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.

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.

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. 1

If we want to be ranked we gotta win those games and I don't like settling for less than best. 1

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.

Their qb had 5 or more seconds to pass on almost every play. Even the best corners can't cover that long successfully

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.

Guys wide open with nobody around. 1
