Finally, the "complete game"

I thought Flowers look great passing the ball.  Our running game was crap, defense, meh, not bad.  Special teams laid an egg in every phase.  Certainly not a complete game.  

 

Oh, and Oline gave Flowers all day to throw the ball.  

Running game I wouldnt say was crap they were not bad.

Penalties and sp teams blew the game.

Either Strong was watching the team in black or he just confirmed that he doesn't care much about special teams or penalties.

Maybe he meant that we played with full effort for 60 minutes.  I will give him that.  A complete game to most coaches means solid football in all phases from start to finish.  

Maybe this says a lot about what Strong believes as a head coach.

DJ had 30 yards and Tice had 18........  crap. 

To be fair, it probably just had more to do with what ucf was giving us.

Flowers had 102.  Your second paragraph is accurate, though.

Yeah true..but Flowers had 100+ yards so 150+ yards isn't bad but I agree not great.

I think UCF was selling out to stop the run and why we were able to get good passing yards.

Absolutely noticeable in the first quarter.

Why haven't we passed the ball like that at all the entire season.... coaches squandered talent.

Because Flowers hasn't been able to pass the ball like that the entire season.  What he did last night was great, but he has been inconsistent with his passing his entire career

Someone look up 4th quarter points and then let’s talk about a complete game.

D feel apart at the end of the game as they have done almost all year long.

Another thread reminded me of what I heard in the postgame show.  One of the commentators said that Strong said the Bulls finally played a "complete game".  I thought that was crazy talk.  Not saying it wasn't an enjoyable game for most fans, but it was FAR from complete.  I don't get it.  Don't know why he would say that.  I find it disingenuous and a quick way to lose credibility even if it is just more coachspeak.  That game was far from what I would call complete.  Penalties, errors, drops, playcalling...anyway, I don't think we've gotten there yet coach.  Let's try it for the bowl game.

That tells me he's not committed to USF and his job. As a fan, I'm allowed to enjoy the game and respect UCF for what they did on the field. But as a coach, he can't claim "complete game" when he coached a huge loss like that. He should be feeling like he failed and takes the blame.

I've not read his comments and I'm just going from what's referenced here. But, frankly, I don't want to read it.

I hope this crew is gone after a few more weeks. Thanks, Texas, but no thanks.

I support the players 100% but this coaching staff needs to GOOOOO!

Why? How this offense was misused all season is just too much for me. Yes, we won. But it just shows me they have no clue how to build for the future. When our current seniors are gone, we are going to hurt for a long time playing the style Strong and his coaches want to play. And the defense? What defense? Special teams --not special to me!

And don't forget USF is going to be paying a lot of money after next season for this staff. Please let them go to the SEC or wherever. That will be a blessing for our university.

Hey, it's been a good season and fun. But strategically and financially for our school, we need to let him get hired away. Hopefully, that game was a good commercial for some school in the SEC to make a hire from USF!
