So the USF defense goes from ASLEEP to A SLEEPER in one season?

I have no doubt that Jeff Scott cared about his players, as he seemed like a genuinely nice person. He was buttcheeks as a coach though, so 🤷‍♂️

I often pretended to sleep while our defense was on the field the last two years so I could keep my eyes closed.

those naps were not very long. Didn't take long for the opposing team to score and give the ball back to our O.

Correction, The original poster does this every year, we aren’t any good on the field but **** he makes us look like world beaters on paper.  He knows the roster better than anyone on the board however he has a tendency to look at these guys with some very thick rose colored glasses, take his analysis with a grain of salt and a fifth of Tito’s, it makes more sense that way. 

100% correct. Think he even predicted us to win 10 or more games last year and the year before.

Well I had a feeling we were going to a bowl game last year.  It was kinda unbelievable how bad it went.  Now I predict nothing.

I would love to see the defense taking a huge step forward this season, but we will have to wait and see. It is all going to come down to the new defensive line and linebackers getting at the quarterback and running behind or at the line of scrimmage. Our defensive backs were really bad the last 3 seasons and most of them will be starting. I hope it was all coaching, but I will have to wait and see before saying there is going to be major improvement.

Yep. There were a lot of positive vibes heading into the season last year. Many of us thought for sure we were taking the next steps toward a bowl game. And then the first play of the game against BYU happened.

It is not unbelievable it is the vision of AD MK extension for all program coming to full fruition.  When you extend losing coaches and reward losing you will lose more.

And I shall continue to predict winning seasons b/c we are all "predicting". Why am I going to call out a bad season when it hasn't happened yet? I've been watching CFB for over 25 years and seen a million upsets and a million teams have surprisingly great seasons. UCF went from 6-6 to a 12-0 season right after. **** like that happens all the time. Why can't it happen to us?

Our OL was the best part of the team last year. It is going to be interesting to see how the new crew performs. It would be great if Jennings took a big step forward and lead the inexperienced line.

It sucks Jennings suffered an injury, but its definitely a blessing to have him help transition the next group of Offensive lineman.
