In Game Updated! The TBP Official In Game Thread: USF Bulls at Cincinnati Bearcats

[BullsFanInTX]

Give the team credit and don't over analyze this one.  The team played very well this week.  They just did.  As much as we bash them, give them some credit for playing well this week.

This was a close, back and forth game that went down to the last few minutes, despite the injuries on defense.  I'm tired of the blowouts, at least we had a chance in this one.  4th down play sucked, but if we ran it up the middle and got stopped, someone would be complaining that we should had done something different.

He is the best we have had in a while.

That is all fine and good but if we want to win those games, he can't throw terrible pick 6s, see UF game and miss Weaver when he is wide open and could change the whole game. I am not saying he isn't a good QB, but the missed throws are why teams lose instead of win. Too many schools, that are smaller than ours have very good QB1, GB is a solid power runner but we will not win unless he makes little or no mistakes since our D doesn't rank very well.

Well it's a team game and like you said, the combination is currently not there enough to win.  Or the play calling punches us in the taint late in the game.

Playing the game "well" is fine... but when do you play better to win.. 

[Skingraft]

Well... Fine... Effort.... Close.... Decent....

None of these are synonyms for win

Correct but I think there's a pretty good chance our 230 pound quarterback back can move the pile one yard.  He's a physical runner.

We are not even in the Florida or Cincinnati games without Bohanon.  He played his butt off.  He's running for 100 yards a game and passing decently overall.  

There is no perfect player.  The Cincy QB threw two interceptions.  Yeah he missed Weaver, but I think he may have been under duress.  He is not at fault for this loss. 

Cincinnati has a heck of a team.  May go 11-1.  Sometimes you just tip your cap to them and say they played a little bit better.
