    I think QF would be a great running back, kick returner or WR. He is an amazing runner, but will probably never be an average passer. Just think how amazing our running game would be if the other team respected our quarterbacks passing ability. Teams cannot consistently win when their qb is 15-35 and 2-15 on third down conversions. When we play good defenses they will exploit our weakness...thank goodness most college defenses aren't that good. 

    He was an average passer for the season. He was sitting at 61% before today. Today he was not good at all throwing, a ton of overthrows. However, the game plan has been run the ball, screens, and then hit the deep balls. Sitting in the pocket will never be a part of his game. If the run game gets shut down we are in trouble. I think the run game was there today but stupid penalties forced us into throwing more than CWT probably wanted to.

     

    What are the keys to Monday's BOWL GAME?

    One guy to watch out for is their 6'6 TE Tyler Higbee. He averages 62 yards per game and missed four games with an injury. Given how undersized we are, a big TE is going to be a pain to deal with. I wish Lamar Robbins hadn't been an idiot, he would have matched up well with his size. Most of their WR are between 5'9 and 6*1 with one who's 6*3. 

    Higbee got hurt in the CUSA Championship Game, and injury to the same knee that cost him 4 games earlier. Still questionable to play.

    CWT Interviewing at SC

    This logic makes sense, especially after watching Muschamp's meltdowns in the Iron Bowl.  Who needs that?  Schiano doesn't look like an SEC coach, IMO.  Rich Rod would love to be on the East Coast, closer to family, my guess.

    I love what CWT has done the last 8 games, but let's be real:  of the 8 wins, only 2 teams (Temple & Cincy) had winning records.  USCe doesn't have to scrimp here...Spurrier retired, so there's no buy out, and they have ample cash.  So, would they triple Taggart's salary, given his record and the facts above?  Not likely.  I didn't speak to a frat boy, but one of my USCe alum buds strongly believes they won't gamble on Taggart.  He also said don't rule out that the hire isn't listed by the "experts".

    As to impact on recruits, if Taggart stays, he can tell the kids that he did the smart thing:  test the market & get a pay raise.  That IS the smart thing to do, especially in this market.  If he leaves, he earned it...we always had the ability to pay him more (not SEC $$, but more than $1.15).  I think no matter what, Taggart gets at least what Frost is getting at UCF. Harlan is smart enough to play this either way:  pay Taggart or pull in another coach (or elevate Coach Allen).

    My guess:  Taggart stays, gets $2MM, assistants get more $$, recruits lock in and we pull in a top 35 class.

    Let's compare notes when the dust settles.
