Its a young football team.... be patient

[Blackice12]

Before all, you crazy USF Bulls football fanatics jump off the deep end and start asking for coaches to be fired keep in mind this is a rather young team. 

Of the 108 players on the roster, 48 are either true or redshirt-freshmen.  Of that group of 48, 17 are getting playing time. 23 of the 108 are sophomores and 10 are getting playing time.   The remaining 37 players are juniors and seniors and 13 of 20 and 13 of 17 respectively are getting playing time. 

So a touch over half of the players on the field during the game are getting, "Live Action" playing time in the words of Turtle Man.

Comparatively speaking the  2014 class that brought in Mack, Flowers, Johnson, etc saw a four-game improvement between 2014 and 2015 and we all know where things went from there.

Understanding this team is playing a "weak" schedule if they are in a position to win the ACC East title during Black Friday will be a tremendous accomplishment.

Get this logic out of here! Don’t you know we are dealing with the “I want gratification now” generation on this board?

****, just went to Home Depot and bought me a new pitchfork. Maybe I'll save it for next year.

Seriously, though, it has been said before and it is an excellent point. We are having a pretty good "rebuilding year".

Wow the old, "wait till next year" speal. 

You forget we're Bulls fans and just like in the movie "Groundhog Day", tomorrow won't come until we learn some obscur lesson.

Could not agree more with this post.   Coach Strong has played many young players this year.   With the new rule about playing 4 games and still getting red shirt it has encouraged Strong to play so many.

Just got to make sure Coach Strong stays

I was sleep deprived after travelling to Houston and going out with the kid for Halloween. I was out of my mind writing this post.
