USF Can't Afford to Think Small

[BullDoug]

If they are slow up front on the DL, then PJ will be fine.  Probably minimal pressure, maybe one sack.  He doesn't do well under pressure 'specially early.  PJ knows he must be calmer at Pitt in the being as he stated in the paper.  USF should not start in a hole if there are no early USF TOs.  There is no reason to come out with the trick plays vs. Pitt.  Bulls are at least equal if not better in talent.  They def. have more speed on the D side.

Leavitt should let the D set the tone...smash mouth FB.  If the Kitties wanna run go ahead and try.  If the Kitties wanna pass, Palko will pay.  Williams or Jenkins need to lock down that Tampa kid too.  Luv to see Johnny P. have a great day at Pitt (100 yds, 2 TDs).

Penn St.   -Undefeated.   loss by 10

Miami,   -always a powerhouse. loss by 20

L'ville, - we still beat by 31pts...  Everyone picked them to be no.1 in the div. We should be able to put pitt in their place, and beat WV. The rest is all downhill.   IT CAN BE DONE!!!

You are right it can be done, but you had better not overlook anybody.  Even The worst team in the conference can bite you then it's the same as losing to the best (except for the tiebreaker).  Pitt is better than many people here think.

Until we go undefeated or lose one of them,each one of these upcoming conference games now is basically the most important game we've ever played.

Go Bulls!

Yeah, but you see, I'm an insanely blind follower of the MIGHTY USF BULLS and If they say they could walk on water, I'd pretty much believe it. (or BULLeive it anyway)

To go from Kentucky Wesleyan to daring to utter the words "Sugar Bowl" in nine years is preposterous, but it's what we have. It requires a new way of thinking.

this is the biggest problem in usf sports

1.  We're clearly the better running team and usually the better running team wins most contests.  So, if we can establish the run early that bodes well for our chances.

2.  Their defense is stout but lacks exceptional speed, and is susceptible to the run against good running teams- see Rutgers, ND, and Nebraska against them.  

3.  Our run defense.  We are the better running team, AND we're better at stopping the run.  Their running game is average at best, and then going against our good run defense further amplifies the stat that the team which runs the ball better wins.

4.  Intangibles- speed, we've got way more of it on both sides of the ball.  Pat Julmiste is faster than most of their front line defensive players.  HB Blades is playing hurt.  They beat us bad and Leavitt loves revenge

this is all great and is probably true but that is hwy they play the game

a road win puts us in the hunt

a loss  puts us back where we were
