Its a young football team.... be patient

[goingbackbull]

See my post on the BJM must go thread.  Horrible coaching decision to move Thomas to corner to combat Houston's height at wide receiver.   That is the stuff that makes me doubt this staff.

Jaymon Thomas is probably in the top 3 of our best defensive player. I cant hate on that move. But if you botice the heights on our new recruiting class u see Strong is going 4 more height

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. 

 

 

 

 

If I am reading you correctly, that would mean we have 60 veterans on the team. 

BTW, did the OC and DC count as redshirt freshmen? There's great room for growth with just over a year of experience under their belts.

Please wake me up when we win something.

Jaymon is a solid safety but not a corner hence him getting burned multiple times in that game.  Besides Mike Hampton is 6"1 Mazzi is 6ft.  Culpepper (yes where is he) is 6"1

Either way, he is one of our better defensive players who always makes the play if he can. I dont see how its such a boneheaded move. Cornerbacks and safeties go hand in hand.  Those are probably the 2 most interchangeable positions.
