It is the Gasparilla Bowl and it is now played in Tampa at Ray Jay and this year it is against an AAC FOE. But yeah I agree if we are to avoid this bowl we need all units to step up. I think our D is going to do good things as this is a specialty of CCS. Just for laughs I went to the U of Texas site. Here is a link to the 2016 schedule and scores.

At the same time if a couple things go sideways we could very easily be fighting for our bowl lives (QB's disappoint the middle of the defense has a big drop off from Senat, Hector, and Sanchez leaving). Seasons like this are the most exciting because of how many unknowns we have. Edited August 28, 2018 by Bull Dozer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his "specialty" has worked well with us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know he is known as a defensive guy but those numbers are high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took our team from **** near last place in defense to top 20.....and you worrying about a 2016 Texas team? When he was at UF, man we had a kick a$$ defense, and now that he is at USF, we have a kick ass defense. Everybody in life has good years and bad years. Im just happy that USF has a great defense NOW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
