I don't think the talent level on our team is that bad. QB and DL need a lot of work but I'm giving CJS a mulligan for this season.  We really have to be patient all I want is improvement year over year like we say with Taggart.  I think we will be ok in 2 years once we slowing drain the CCS recruits and we find a solid QB

Sands was running with a purpose .. really liked how he played this game 

I don't think our talent level is that bad that we can't beat UConn but its our coaching that our players have to overcome too. So many of us thought we should beat UConn we weren't that confident because HC coach sucks.  Today gave me a glimmer of hope... KEYWORD GLIMMER.. that maybe just maybe we won't be a a complete disaster this season.  Alas I know I have only set myself up for failure next week lol

That’s the only thing keeping me from a meltdown lol.. I believe in mike kelly 

why are people complaining who we got these turnovers from? we legit hadn't won a game in our last 8-9 tries .. ill take any win at this point smh some people

Wisconsin offense vs USF defense 

Jonathan Taylor ran for 831 yards in Wisconsin’s last 4 games (207 ypg) and Wisc went 2-2, including an OT win against Purdue. He had 6 & 9.7 YPC respectively against Michigan and Penn State 

The key to beating Wisc isn’t stopping JT. Anyone who thinks we are going to “stop” JT is crazy. There isn’t a team in the country that can go into a game against Wisc and confidently say they are going to shutdown this guy. 

The key is to make sure that when they do pass, we don’t allow chunk plays and easy conversions on 3rd down. JT is going to get his, but we absolutely can NOT allow their pass game to get into any sort of rhythm. When you get Wisc in 3rd and 5 or longer, you absolutely have to make a stop. I think we will get after Coan and force him into a mistake or three. 

USF offense vs Wisconsin defense 

On the other side of the ball, we have to limit the pre snap penalties. I think we all expect some highs and lows with a Week 1 game in a new system. The key here will be limiting the false starts, illegal motions, etc that put you behind the chains. Pre snap penalties lead to short drives, which in turn leads to a tired defense. That’s a recipe for disaster against these guys. 

I expect KB to focus on the short pass game (motion to option routes, screens, etc) early in the game to establish a rhythm. We have enough talent to force missed tackles and find chunk plays without putting too much pressure on the OL. I truly think BB and co. will have a field day here. 

Special Teams

This is where the game will be decided IMO. Wisconsin will have a new kicker, while USF seems sold on using a 2 kicker system (insert a wait, wut? emoji). I don’t expect Horne to be the KR, but there’s still plenty of talent here for this to be a game changer for us. 

My official prediction is 37-34 Bulls with Wisconsin missing a game tying FG at the buzzer. 

TL;DR

Bulls win, go crazy folks 

The key is to not letting them run wild .. I rather sell out to stop the run and let their QB try to throw it on our secondary all day than to let Taylor run for 300+ yards which is what I think they’ll try to do..

i hope KJ gets cleared and leave him and Hampton on and island bs their WRs and we sell out to stop the run every time.  If they beat us thru the air so be it. I can live with that.. if they beat us through the ground and pound then I’d be very upset.  

Fact is they have 4 new starters on OL and a new QB.. what they did last year vs penn st and Michigan is irrelevant. Letting them run also keep our Offense off the field and a shoot out benefits us .. so BJM if your reading this .. sell out to Stop the run!!!!! 

Any Bullspen tailgates out there this game?

Just wait a year or 2 from now he will be wanting to transfer back closer to home. 

You called it 

3 star LB from West Palm just committed 

Besides money.. this conference is already pretty close to the big 12 footballwise. One could argue that we are doing very well for what we have to work with. Adding a good program or 3 especially if while simultaneously hurting the MWC would really boost us as a whole.

Be cool but I dont see them doing it.

 Trying to think of the best G5 team that isn't out far west we could add...C-USA none really stick out as a great team same with MAC...maybe UAB ? App State maybe ?

 

Army..  having army vs Navy be a conference game every year would be a no brainer.. arguably the best rivalry in college football

11= Andre Polk??? Looks like him

I dropped some feedback and can’t wait till they call me. I got a whole schpew ready for this one 

don’t forget our new OC .. I’m sure matt baker must be salivating for the season to start to start mentioning all our UF connections.. I can see it now ...

”there goes UF transfer Jordan Cronkite with the 43 yard rushing touchdown. What a great call by former gator and current OC Kerwin Bell who was hired by former gator DC and current HC Charlie Strong “ 

Good for him.. saw him and a few of the guys out this week at a restaurant. Maybe they were celebrating .. good luck to him seems like a good kid 

He’s a grad transfer so he would be eligible right away 

I’m fine with 2-1 if we win them all

I can't dog Strong on recruiting we have seen this season some great freshmen like Horne, Ford, Bell...if Strong gets a solid OC and let's him do his thing and keeps bringing in solid players I think we can do well despite Strong being a avg at best in game coach. 

Bell was a taggart recruit

Per his twitter. Always good when we can stick it to them in the process

Maybe, but what we really need are a few true linebackers and about 3 to 4 more seconds for Blake in the pocket. We win 10 games easy with those 2 things.

3-4 more seconds? What do you think this is? 7 Mississippi? If you get 3-4 seconds total that should be plenty to get rid of the ball

Props to whoever made this ... hope we can come out with the W tomorrow regardless 

That has to be a typo .. has to be !!!

He absolutely didn’t know what to do with Flowers and the stats prove it.. he had a Ferrari and used it like dodge caravan. Our offense was wayyy better his jr year
