I'll even grant UCF the whole playing at home/last game of the rivalry angle as to why we didn't destroy them.The question, year in and out, is will USF lose to the teams they're supposed to wallop?We cannot squeak by the Pathers, like last year. If we want to control our destiny, we need to lay the lumber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A night game up at NC State. Their offense is very suspect but they have an athletic defense. Plus its a night game, and the Wolfpack play better at night. I think we will handle FIU tomorrow and then we will need to get refocused for the Wolfpack. We can't afford to look ahead to Pitt next week. One game at a time!

One game at a time!The scary thing about FIU is that you rarely get better or develop any momentum when you club patsies like baby seals.Tennesse Martin was simply a W. Nothing more. Nothing less. FIU will be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIU will be the same.Please explain how FSU is ranked after beating two 1AA teams. Holly cow. USF needs to focus on one team, FIU. They are Florida Athletes and will come to play. I like what Leavitt said on the call they are a good team and will play 60 minutes of Football. Remember, each team exposes your weakness and you need to see it quickly and adjust. We did for Kansas.

Guest JulmisteForPrez Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 If we don't beat FIU by 20 points or more, I can see us dropping a spot or two in the rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
