As for the Rutgers play... the thing that always haunts me is this... up until that point, I had NEVER seen a flag thrown after a replay. The whole replay system was gaining traction, but, there was no flag on the play until they reviewed it (reviewing the turnover I guess), then, they came out after the review and called the penalty. It was crazy.

Rutgers will always hurt more because of the impact.

This one bugs me more because that 2007 team didn't have much more to give. Sure, bad plays and mistakes, but, it's football, things happen. This one was in my opinion the culmination of a conservative coach that has throttled back the offense. There were glimpses of what this offense could be with short passes and running, but, in my opinion the talent on this team was enough to win and the coaching staff let them down.

Ask again next week if we continue to fall in a collapse. However, this one is as close as it comes to 07 in the last 10 years. Yeah we've had some really bad losses that hurt, but this one was the mo

4th and 24 is way worse than the illegal propulsion.  You're talking about a win vs a flag before halftime

Definitely this, if you're just talking about specific plays .... if you're talking losses, Rutgers 07.

4th and 24 was on this team; illegal forward propulsion and mystery interference were poor calls against us. I think Rutgers was worse.

Very much so. This loss may turn out to be not much of anything if we end up winning the conference. Another loss in the regular season  would suck though, because it almost certainly puts us out of it.

Hopefully the only thing it may have ended up doing was losing us the ccg. Personally, I would have loved to have had the game here but I'm thinking it would have been an embarrassment overall attendence wide ...

It would be an embarrassment if Memphis or SMU host as well, Navy...not so much.

Not for USF ......

Doubt SMU would have a decent crowd but I think Memphis would, as would Navy or Houston ...

Memphis will be a tough place to win. Always cold and rain that time of the year. SMU would be better as they would not get too many fans and they are the weaker team.

    "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."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22

    “In my mind, I’m kind of like, ‘OK, excuses over'. We know what we need to do. We’ve got the right team together, and now we move forward, and we’ll evaluate and be accountable to each other, including myself, from this point forward.”
