I don't like being 1-5 any more than anyone else but that's some good context for this year. UCF, Memphis, and Navy are hopefully good shots to turn it around. They seem beatable. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By USF? Not sure I agree with that unless we're using hope/luck as a factor...regardless of what Morgan Freeman thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behind a QB playing his second game BYU blew a 9-point 4th quarter lead. Their last 4 possessions went: FUMBLE at the BYU 38 - giving USF a short field MISSED FG at the USF 22 TURNOVER ON DOWNS at the USF 10 TURNOVER ON DOWNS at the USF 20 So to answer your question, the defense bent like a Chinese gymnast but didn't break. So a roster can change dynamically bad for us in one season and dynamically great for another team in one season but a coach that comes here can’t expect to have any positive impact for three seasons? The facts remain that our talent was not that bad last season, it did not fall that much this season and it does not take three years to improve a college football program that should have been .500 the year before you got here. Apparently you can actually take them to #9 in the country and even do so while being independent and not in the worst conference to be a member of in all of college football.

Your first sentence is key. How many players do they have that started in last year’s game that started this weekend? I don’t know but you are correct depth and positions change season to season. BYU is a smash mouth team this year...last year they seemed more finesse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should absolutely be winning more than 1 FCS game with them, the only reason people have lowered their expectations to the indefensibly low standard that CJS has delivered thus far is because they have to and not because it holds up to any scrutiny, critical thought or their expectation coming into the season.

Now, if we could just win a couple games in conference that would prob make it an ok season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
