American Football Team That Will Disappoint

ThusBut if you think they can somehow be used by the team for motivation they're otherwise lacking, you think it's possible for them to win games.

Articles themselves don't win games. It's the reaction of the team to articles that can win or lose games. Get caught up in too much hype and you relax and get blindsided. An article that's critical and non-flattering, can be used to bring a team back to their senses.

I love Mack, but RBs are a dime a dozen in the NFL these days. He's 6'0" and 205 and probably runs a 4.4 (guessing). We're not talking about an elite physical specimen. He's amazing for us, but he's not blowing up for 2000 yards a year in the AAC. Chalk it up to how he's used, whatever, but to go in the top 2 rounds of the draft in 2016 NFL football, you've got to be better than really good or built fairly solid.

Number of RBs drafted in the first two rounds:

2016 - 2

2015 - 2

2014 - 1

2013 - 2

2012 - 4

If he goes in the first two rounds this year, I'm VERY happy with how our season turned out with us having one of the top 2 RBs in college football.

Side note, for Mack to go in the first two rounds, you're expecting NFL teams to value him above Cook, Fournette, or McCaffrey. One is the best player we saw last year. One could have been a first round pick his freshman year. And one is even money to win the Heisman in 2016.

There's a lot of good RBs potentially coming out this year.

 LOL CWT being #2 on the hot seat...especially more than Chad Morris or Montgomery. Did this guy really watch any of our games?

But ... CWT signed an extension!!!!  Does anyone really think USF would fire a coach a year after he signed a contract extension?

well played. But seriously the only way I could see CWT's seat going from room temperature to liquid-hot magma is if he pulls an O'Leary with this team.

Barring injury the talent on the team alone could at least go bowl eligible in spite of coaching gaffes. Which to be honest I think will be few and far between. CWT is figuring it out, and letting QF improvise more and more.
