For all of the arguing and whining and heartache that comes with a Saturday Game Day, it is way better than not playing. Here is to a big win next week. I will watch all day today but the excitement level is not the same for my Saturday.

I don’t know how the B12 can watch the red river shootout and not see that our defense is a perfect replacement for the departing teams

This is a much needed break... I am hoping (perhaps a bit too wishfully) the coaches are working to make some adjustments and working on some of the fundamentals... and the team is healing.

Next week USF and Tulsa appear to be well matched on paper... ESPN's FPI has Tulsa with a slight edge 54 -46% based on the season so far.  Through five games, Tulsa has more passing attempts and fewer rushing attempts -- which may be good.  USF might be able to play a little more zone coverage.

The following week USF should beat Temple... in the few Owls games I've seen, they are struggling on both sides of the ball.

Then we get a short week before a road game at ECU.  To me, this will really tell us where this young USF team is going... if USF is 3-4 going into this week on a 2-game winning streak, the Pirates might be within reach.  The short week sucks and the Thursday night curse may rear it's head.

So USF could be 3-5 or, dare I dream, 4-4 heading into Houston and Cincinnati... the two hardest remaining games on the schedule.  Going 3-0 over the next three games (as hard as that will be) could give the team some confidence and playing at home could, maybe, make these games a little closer than we might expect now.  I do not expect USF to win these games -- I just hope USF v Cincy is closer than 2 TDs.

USF then finishes the season with road trips to Tulane and UCF... USF could beat them both - but could also lose to both...

So... sitting at 1-4 with a break... to me, I think USF will win at least 2 more games, and possibly / maybe as many as 5 (bowl eligible!) with a few lucky bounces.  Most likely, USF finishes the season at 4-8.  Or back to where the team was before CJS came on board.

For me 4 games placates me, 6 games has me all in and 3 or below is failing and has me more worried about the future than hopeful. If we can’t beat a bad Tulsa coming off the bye week I don’t know how anyone can sell progress but hopefully they don’t have to try.

I agree with your sentiment on Tulsa.  If we lose that game, I would appear the team has regressed from the 1-8 COVID-ravaged team... which I would have thought to be impossible.  The fan base after a loss like that might fit in Corbett Stadium.
