It doesn't just happen because of a good showing at Reptile World.

While it's fresh in mind, what do you see the differences to be and what will you want to see Saturday?

I saw a little bit of two Louisville games.  Cunningham will run if you let him, probably more than we saw AR15 run.

What do you think will be emphasized?  What will be critical?

Defensively, contain Cunningham and get off the field on 3rd down. We were actually able to get off the field on 3rd down a few times with the Gators and it was a refreshing change.

Offensively, keep the same aggressive offensive mindset, and hopefully Gerry is more locked in passing the ball. We left a lot of yardage (and thus probably points) on the field on balls that were just a little long or a little high.

Pretty much echo this!

Protect the corners and push Cunningham into passing on a long 3rd down. 

Running is our key to victory more accurate passing.

Go BULLS !!!

Stay aggressive on defense. I think we have a better chance making Cunningham beat us throwing than we do if he's allowed to run. Gotta find some way of containing him AND getting some pressure. On offense, just have to make the plays that are available.

Contain Cunningham and make him beat us with his arm.

Run, run, run on offense. Don't turn it over.

In both their losses they turned it over 3 times. They're averaging 10 penalties a game. We just need to stay disciplined on defense and force them to stop the run on offense. They've allowed 190+ yards rushing every game and Battie is averaging 10 yards a carry right now.

This is probably the best summary.

I think I saw part of their game against the tinmen and some of Cuse.  I remember thinking their defense seemed a little porous.  I don't have the detail recall to support that, but looking at stats they are giving up yardage through air and on ground in equal manner, averaging about 415 yards/game.  

The UL offense is averaging 19.3 ppg.  Defense giving up 26.67 ppg.

Their defense looked atrocious in the first have against c. but they stepped up big time in the second half.

So the key is moving the ball on offense and keeping theirs off the field and maybe some spicy INTs...

    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.
