"USF once achieved No. 2 in the first BCS Rankings (the season ended up in the Sun Bowl) and have not been ranked since Charlie Strong’s first season at USF in 2007"

Has it been that long?  Everyone is a "journalist" these days.

Hehe typo.

Yup:
1 - The Bulls are kind of stuck in the American Conference

Also, ouch:
We know it is early in the season, but USF ranks 126th (out of 131 schools) in rushing defense and 125th in total defense. Despite losing to the Bulls last week, Howard still managed 24 first downs. USF has also allowed 35 points a game.

I thought maybe they were trying to say ""USF once achieved No. 2 in the first BCS Rankings in 2007 (the season ended up in the Sun Bowl) and have not been ranked since Charlie Strong’s first season at USF in 2007", but that's not even accurate as we were ranked for a few weeks in 2018.

The Chuckles years get worse as time goes by

I also liked “Jeff Scott did a heck of a job at Clemson, but is 4-19-1 so far at USF with only one FBS win (over Temple) in his third season.”

I am wondering what that tie is?

The only thing I could conceive was a game that couldn't be played due to COVID, but that doesn't really make sense. Maybe we tied in one of our scrimmages and they are listing it to bolster his record a bit!

This is the definition of rewriting history. Is Strong now our most successful coach ever ? This guy deserves to be fired.

Among all the typos and stuff, he did make a kind of an interesting observation ....

USF has done everything right in trying to make itself look sexy to the Big 12, but the league dealt a severe blow to the school by taking UCF and leaving USF behind. Tampa is the 12th biggest TV market in America, but perhaps the fact this is only the 26th season of football at USF was a factor.
