Will always love me some MG.  CJL made a very poor decision leaving him in the game up 40-0 as the half was running out.  Ended his career. 

Go Bulls!

I remember screaming at the TV, "Get him out!", then "Why are we running our QB??".  "Oh no".

 

Grothe  & Selvie put this program on the map, and if we ever get an OCS, they'll be the first banners hanging as HOFers.

Resiliency. For as bad as our D is this year we have pulled out these close games unlike any Bulls team has in the past. And I refuse to believe the competition back then was significantly better than

No need to take a shot at MG.  He led us to many great wins and his contributions were endless, which is more than you're 33 posts on this message board.

The Auburn game disagrees with the OP.

This isn't even about Grothe. 

As I have said before, this is the best QB/RB/WR combo EVER.  

No question...we're stacked beyond our greediest dreams, and will look back on this time as blessed we were.

It was only 28-0, so there wasn't a decision to be made at all.  Nobody takes their QB out before half when its only 28-0.

I'd forgotten the details, but you're correct.  For me, the game was well in hand, with FSU next, so I wanted him out, but you're right...that's pretty early.  But I didn't like running him.  But, one could argue that your running QB has to run, and you can't fear injuries.  Still, that was frustrating...but I'm sure a lot more for MG than us.

By this rationale, we should have had QF out midway thru the 2nd Quarter last week vs Navy.  Its a good thing we didn't take him out.  Like I said before nobody does this.  BA you should know better.  Complain about the playcall, but not the decision to keep him in there.

Pretty sure Navy's ability to comeback is a LITTLE big more than Charleston Southern.  But otherwise, I take your point.  I was a bit surprised when Taggart put in Kean mid-4th, as he rarely does.  And we would up with 2 short drives (if memory serves), and 5 straight Navy TDs to end the game (not all after Kean went in, clearly).

Why is Grothe untouchable around here like he won the heisman or something?

The NFL defense carried his teams not his errand INTs. Put Grothe's offense on this current absolutely-no-defense team, and they go 0-12.

No championships.

I don't get it.

 

Put this offense with Grothe's defenses and we're unfeated and a top #10 ranking.

Loved watching MG play, would love to watch him again.   The competitive fire was unmatched.  As CWT would say, he attacked each day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.

All that said, I don't think I'd rank him as the best QB to ever play for USF.  I would say he was the QB during the most successful run USF has had - to this point.

Haha, this is spot on! They both did their thing and did it well during different periods.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.

    "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."
