What do we exploit?  They struggled with Syracuse it looks like...

Also looks like McCoy can still tote the rock and this other guy Stephens-Howling got some yards and TDs.  Looks like they are two-thirds run and are weak on the passing game (QB 2 TDs, 3 INTs, 57% completion %).  They've slid by some weak opponents.  Not the Pitt team everyone was touting in the preseason I suppose.  78th in rush defense and 89th in pass defense.

What say you football junkies?

Stevens-Howling scares me more than McCoy. I think because teams aren't keying in on him like McCoy, but we've got to make sure to keep both in check. Control the ball on offense and put up some points.

Key on defense will be tackling. If we can wrap them up, we'll be fine.

USF Defense is #4 against the run.

We must protect well against their Pass Rush.

Bulls win by ten.  Defense keeps rounding into shape.  Special teams creates a couple wtf moments.  Best spread offense in the country (I mean that) produces 400 yards like it's easy.

USF then heads into a much-deserved bye week. . . . . . Carolina Bull takes his kids to the zoo on 10/11/08.

If we can stop the run we will win. The running game is what killed us last year. Although we cant focus on it to much because as we saw this week and last week we are very prone to the deep ball

Exactly.  They lead the Big East is sacks... but our OL is darn good at pass protection.

We just need to bring the A game do that we win.

I hate Saban but after the game last night he said something I totally agree with.

He said something like you have to bring emotion and come out fired up ready to play every game, if not

you can lose any game.

Line of scrimmage is th key to the Pitt Game, if Pitt can't run they don't have a chance.  On the flip side, if the O-line for USF has another soutstanding performance then Grothe will pick apart the Pitt Defense.

THE COIN TOSS!!!!!  Win the coin toss and get the ball first.  Score, stop 'em, then score again.  HEY HEY!!!!  They abandon the run to try to come back.
