Deep Thoughts - By Jack Handey, Bulls Football - Past and Future

[bull2bull]

Past

• BYU looks to be a top 15 team. Top10 O-line in county with NFL talent. Favored Saturday over No. 9 Baylor.
• Looked like the difference between 2-3 star players vs 3-4 star players. A lot of our players still look like skinny high school players. May be age difference too as BYU has older players but look at game pics....it seemed like it was filled out men vs boys at times.
• BYU's one weakness on defense may have been secondary speed. Should have kept throwing over the top early and often.....more TE plays, they worked. Our small receivers couldn't block on screens so stop doing that with good teams.
• Our secondary looked worse than last year....no excuse for not expecting a hurry up offense and not getting calls in. Play press coverage and bump these guys at the line. Rather give up 2-3 long ones a game than 20 underneath. 
• Looks like the Big 3 is back. Obviously the best time for USF to start IPF was 15 years ago and OCS 10 years ago. Next best time is now.
• Louisville looks worse than expected and ECU looks better than expected.

Future

• Need  to handle Howard with ease and work on all the plays. We are desperate and beyond the not showing UF and UL what we run on offense.
• Play UF competitively like in the 2nd half last year. They will beat UK this weekend and likely be a Top 15 team along with BYU next week.
• Louisville game is a must win....especially if University of Chainlink Fence handles them easily tonight. They will likely be 0-3 when we play them.
• ECU game is a must win or there will be no chance at bowl eligibility.
• Who will be the starting QB for USF to open the stadium vs Miami? Is it a redshirted Freshman we already have on roster or is it High School Sophomore that we use this scenario to recruit a stud?
• Can we get good enough by 2026 to have College Gameday help open the stadium with us.

The weed must have kicked in right before the last bullet point.

UF will be more important than Howard IMO. 

Howard we should beat and there's little difference between 41 to 10 and 48 to 0 or whatever. 

But if we get knocked around by UF we really have made no progress, still, and that'll be the scary part. If we look competent, let playmakers make plays, and keep it within a score or two, that'll do. If we play our best and they overlook us, anything can and will happen.

I'm afraid unless this team has improved tremendously...UF is going to be a slaughter.

My apologies Cardinals, apparently birds do have teeth.
