Can everyone calm down?

There is no way our talent is so bad that we got prison raped by UAB and FAU with first year head coaches.  Hell Monmouth put up 20 and gave up 42 to FAU.  Is our talent worse than Monmouth?  This roster is littered with p5 transfers,.  It can't be that bad..

Talent is not where we need to be but all this on talent is a cop out. Coaching is definitely not where it needs to be these games should be atleast competitive not over by halftime.

To be fair, the game yesterday wasn't over until the 32nd minute ....

No. We just got the breaks beat off us by FAU. There is no calm.

Agreed! Grab your pitchforks!!

FAU has been slowly and quietly building their program over the years.    They did one thing USF has been dragging its feet on until recently; they built an OCS.   Maybe if USF had to suffer playing games in an old dump like Lockhart Stadium then we would have built an OCS years ago.

FAU was not a scrub team just because they came from CUSA.   There was probably a reason the AAC invited FAU, and I doubt it was just the sunny beaches at Boca Raton.  

I did not like losing to them, but I would not call them a "glorified community college" team.

True we were sort of in it till mid 3rd. I didn't drag the family out till the punt return for a td. That was my breaking point.

 So if we beat UConn by 30, does the board turn a 180 once again?

glorified community colleges

So, if we take a retrospective, going back around four years or so, would be viewed as a "glorified community college"? There are times, and I suppose it comes from having green-n-gold eyewear epoxied to your nose, that we overinflate our position in the grand scheme of things. FAU is not that far removed from U of SF when it comes to football. I think that experience in coaching really does matter, hence the difference between a coach with prior head-coach experience and a coach with prior ASSISTANT head-coach experience. The title may not convey the level of difficulty and experience needed to succeed, but it's starting to look like there might be a pattern. 

We are 4-4 with Western Kentucky. We are 1-2 against UAB, and winless in two games against Alabama. BUT we are one game up (3-2) against the "glorified community college of Boca Raton". So, I think we might just be right where we are expected to be (objectively speaking).  A loss? Not surprising or shocking. Margin of loss? Extremely surprising and shocking.
