Today is the big test. We either find out this team can dig really deep and overcome some real adversity or that we have a good team that is going to grow well over the next few years but this isn't the chosen year.

Horrible time slot for me, might just have to skip that one

Huge Shout out and thank you to David Goldstein!

1) South Florida2) 56-133) Cronkrite4) St Felix5) 550 May we finally see 3 qbs in a blowout "fbs" win...

I don't think I can buy into that. In this past game with Tulsa we barely crawled back, honestly a big thank you to the ref for the 1st down at a key time. I don't think we are "holding" anything for big games when we are behind or 1 score ahead in games we should be a lot further in. Something else is up. Either our players aren't as skilled as we think they are (yet) or the OC is Stubborn (or incompetent). Perhaps a little of both? I have no personal feelings to him one way or another. Honestly I wasn't that disappointed with our play last year. This year however is a different story (outside of the GT game). Maybe you onto something and it is the communication system and he should go up to see more scheme and let the sideline staff communicate the plays. Something is fishy and I hope it gets worked out soon. Perhaps there is something happening in practice that if we saw we would go "oh duh, well that makes sense" but with all the cloak and dagger... Also a big concern is why our team is constantly "unprepared" wtf is up with that? are our student athletes blowing off football practices or is our staff not getting our players in position to win?

right but didn't we also come out of the game quite banged up? we also lost horne to that acl accident. I am just curious if there is a case for the reason we are not doing those things other than the professional being paid to call the shots is a moron. (After skip holtz, I completely understand that it is a possibility.) I just can't fathom why someone who could put together a solid game plan would suddenly stop and walk away from that. I too am very very frustrated watching our offense. If we cannot fix things I can easily see us dropping 4 games this season.

So it seems like those that are knowledge and critical of USF's offense site the problem as Gilbert. I am not saying that is wrong, but if I recall (again I am hardly a football expert) that there was a lot of praise for Gilbert's play calling after GT. So it has me wondering, could there (also) be something else going on at offense? Is it 100% the play calling or the teams ability to run plays limiting the play calling? If I am not mistaken we do have a young/weak line, injuries, small rb that can't block well (not a slight on their skill just their size) and a QB that has 6 games under his belt. I have all the faith in the world that this team can and will get better, but I am highly concerned that this will not be the dream season the green and gold goggles wish for. I do think we will be able to address a lot of these issues going into next year and have a very very strong team then. I am just questioning is it really Gilbert's fault? It very well may be, I am simply not an expert to evaluate that, but could there be other factors that are limiting our offense? if so are they addressable this season?

At the start of the season I felt that having a better C was better for us because it would mean a better win. However I am not sure the way we have been playing we will be able to make it to that game undefeated ourselves. I agree the conf championship is the priority and now I think the best way to get there is to make sure that C has more losses than us by the time we play each other so they can't pass us to the championship game. I hope I am wrong and this team continues to find ways to win against Houston, Cinci, Temple and C.. but I don't think we make it past all 4 of those teams unscathed.

GOLD!!!

1) South Florida2) 41-313) Jordan Cronkrite4) Tyre McCants5) 550

Tuned in for a bit (still undecided if I will stay up, or wake up for USF, it's looking more like replay tbh with the tv issues). Seeing some stops on both sides. Not sure if it is good defense or bad offense. Hoping our Oline can make it through the season.

So I should look next door?

Someone's fro has a flat spot today

Hope our boys heal up well, it's a tough sport.

Oh I agree, I want to get to that point, but fact we are reloading not rebuilding is a pleasant treat this year. I didn't expect us to be right back in the hunt after our graduates left. Hopeful that we would be but didn't expect it. I think what we are seeing on the board now is that we do expect it, and also have the possibility to achieve it if a few more key games go our way.

lets assume we lost 2 games, after losing QF last year if we knew we would come right back and go 10-2 we would be stoked. I think we are on track to at least get 10-2. We do have a chance at winning out and that would be the ride of a lifetime, but we are only 2 very probable wins away from bowl eligible
