He gets nervous and the whole team feeds off of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are 5-13 (27.8%) during the I-AA years, '97-'00, and 0-5 vs I-AA ranked teams during that time on the road.They are 9-13 (40.9%) vs I-A teams on the road in '01-'05 (USF I-A years), which is a big improvement over the I-AA years. The Bulls are 1-8 vs BCS (11.1%) teams all time and 0-4 over ranked teams on the road.If the Bulls play as they have in the past on the road, then we can expect them to win one to two of the four road games left.USF is 13-5 (72.2%) at home vs I-A teams since '01 and 1-1 vs BCS teams. So USF can be expected to win one to two of the two home games left, based on the recent past.That would put the Bulls at 5-6 to 7-4 for the season. They would either be out of bowl contention, needing to use the FAMU game to be bowl eligible, or possibly going to a lower tier bowl somewhere. If the Bulls can pull out 3 wins on the road and both wins at home, then USF will be 8-3 and going to a bowl game somewhere.So, the question is... have the Bulls improved back to their winning ways from before last season (finishing up 5-6 to 7-4) or leaped ahead in their improvement this season (8-3 or 9-2), ala the 9-2 season?Kizarvexis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remaining USF road games, with the possible exception of Syracuse, will not pose that type of challenge. PJ did fine at TCU and UAB last year.USF's road record, when playing teams of its own caliber, hasn't been bad. 9-13 vs I-A teams is respectable, especially considering that USF was a heavy underdog in a lot of those games (Oklahoma, Alabama, Miami, Penn State, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they have the right to talk trash. We can shut them up with a nice road win. I like our chances, but it won't be an easy win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
