This is what scares me. I think we will have several injuries, just hoping none of them are major. They have so much more size, speed, strength, etc.

I disagree. No moral victories. We lost... to Western Kentucky.... who had their two best wide receivers go out with injuries. We still stink badly. The defense looking better is good, but until USF c

We'll see.  Kind of a small sample size when judging whether a man knows his job.  Some posters are more patient than others.  But, I gotta say, if someone's patience doesn't extend beyond a game or t

Houston just barely beat UTSA.   I agree it is going to be difficult.  I think the Rice game will be key to us having a positive season.  

Is rice before or after UAB?  I felt like UAB was going to be the moment but may need to reassess...

Ok, good point.  However, new coach at UAB, they might be transitioning like we are.

Good-I was surprised with the fast start on offense and defense. We scored on the first drive and made a stop on the first drive.  The running game looked good, but a lot of yards of broken plays too. The defense looked better until the 2nd half of the game. The tackling and coverages were improved, but the pass rush is lacking. 

Bad- The offense is not ready to move this fast. The receivers were not able to get separation or run good routes consistently. The offensive line is really bad at pass protecting and the pocket is so small because of it. The defense was on the field faster than needed to be because of the three and outs. Brown had a bad game from quarterback but the offensive line did him zero favors. We are not going to win many games with that qb play, wr play, and offensive line play. We really should have called a time out, ran the ball, and changed qbs after the big hit he took in the red zone. The offense is going to be really run heavy again until the offensive line and receivers gel. 

I didn't expect to win, but I expected to see better coaching when the game got out of hand. The veteran coach let Goach blow his load early and show his tricks, and then Helton made adjustments. Goach was not able to make adjustments to WKU to put his team in a position to win. I expect USF to beat FAMU and lose to Bama. I hope Goach has the offense and team firing on all cylinders come conference play. The loss really hurt Goach and the team. I hope he hates losing as much as me and molds these bulls into winners ASAP.

Despite alot of mistakes we were in game late it was over when Brown had the interception in the endzone.  Really like to have seen what happend if we tied it up then. Likely lose cause WKU knows how to close games we don't...yet. That was always my concern about winning this game...it will take some time to have that Syracuse moment when it clicks...it will be beautiful when it does.

Man... one of the best post game post I've read if not the best.

I figured we would run the ball a bunch and we did. He tried to mix in that tempo and it didn't work yet. Live game experience is a different animal than practice. We will get there.

A player at the luncheon said the offense was too fast. He would know I assume.

Yea. I mean if they've never experienced it before i would expect them to say that. He's seen it work at a couple stops though. Just have to keep tweaking and figure out how to roll it out over time.

  • 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."
