Way Too Early 2024 Football Season Predictions

I suspect coach has FAU circled after his FAU post-game comments.

If FAU knows our defensive calls we need some kind of wrinkle.

BULLSHTR's 2024 Football Season Prediction

Week 1: Bethune Cookman - Loss (0-1, 0-0)

— Our guys get caught looking ahead to next week playing @ Tuscaloserville and the scrappy HBCU team from Daytona has an FAU-esque made up rivalry moment and stuns us at home.

 

Week 2: @ Alabama - Loss (0-2, 0-0)

— The team has a major confidence issue from their embarrassing season home opener. Alabama jumps out to an early lead, but then USF surprisingly hangs in there enough to where it doesn't get too ugly. Once again, Saban goes for style points with the clock winding down in the 4th quarter.

 

Week 3: @ Southern Miss - Loss (0-3, 0-0)

— It's Week 3 and the team is beat up. On top of that, we have Miami at home next week and once again, we are only thinking about getting back home and taking it to the Hurricanes. Southern Piss takes advantage and wins in a shootout in double OT.

 

Week 4: Miami - Loss (0-4, 0-0)

— More players on the injured list. Also, Miami is playing great and they win making it look easy.

 

Week 5: @ Charlotte - Win (1-4, 1-0)

— The season has gotten off to a terrible start, but now conference play starts. Golesh gets the team's head on straight and comes out with their first win of the season on the road at Charlotte. 1 and 'O in the AAC!

 

Week 6: @ FAU - Loss (1-5, 1-1)

— USF comes ready to play this time, but FAU is still out for blood. Both teams are playing lights out, but there are penalty flags every few plays. At times, the players seemed to stop caring about the rules. FAU pulls out a close one with their slight home-field advantage and every USF fan is worried that FAU is "passing" us.

 

Week 7: @ Rice - Win (2-5, 2-1)

— Another week on the road, but this time it's cream-puffed Rice. We win this one easily, but it's still not clear if our team is good.

 

Week 8: @ Tulane - Loss (2-6, 2-2)

— With their HC and QB gone, this is not the Tulane team of yore. They still are fundamentally good and win this high-scoring, back-and-forth game.

 

Week 9: UAB - Win (3-6, 3-2)

— Nobody knows what UAB was on, the last time we met. This time though, the Bulls stampede the team from Birmingham and show signs of greatness. This is the team we thought we were!

 

Week 10: Memphis - Win (4-6, 4-2)

— Despite the 0-4 start, the team is already in a 3-way tie for 1st place in the AAC. A win here would put them ahead of Memphis. The team is at home and puts on a clinic.

 

Week 11: Navy - Win (5-6, 5-2)

— The Bulls carry the momentum right through the next two games.

 

Week 12: Tulsa - Win (6-6, 6-2)

— Easy win and the team is on a hot 4-game win streak going into a championship rematch against Tulane.

 

Week 13: AAC Championship vs. Tulane - Win (7-6, 7-2)

— This game looks a lot like the first game, but this time USF comes out on top and wins our first conference championship.

 

Week 14: Non-NY6 Bowl - Win (8-6, 7-2)

— We play the 5-7 Gators in the Gasparilla Bowl and hand them an L. This time our kicker makes a couple clutch field goals.

I am so good at this that I had us winning only three games this year.  That being said, I'll venture a ten to nine win season next year (being ranked at the end of the season).  We have the coach, QB, WRs and our defense has shown that it can rise to the occasion.  Coach is building a strong foundation with HS recruits, so I would say that the year after will go down in the history books for USF.

tryna be realistic, i bet we lose a winnable game like that along the way. Just an opinion

So we improve by only 1 win?

We’re talking about regular season. 6-6 vs 8-4 is a lot different

I'm hoping we catch Miami again.  That would be nice for the hype train.

New players and don't change the signals, but their play call meaning. Easy way to find out if they stole your signs. TCU coach did it versus Michigan.

TCU knew of Michigan’s sign-stealing and outsmarted them, per report

The Horned Frogs were ready for Michigan in more ways than one
