Look back to the losses this year and last.  3rd qt has been our Achilles heel.  We play well enough to win in the first half (FSU, MD, Memphis) only to get blown out in the 3rd qt.    This is squarely the fought of Coach T for not making the needed half time adjustments to win the game.   The other teams make the needed adjustments and run off 10/20 straight points and we can not over come that.  (one could argue if you win the first half you don't need to make adjustments) but that is the reason we are losing.  COACH T doesn't know how to make the RIGHT adjustments during the game. He is in over his head.

I fully agree.  Adjustments are key to demonstrating the coaching acumen of any team's HC.  Sadly, USF suffers from depending on Taggart's level of acumen.

This may be the case and we may disagree but it's hard to adjust when your QB is only capable of running about 10 plays.

Our game plan hasnt changed with QF as the QB all year long. Go back all the way to FAMU and you will see he is running the same few plays over and over again. If he had any confidence in QF he would have allowed QF to at least throw the same passes plays that SB has made during his appearances. Look at SB Iin the FAMU game or even against MD and the pass to run ratio becomes very different. The plays exist in the playbook.

Would you say that is part of KNOWING HOW TO WIN?

And yes.

Maybe CWT needs to pull a Sam Wyche and start practicing halftimes ...

Who's fault is that? CWT.

I don't buy that the QB is only capable of running 10 plays. We started slinging it down the field in the 4th quarter, and it was working. The play calling remains vanilla. As long as CWT retains the play calling, we're bound to have the same atrocious offense that doesn't adjust to the circumstances.

3rd quarter was screaming for a play action fake with a deep ball. Alas, we didn't start throwing the ball until it was too late.
