1st ever shutout

[Kizarvexis]

So, the Bulls suffered their first shutout.

What do you think about it? I think it stinks.

Should the Bulls have kicked the FG to end the game at 14-3? I'm not sure.

Jim Leavitt could give a rat's ass about "the streak."  There were 18 seconds left on that 4th down pass.  A score, an onside kick, and a hail mary.  Sure, it's improbable, but kicking the FG in that situation is the equivalent of waving the white flag and admitting defeat.

I'm glad Leavitt didn't do that.  He fought until the end, because he believed his players could execute and make it happen.  Which is more than 95% of the people on this board can say.

Um yeah, ditto. I was breaking down that same improbability ot my friend I was there with.

No way - you go for the win.  You have to be thinking touchdown, onside kick and touchdown no matter how much time is on the clock.  Screw historical stats for the record books.

posting for the poll vote is idiot.. we believe we will suffer some shutout some games in the future anyway.. Miami, UF , FSU had numerous shutout.  Who cares.. I agree with biggTipp.

[Grateful Dad]

I disagree.  There was really no hope at that point.  There was no reason, judging by the last hour of football, that we could put points up any other way.  Going out with some points would have salvaged some self-respect as well as some modicum of respect from around the country.  We came out with nothing.  I would rather have had the points. :-/

 Screw historical stats for the record books.

and if espn is in charge, it may actually be recorded as a usf win.

You play to win, not to kick meaningless FGs.  Streaks are bound to end at some point, thats why they are called streaks........

Good to see some of you guys at the Wyndham Hotel.  Maybe next bowl game our offense will show up.

Great Job Defense!!

Never, ever give up!!!!!!!!  The only chance of staying in the game is to go for the TD.  Who cares if it's 14-3 or 14-0 but the name of the game is winning and your coach was going for the win even if the odds were very low.  Both team missed FGs and I believe our QB scored at the 1.  Make the score 24-6 if if makes you feel better.  Keep working to improve and we'll do the same; our offense has some really good players but some glaring weakdays.  Our D can be as good as any in the nation!  Good luck to the BULLS!
