't believe that; he can't even get tight coverage on his balls Well done sir.

FSU (pains me to have to do this) 55-17 Daniels Davis 287 Prove me wrong fellas.

Anything is possible and I'm, now, excited for Saturday. Thanks! Man do I miss seeing our team playing with that intensity... jacked up and ready to go. And that defense... what I would give to see that again.

Amazing.

It's pretty tough to put a positive spin on the Big East when Pitt lost to an FCS school (yes i know they're leaving for the ACC) and USF and Uconn are coming off loses to MAC schools. Look at the new BE schools coming in and most have been dreadful.

you mean taking a knee and settling for a field goal from the opponents 2 yard line on second and goal with 20 seconds and 2 timeouts left and then losing by 3 points isn't on the coach? he coaches scared. or calling 27 pass plays in humidity where your QB can't grip the ball properly instead of running the ball when he is averaging 6.5 ypc isn't on the coaches? what a joke great coaches can turn around a program in 3 years or less. Rich rod is doing it in one year. bill snyder top 10 within 3 years without "his" QB and coming from 5-7. I completely agree with you, but, I see many fans talking about "turning around" the program. It wasn't broken. It didn't need to be turned around. We had 2 losing seasons under Leavitt. We went to 5 straight bowls. To me, it looks like Skip has turned it around... and not in a good way. I hate Leavitt for getting himself fired. Loved him as our coach, at least for where we were as a program. At the end of the day, the program was too fragile to go through that change. Slick- I'm not being sarcastic here, but, you have said many times that the people on this board are ignorant and we shouldn't question the coaches because there is no way we know what we're talking about. Just wondering what qualifies you to make such a statement? Seriously? I think Bull94 has been beating a very logical drum about how this staff has used BJD, but, please enlighten us about how he can't possibly be correct. I agree we didn't need to be turned around. we are in year 3 and we don't seem to be any more prepared for our opponents than we were in years 1 and 2. our gameplans are baffling at times. players look lost and unmotivated. some blame everything on Bj and say let's see when he gets "his" guy in here. If it wasn't his guy then by all means replace him. there is no way a QB of BJ Daniels skill set should be throwing the ball 3 times for every time he runs it. he averaged 4.6 yards per carry last year. I have news for those who think Woulard is skip's guy. he has the same skill sets that BJ has and if he is used the same way then we will have similar results. there are plenty of coaches that win without "their" guy. Holtz likes to say we are a "work in progress'. how can we possibly be a work in progress in year 3 with all the seniors on this team? that's what you build for. an experienced team to show up every 3rd or 4th year. next year will be rebuilding with a new QB and lots of holes to fill. This was the year to prove he can coach here. This is spot on. The frustrating thing isn't that we are losing games, it's the way we are losing games. There was absolutely no game plan for Rutgers last week and no in-game adjustments made. The only reason we beat Nevada was because of better talent. Nevada's game plan was solid, and if it wasn't for Freakshow being a freak, we would be sitting at 1-2. Just for once I want to see this team be prepared, with a proper game plan. and execute during a big conference game.

USF 41-24 Murray Mitchell 491

Agreed. Skip couldn't motivate a fat kid to eat a piece of cake.

While I have very little faith that the coaching staff knows how to appropriately create a gameplan, manage, and call a game, this is one of those games that we will win on talent alone (see Nevada and UT-C). If we lose, I will go to the FSU game just to tailgate and have a good time with my USF and FSU friends, but I will be selling the rest of my season tickets and not attending another game until Holtz is replaced (although this will likely be a while with his unwarranted contract extension).
