The season was a success, at least by our standards, but it is a little disappointing that we couldn't get past the CUSA Champion. Somebody posted in another thread that we had the better athletes, and that would be the difference in the game, which was my thinking as well. Thought we were ready for bigger and better things, but apparently we would rank as the second or third best team in CUSA. Regardless,  we are headed in the right direction, and next year should be fun to watch.

Was very happy with the progress of Flowers this year, but his body language wasn't the best when a win was still within reach in today's game. Way too much moping around I thought.

Defense didn't show up and they were out played and out coached. Our offense did enough to win, but the defense must have been having too much fun on south beach.

I didn't say they were good, but the dline definitely didn't make things easier. They had pretty much no pressure on he qb the second half. It was pretty much a horrible game by 95% of the defensive p

I'm looking forward to seeing if AW is the real deal or was his Elite 11 win just a fluke. Hopefully he can at least put pressure on QF to improve his throwing mechanics.

WKU is a veteran top 25 team. No shame in losing to them. They were the better team today. Our star QB and RB are both only sophomores. Before the season most any USF fan would take an 8-5 record with 4 of the 5 losses against ranked teams.

If we want to be ranked we gotta win those games and I don't like settling for less than best.

Need to get out and recruit some defensive players. Cecil Cherry should help stop the run next year. Some more DB's would be nice.

If we take care of business next year and win the conference we will be ranked. We weren't getting ranked this year. We won 7 of the final 9 games. Coming from back to back seasons where we won a total of 6 games that is good progress. I expect another step forward next year.

The db didn't play well, but when the dline cannot get pressure without blitzing it makes it difficult. Their qb had 5 or more seconds to pass on almost every play. Even the best corners can't cover that long successfully

Not saying it was a shameful loss, just that I thought it was winnable, and yes, 8-5 exceeded my (and probably many people's) expectations. Just making the bowl is definitely a step in the right direction. I had it in my head that our defense would have been a different caliber than WKU is used to, but that was obviously wrong. The guy threw for nearly 500 yards. Exciting game though. Should be fun next year.

I blame the blown coverages. How many easy TD's did this guy throw for? Guys wide open with nobody around.

    “In my mind, I’m kind of like, ‘OK, excuses over'. We know what we need to do. We’ve got the right team together, and now we move forward, and we’ll evaluate and be accountable to each other, including myself, from this point forward.”

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
