I'm calling throwback jerseys! 2009 style, maybe..

I've been itching for USF to to a throwback game or two. Its the 20th anniversary, let's see some classic looks! What better game than to whip out the 2009 FSU game's uniforms.

On a Thursday, for emphasis.

One of the games both my girlfriend and I have off, looking for a pair for the two of us. Not really picky on where, but this will be her first USF game! PM Me or shoot me an email, Breedwell@mail.usf.edu. Thanks!

They're finally making a new movie/tying up ends to the show Hey, Arnold!, btw. edit: Source, includes an instagram post from the original creator of the show.

D+? I mean most put us around the 50 rank... honestly looking at averages we are in some sort of C rank. B+ in the AAC is fair.

How the hell is Rosen #10? He was definitely better than Kaaya last season, and will be so next year. I like #1 and #2, but Rosen should be higher.

Apparently the kid is actually up to 6'4, 240# now-a-days. And besides, stars don't matter, talent does. Obviously we like seeing the 4's and 5's come along, but look at the production we're getting right now from 2* talent in Bruce Hector and Auggie Sanchez, for example. Get 'em on campus, then see how we can use them.

After that hurtin' Auburn put on Memphis, I'm surprised they're an F season. Should have maybe been in the C-D categories, chastising them but giving them a reach around at least for the bowl win.

Went to a game a month-ish ago, there was a guy with a map of the arena on the corner where Ferg's is. like, blown up on cardboard so you could see where his tickets were.

Don't need to live on the water, I think. We're all close enough that the beach is but an hour away. I used to door-to-door sell Verizon to people in Largo. A couple miles from the beach. Not all that great really.

To finish my thoughts: Flowers amassed 3281 all-purpose yards his rookie season (not counting 2014), alongside 34 total TDs and 8 INTs. How many fumbles did he have? I don't think it was many, if any. So, stat-wise Grothe is truthfully the name to beat, however, Flowers has a legitimate chance to match his numbers. But Flowers' numbers are overall better than BJ's. Experience matters. I'd say the triangle in sports is talent, experience, and physicality. That is, the body or the size or whatever for the position. Flowers isn't as tall or big as Woulard, but Flowers' height didn't seem to affect him all that much. Flowers is also plenty fast enough and has enough stamina to run high-tempo and make plays. Flowers has played a full year of college football, including a bowl game and in higher-pressure situations (against top-25 talent, unfavorable conditions like in ECU, playing in places like Doak Campbell, etc). Woulard hasn't seen real action since high school, and that's a different type of game with disparity in talent levels. Woulard appears to be more talented. Better arm strength, maybe better decision-making. Perhaps so much so that experience begins to matter less. If which is the case, well, we'll see what happens. This is a fantastic problem to have. however, I don't think we can take the team away from Flowers- he made this team his through leadership and willpower throughout the season. I think taking the team away from him without giving him a chance to lose it would be a disservice to his effort and set a bad precedence. I think if he comes out and looks bad against Towson and NIU, then maybe Woulard deserves some consideration. It should be Flowers' position- and team- to lose.

Flowers has the benefit of better running backs and good running back depth, yes, but I don't think the competition was all that watered down. He played against a very good Memphis, Temple, and Navy team this year (all of which ranked at one point, regardless of their bowl game shortcomings), as well as a decent FSU team. That's 5 quality opponents (granted, we only beat one of them), plus we did beat bowl-eligible UConn and all-over-the--place Cincy. BJ's best two years in terms of who we played were 2009 and 2010- in 2009 he beat eventual 7-6 FSU and 9-4 WVU (who lost to FSU, if you want to define that pecking order that year). 2009 we got spanked by all of the "good" teams (Pitt, Cincy, Miami, Butgers). In 2010 we had no real "signature" victories, and 2011 we beat ND at ND, but they were pedestrian that season (and we inevitably went 5-7). BJ's best statistical year is 2011- he went 215/365 (58.9%) for 2604 passing yards, 132 rushes for 601 yards (4.6 YPC), with 13 TDs, 7 INTs, and 6 rushing TDs. 3205 APY. Averaged out, BJ had a career 57.3%in passing, 2100 yards passing per season (we'll omit 2008 the numbers are so tiny) and 517 rush yards a season. So, 2600 APY per season. (http://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/bj-daniels-1.html) I'm not properly able to bring the other two into the mix, admittedly I've only been a bull since 2010. But I'll look up Matt Grothe really quick to figure out which season was his best from a numbers perspective: http://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/matt-grothe-1.html I'd say toss 2009, use his averages to compile data: Grothe's best season was 2008, in which he went 240/380 (63.2%) for 2911 yards, 18 TDs 14 INT. Also rushed 146 times for 591 yds (4 ypc) for 4 TDs... this in a total of 13 games. Equates to 3542 total yards. Grothe's other 2 full seasons, he went for 3502 and 3198 total yards, respectfully, bringing his three year total to 10242, an average of 3414 yards per season. Grothe also averaged 3.96 ypc and 695 rushing yards with 2719 passing yards. Let's look at Flowers, keeping in mind he's only had one full season: (http://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/quinton-flowers-1.html) 13 games, 162/275 (58.9%), 2290 passing yards for 22 TDs 8 INTs, with 191 rushes for 991 yards (per sports-reference) I'll complete this later, break time.

Trip, I'd love to see a throwback game. Golden Brahman on the helmet even. We've been around long enough to have some different unis!

USF 41-24 Mack Sean Price 425

I like the white/gold helmet look. I think it makes the oversized U look better, compared to the flat green.

"Hey, write up a quick ditty on this matchup"

Navy's so good, they'll win twice.

Check Taggart's tweets, he's posted a cool little graphic for each of the men.

That is a good point as well, so let me recant (slightly): if AW were to get involved in anyway, I'd like to see him used in WR situations. kid's got speed. He could be used with Flowers on some packages to involve trick plays. If he's got the arm, some flea flickers or double pass type plays would be cool. Wouldn't need to have DJ throw 'em.

I'm more interested in moving AW to WR or TE or something. If he's got the speed and he's got hands, he can be used somewhere. Lest, we end up with an Ohio State situation.

Antonio Andrews I believe was dangerously close to setting the record McCaffrey broke this season, didn't get any heisman attention. This was a few years ago with Taggart's last season at WKU (they went 7-5). I think Mack could go ham and get some attention. Kinda like how Matekevich just did playing for Temple. Maybe he doesn't get the trophy say next year, but the national buzz would put him in a good position for his senior year.

They look far better like this than they do in uniform. Give me the one in the purple, front row. Maybe the turquoise 5 over in the 2nd row. ----- Key to this game is to create some big plays to lead to momentum swings. Much the same with Cincy and Temple. If we can get out and punch them in the mouth early, it'll allow us to control the game with our tempo. Granted, their strength is passing and scoring in bunches, so we'll have to keep our foot on the gas. The other would be to get pressure on Doughty. He's got a quick release, but if we can get him to start thinking about that pressure, we can get coverage in the right sports and force him to make bad decisions.
