When you have top teir talent you can over come penalties the mid to late 90's UF and FSU, and the renegades of miami's golden era are proof.  But if you dont ahve that kind of top level talent you cant afford to commit penalties.  Penalties against KU were a HUGE part of that L

Anyone see the stat in the Trib who the top two penalized teams are in D1A...No. 1. UF, No. 2 USF.

[Triple B]

I'm more sick of the dropped interceptions ....

[USF03]

I'm sick of it all... we need to fix it NOW

[Minotaur]

Only for the last 7 years . . . .

I'm not happy about bad calls

but sh_t happens

roll with the punches and keep fightin' -- I'd rather be aggressive and get some penalties then lose that edge. The completely preventable ones like false starts --  those are annoying.

I guess I never get too upset about them though-- they are almost a given. Pissing and oaning over a couple of them here and there is not worth the aggravation to an ass kissing CJL lover like myself.

USF is doing about the same as the last three years, but better than the first two years in I-A. (I don't have penalty stats for the I-AA years. Anyone have the penalties for each USF game from '97-'00?)

As of the UConn game;

USF has committed an average of 8.83 penalties per game for 78.83 yards. The opponents have committed 8.17 penalties for 65.17 yards per game.

2005 USF 9.27 for 73.73 yards avg per game and opponents 7.09 for 57.82

2004 USF 9.64 for 82.55 yards avg per game and opponents 6.55 for 51.73

2003 USF 9.36 for 83.00 yards avg per game and opponents 6.27 for 47.91

2002 USF 11.64 for 98.73 yards (USF record) avg per game and opponents 7.27 for 60.36

2001 USF 10.00 for 88.00 yards avg per game and opponents 9.82 for 82.09

P.S. The 2005 season average does not include the bowl game. With the bowl game included the Bulls committed 8.83 penalties for 69.25 yards per and the opponents committed 6.50 penalties for 55.92 yards per game.

There's nothing more gut wrenching that a third and long conversion negated by a penalty.  Same goes for a third down stop on defense taken on penalties (especially bogus calls on mike Jenkins).
