We have to be up for every game and play our best or we will struggle and lose.But we are still 5-1 and are capable of winning the rest of our games. Not if we play like Pitt or FIU games but yes if we play like Kansas (third quarter) and NCST.Look at college football this year.Ole Miss BEAT Florida AT HOMEOregon State BEAT USCNavy beats a ranked Wake Forest at HOMEThis is why the last few years have been crazy about the BCS, the chances of teams being undefeated at the end are close to impossible. There will be MORE UPSETS this year count on it.Yes I want and expect our players to play better and our coaches to call better plays but I also know that the opponents will al;so do the same and sometimes theyll do a better job.These are for the most part the same players and coaches that helped USF UPSET Auburn, West Virginia (twice). Its fantastic when we do the upsetting but tough when it happens to us.So lets put it behind and support our team and coaches vs Syracuse and the rest of the season. It is all we have and at 5-1 we are still way better off than the majority of division 1A teams. maybe you rather trade places with UCF, FSU or Miami?

I'm pissed as &*((I don't blame the team as much as the coaching! ***ie OC***Defense can't stay on the field all night.You heard the saying, "send a message to Washington"????Well we need to send a message to Leavitt! Enough is enough it's about time the truth comes out. Yeah everyone on the surface states execution. Shoot that's just surface talk to smooth things over. There are no excuses our coaching has let us down time and time again (and I'm not talking about Leavitt or Burnham). The OC is not the right fit for this offense and Thursday was glaringly obvious. Cripes he couldn't even mix things up. Same old plays and same old #$*&! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitt imposed its will on a physically and mentally inferior team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two squeakers against 1A bottom feeders, and physically dominated by Pitt. Yes, you DO look like you're in your 12th year of football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
