I am known for keeping my green and gold goggles on so I shall break down why I feel we will win 8-10 games this year. I am sharing my views and will not go back and 4th on my opinion nor do I want to make any bets. If you feel we will have a bad year, feel free to express yourself and all power to you. If you have your goggles on, go ahead and say why. We can circle back to this thread after our awesome 2021 season. Go Bulls!!! Coaching staff: CJS has replaced 40 players and added new staff. I feel that Cam Aiken (RB), Bobby Bentley (WR & Passing Game Coordinator), Ernie Sims (LB), and AJ Artis (Strength & Conditioning) are awesome additions. Our biggest weakness last year was conditioning. I'm going to give an ex-SEC S&C coach the benefit of the doubt. Offense: QB - I’m good with Fortin, Williams, March, or McClain. They all shined at the spring game. RB - We have 7 running backs and 4 of them weigh 200Ibs or more. The other 3 have speed. O-line - This will be the most improved position. CJC and Jarren Williams both mentioned being impressed with the O-line in their most recent interviews. I stand by having 2-4 future NFL players on this line. They will provide much more time for the passing game and make some holes for our Running game. TE - We are deep. WR - Unproven but deep and have a lot of speed. Conclusion - Our offense is going to EXPLODE this year. We will be back to scoring at least 30 pts per game. Defense: I am banking on Glenn Spencer working the same magic he did at FAU. FAU had the 92nd ranked defense and in 2018, after his first year in 2019, they were the 40th ranked defense. I will write off his first year here as getting to know the players and restrictions from the pandemic. The players were out of shape and had no formal camp. This year he knows what he is working with and had a full spring and fall camp. We were 122nd ranked total defense last year. I feel if we get our total rankings in the “60s” we should be OK. Hell, if USF can get the total defense ranked in the low 70s, that should be good enough with the offense we have. Conditioning: This defensive line is pretty old. At this point, they should be at their “college physical peak” due to their ages. If Pickney and Kegler can get their strength up we should be ok. Besides Thad Magnum, our defenses weren’t strong enough to overcome their size. S&C coach Trumain Carroll left the team in pretty good shape right before he left for KSU. A.J Artis came in from Tennessee and should have this Defensive line “physically” ready. Transfers: Xander Yarborough and Jamari Stewart should be able to get us more sacks. I would still like another DT or DE transfer, but if these are the only 2 transfers we have to work with, I am good with them both. Jamari Stewart is a bit skinny, but I’m banking on him gaining some weight this off season. Below is my pre-fall camp depth chart....this is pretty much what we are working with this year: I copied this from ourlads.com Offense #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 QB Fortin, Cade RS JR/TR Williams, Jarren RS SO/TR Marsh, Katravis SO McClain, Timmy FR RB Joiner, Kelley JR Battie, Brian SO Felix, Darrian RS SR/TR (200Ibs) Mangham, Jaren JR/TR (200Ibs) Parker, Leonard RS SO (200Ibs) Hamilton, Mychael SO (200Ibs) Young, Yasias SO TE Brinkman, Mitchell GR/TR Carter, Chris RS JR Nance, Thomas RS SO Greenwald, Gunnar FR Willis, Holden SO Akepeu, Flaubert RS SO WR-X Weaver, Xavier JR Terry, Yusuf RS FR/TR Brown, Sincere SO Reynolds, Garret SO WR-Y Miller, Bryce RS SR/TR Dollison, Omarion SO Horn Jr., Jimmy FR Atkins, Sean RS SO Helms, Christian RS SO WR-Z Williams, Latrell RS SR/TR Berryhill, Logan RS SO Tshivuadi, Nickolas FR Cucci, Michael SO O-Line #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 LT Jennings, Donovan SR Blanchard, Joshua RS SO Reyes, Cesar SO LG Harris, Demetris RS SR Sainterling, Sebastian RS JR Bikowski, Remy SO/TR OC Cecil, Brad SR Hall, Dustyn RS SO Manconi, Patrick SO RG Wiggs, Michael GR Greene, Uriah SO McDuffie, Matthew RS SO RT Jacobs, Demontrey RS SR/TR Kilfoyl, Andrew FR Hopple, Jarrett GR/TR DEFENSE #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 DE Xander Yarborough Thaxton, Ryan RS SR/TR Kirby, Stacy RS JR Incoming Transfer Grant, Darrien RS SR NT Pinkney, Kelvin GR Green, Blake GR/TR Kegler, Kevin GR DT Mangum, Thad, GR/TR Yates, Rashawn SR Incoming Transfer TYRONE BARBER SR LEO Stewart, Jamari FR/TR Vaughn, Jason JR Logan, Tramel SO LE'VONTAE CAMIEL WLB Boyles, Dwayne SR Bellamy, Demaurez JR Harris, Mac SO Helton, Keyon RS JR Nash, Jamal SO/TR Hicks, Davon FR MLB Grier, Antonio SR Mims, Andrew RS SR Norris, Brian RS JR Copeland, Randal RS JR Gobler, Camp RS SO Ross, CJ FR CB Evans, Daquan JR Knox, Ben SO Ervil, Lubens SO/TR Nealy, Gabe FR Purcell, Bailey SO SS Robinson, TJ RS SO/TR Hill, Matthew RS SO/TR Curry, Jayden RS SO Smith, Jordan SL FS Jones II, Will RS FR/TR Davis, Vincent SR LaPointe, Mekhi RS SR Gentry, Cody SR Herring, Jalen FR CB Williams, Christian SO/TR Stokes, Jaelen FR Cromarty, Isaiah RS SR/TR Green, Joshua SR/TR STANLEY, DEQUAN FR STAR Townsel, Christopher SO Nichols, Brock GR/TR Turner, La'Javier SO SPECIAL TEAMS #1 #2 PT Stokes, Andrew FR Scribner, Kenny RS SO PK Shrader, Spencer JR Sackett, Jared SR/TR KO Shrader, Spencer JR LS Bernard, Bryce SO Deneen, Ian SR H Schneider, Trent GR/TR Stokes, Andrew FR PR Atkins, Sean RS SO Williams, Latrell RS SR/TR KR Dollison, Omarion SO Terry, Yusuf RS FR/TR impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will we be able to not get shredded by the run? Are we going to need to load up the box? Will calibull come back if we win, will Jonesy have a drunken meltdown if we get smoked?

I think they are going to stack the box and do deep in the line up for the Dline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a 100% USF moment. If we pop a ball in the air it is illegal forward propulsion or whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
