2007 vs 2017

[NessUSF]

I'm not convinced that USF 2017 can beat USF 2016...

42-29 we get the W and mush the streak

Don’t know if I agree with him, but I still like Matt’s style. He was such a tough SOB. 

The car wash comment is classic MG

Some people forget 2007 got BLOWN OUT by a 4th string QB of an unranked team to end the season.

Don't see this team doing that.

INB4 "injuries tho bla bla"

Excellent point. That 07 team has to answer to that bowl loss. If they were so good that should have never happend. 

From what I heard, 'twasn't injuries that did us in, 'twas hangovers.

How is this even a debate?  I do not think that game would be close at all.  Ignore the records and the rankings.  The 2007 team had one Achilles heal, playing against downhill NFL running back talent.  They would also be 7-0 at this point and probably bored with the schedule.  Granted, there were times they played to the competition in typical USF frustrating fashion but the 2007 team would smoke this one, especially if given their respective coaching staffs.  Tonight's performance was not the catalyst for this post but only reinforced that thought.

And anyone that points to that Oregon loss because they had their 47th string qb in the game... another poster pointed out that team was NC caliber.  We were overmatched up front and had to face yet again another NFL RB.  If we played sideline to sideline teams we would have been golden all year long lol.

Tice might give the 2017 team a few headaches and certainly Q might convert a few 3rd and longs while breaking one or two long ones but this game would be something like 42 - 24.

Knows what he's talking about.

I agree without reservation.

The Bulls lost a generation of fans after 2009.  Many aren't around anymore. 

Many that took their place only really think about Holtz and 2016-17.  They don't know much about the Big East or the teams that played in it.

2007 would absolutely destroy 2017 in my humble, yet experienced, opinion.

I agree 100% that team had playmakers and heart. They also played much tougher competition
