Can we cut to spring ball to name a starting qb already?

I am with you...now the long wait begins. At the same time I don’t think a starter will be named until summer camp.

Congratulations Bull.  Now, get back to work and get us a conference Championship

All about our QB play next year. There will never be another QF, but if we can get a manageable replacement there is a foundation of an 8 win team or so, considering how bad our conference is. But no way we will start the year ranked. I expect UCF (and maybe Memphis) will be, but I think UCF will be taking a step back with their new coaching staff. I haven't looked at their OOC schedule but I do think they lose 2 conference games next year.

Their OOC schedule is home against South Carolina State, FAU, and Pitt. They play at UNC so they won't be undefeated next year. Their home games are against Cincy, Navy, SMU, and Temple. their road games are at UCONN, ECU, Memphis, and us.

In this offense it will be more about OL and RBs.  Overall success will be determined by defense. 

Doubt we start ranked, but i think we compete for league title and up ranked as long as defense truly develops. 

It was defense and Special Teams that hurt us when it counted.

I'll take #21, whether or not I feel we should be higher. So glad to be able to finish ranked again! Go Bulls & thanks for a solid season!

I have to agree, but hope we can glean some info about the way their leaning from spring ball.

That **** loss to Houston may have cost  USF a top 15 finish.

Probably not. One loss to UCF would have been enough for the committee to keep us around 20 IMO. UCF was #12 after winning the conference undefeated--it took a win over a good SEC team to break the top 10, and they still didn't put them above other P5 1-loss teams, so with USF's schedule we'd have no hope of breaking 15.

And i hope they are undefeated when we play them so we can have a top 10 win
