Curious as to what everyone thinks about our playcalling now compared to Sterling Gilbert/Kerwin Bell.

Things I have noticed:

1. Less HB dives.

2. still a lot of lateral passing to the flats.

3. More shots down field.

4. More 3rd down conversions.

5. Willingness to call trick plays.

Overall, it seems that our playcalling is better/more varied than previous OCs. I also think it shows us how devoid of talent we had been for these last three years. Receivers still drop catchable balls, QBs still throw questionable passes, o-line still gets beat up.

Agree it looks better overall this season. We definitely were not ready for the two teams we played.

If seems like this batch of coaches are more willing to change their game plan at half time as well, from what I saw against Florida.

They seem to be calling a good game especially OC...but UF just has better talent and NC State.

Want to see how this team plays vs teams with less or similar talent.

I think thats just the difference between bottom tier AAC teams and mid to upper tier P5 teams.

I think if ECU/Temple/Tulsa/Navy had our schedule they would have seen similar results weeks 1 & 2. Idk if we're that behind in conference

ECU looking a little better than I thought. Tulsa played decent last week. It’s a long season though, by the time we play these guys both will have had some changes.

Hoping these early two games make our guys stronger.

They play calling hasn't been the issue this season. It's the lack of execution. I'm hoping the missed tackle issue gets corrected.

We need to focus on the red zone more because when we get there we don't know what to do.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
