67 percent

Back to percentiles for a moment: have you noticed how well South Florida has been playing?

  • Average percentile performance (2014 season): 25 percent
  • Average percentile performance (first 4 games of 2015): 42 percent
  • Average percentile performance (last 6 games of 2015): 67 percent

The numbers were catching on to Willie Taggart's improving Bulls, with the way they looked in whipping Syracuse and SMU, beating UConn and ECU on the road and playing a downright awesome Navy pretty close.

South Florida made one hell of a statement on Saturday, though. Up 14-10 on once-beaten Temple, the Bulls went on a 17-0 run to finish the half, and when Temple cut to 11 points midway through the third quarter, USF finished on a 13-3 run.

Against a stout Temple D, Marlon Mack carried 21 times for 230 yards and two scores, Quinton Flowers threw for 230 yards and rushed for 103 (pre-sacks) and Rodney Adams caught seven passes for 147 yards. The Bulls had been hinting at a breakout for a while. On Saturday, they broke out, and the AAC has yet another interesting program to track.

As much as I would too, their offense is hard to recover from if we play an early bowl game.  I'd like to sneak into the championship game and get a crack at undefeated Houston.

Did you see the other stat on down the page?

Bottom 5 teams in terms of turnovers luck
128. Maryland (-8.8 PPG)
127. Cincinnati (-5.0)
126. Virginia (-4.9)
125. UL-Lafayette (-4.6)
124. Charlotte (-4.5)

I wonder if this -5ppg is figured into the spread?

Another nice nod to the team's effort this year. They deserve it, and so does Tags!
