a few stats to point out from game

[Matt]

i know the only one that counts is the final score but something to point out..

we had more first downs, we were better on third down, had more yards, ran more plays, and fewer penalties

but....we still lost.

    their WR pushing off on a no call really helped them get one of their TDs

[___ Eats It]

Three turnovers to their one didn't help either.

alright from where I was that looked really bad...but my vantage point was the upper level, and by that time about 15 drinks in.  How bad was it?  

Don't mean to hijack the thread but I haven't seen this elsewhere...

There is very simple reason since you know the last 3 games, USF scored only 2 TDs.

RED ZONE PROBLEM!!!

- Too many fast DBs in end zone because too many WRs

- OC made terrible calls.

- not necessary quick snap leaded to false start penalty

- Reserve play

- PJ threw 10 or 20 seconds hang-time lob.

Why can't they send 2 backs and 1 TE and how easy to hit WR with quick slant, in or inside hook route with pass-action to pull LBs to free space up in back end zone? It's difficult to hit inside route with too many fast DBs.

USF would be WOOOWWWW if we have good passer.

problem is this game could have been a lot worse

we stopped them on the goal line and at the end of the gamewhen they missed the fg they were simply running the ball and we let them go down the field...has they been trying they may have scored another td.

we broke a few nice runs and the one pass from c4 to #2  other than that.....

our offense is pathetic

there is no redeeming quality to our offense

i would blow it up and start over

going over the game stats is rather silly

we scored no points in a game that is suppose to showcase our team

[RunningoftheBulls]

Going into the game,  if Andre Hall rushed for 100 yards we were 5-0.  Also,  if NC State gave up a 100 yard rusher,  they were 0-5.

thats why stats don't always tell the entire story.

[South_Florida_Flip]

We were effective in running the ball. We should have continued with the option with Hall and Ponton in the backfield. Julmiste could have taken some of thos runs himself.

We don't pass to the TE enough. The one completion to the TE went for good yardage since NC State wasn't expecting it. High percentage pass with good results. It's better than those lob passes that PJ puts too much air under.

Even though you make total sense, it's almost as if you never typed these statements.

Guess you didn't have on your Secret Green-Goggled USF Message Board glasses while typing it?

There is a HUGE difference between settling - and being negative - this is simple a statement of someone (like me) who doesn't feel all happy happy joy joy or get the warm-fuzzy because the team just showed-up at a bowl game.

This team needs serious work before next year. Leavitt needs to figure out what is WRONG with the offense, and fix it. Apparently, from one of his statements in one of the other threads he hasn't been thinking about it much. Well, he needs to start.

****, people. I'm seriously glad you can get a rise out of looking at stats. However, remember the high school chant, "Check out the scoreboard"! All that matters. Period.
