When was Scott’s hire presser? Every season he is here our elimination gets earlier and earlier. We are not even done with this season and have already been eliminated for next season. I think that’s a first in the college world.

That would be October 29th of 2022.

Yup... this is the only second time USF has been 1-7, but the 7th loss came later in 2020.

I would guess - before today - 2020, having won only the opening game against Citadel (September 12th) and amassing seven losses by November 14th (Houston). 2022 - as of today - safe to assume that we're on track to be eliminated from bowl contention as of the seventh loss of the season effective October 29th.

Upon further review, the penalty will be enforced on the next post. 😆

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
