We certainly left at least 2 TDs on the field, but our offense gets stronger throughout the game. 

We really have not been challenged in any game after halftime. Some may say Stonybrook, but I never felt they challenged us. It was more we were just lackadaisical and sluggish. 

I am not really concerned about things yet.

Unfortunately, according to this rating (team effiencies) USf is probably not looked at so favorable becuase of the offense and special teams. If the offense was or can be consistant than then there would be many more believers.

A blast from the past.

For those who might not recognize the name Jeff Bower...

Flashback:

http://www.sptimes.com/2002/10/12/news_pf/Sports/Much_to_prove_for_USF.shtml

 

BTW,  USF beat them after that article came out, 16-13.

If I remember correctly on that day, Bower was once again causing another stir by complaining about music playing during the game.

When he looks at our current SOS... he will make known his displeasure. 

 

How the hell is that clown on the committee? I still liked computers better...I hate the use of a committee...no way you can remove personal bias.

Did we run a single jet sweep last game? Last year our offense shut down teams, this year it’s defense. Our defense has held an opposing offense touchdownless in two games so far this season (can anywone stat check how many other teams have done that this year?) but something is off on offense. 

Antoine had one.

Think we had two in the game.

We are 6-0 and I am not ashamed to admit that watching these six games brought me more agitation than excitement.  We were in a weird situation created by our soft schedule (due to Wisc & I believe Mich St backing out) which made style point almost as important as winning.  With the SDSU loss, all that gets thrown out the window!  

We can now just enjoy the games regardless of how much we win by.  If we keep winning, we will play on New Year's Day, which is really the best we could have hoped for.  This is not just about 2017, but about setting the foundation for the future.  A conference championship and NY6 Bowl help to solidify our recruiting class and bring legitimacy to Tampa.

Special Teams have been fixed.  Penalties have not.  Play calling...Now when we are winning by 12 and run up the middle three times in the red zone, we can be happy that we aren't showing UCF our cards. UCF is playing at peak performance.  With style points out of the way, I prefer to go into Black Friday as the unknown and then unleash the hounds on them!  We have been the favorite before, where it looked like there was no way we could lose (most Thursday's in the past!). I prefer going into the bounce house as an underdog and leaving with a ticket to the conference championship game.

Until then, I'm going to finally sit back and enjoy the ride!

Agree. This is where I'm at now.
