Hey Bulls Fans It Could Be Alot Worse!

[Bull Matrix]

USF fans have been spoiled too much IMO. USF is going to have a down year, so there is no need to worry that much. Every program goes through this, so to say that USF is different is just crazy. Leavitt is allowed to have a bad season before we call for his head. Ditto for OLeary at UCF. I think both programs will be fine in the long run. Also, true college football fans will realise that ARMY is a hell of alot better now with COACH ROSS. ARMY will win more games this season. I wont be surprised at all if ARMY gives Southern Miss all they can handle this season if they even play. Just my thoughts. I think BeatNavy can attest to Army being alot better on offense right now. They just make the good blocks and hit the right gaps on their running game. Ask Cincy about that.

I dont think it can get much worse.  I havent felt that bad about a lose in a long time.

Even ucf losing didnt offer any consoling, like it did the week we lost to usm and they lost to buffalo.  This lose hurt, it shows we are in for a long season.  Take off your bowling shoes, we are done!

hey bullman,

I feel your pain. What I did was think of the future of USF. We still have our BIG EAST invite thanks to our past success. Imagine if the invite did not come for USF??? Things could be worse for us. We have a good basketball coach that preaches discipline now, so I expect us to be proud of the hoops team in the very near future. The football team may not win another game this season, but I think we have alot of help on the way when you look at recruiting. Put it this way, USF was not a very good team last season too. And that team had JR REED, Brian Fischer, MoJo, Huey Whitaker, etc. Right now, I think our recruiting class will help with our QB situation. The main thing that we need to correct is our penalties. USF will be fine.

The main thing that we need to correct is our penalties. USF will be fine.

The Bulls were 8 for 34 yards vs Army and none of the penalties were in critical situations. The per game penalties have dropped to 11.2 for 87.8 yards per game which is under the all time high. It looks like the coaches are fixing this part, now onto the other problems that have been mentioned here.

The main thing that we need to correct is our penalties.

Penalties did not hurt USF last night. I think they had 6 for 30 yards and all were of the 5-yard variety. An acceptable number.

Everybody screams about penalties being a huge problem when they hurt USF, but when they don't they never get mentioned at all.

Maybe this isn't a great team, maybe we were fortunate to win 7 games last year, and we're just due for a "regression to average."

UCF VS USF this year:

USF offense:  Turnover.

UCF offense:  Can't score.

USF offense:  Punt

UCF offense:  Punt

USF offense:  Punt

UCF offense:  5 yards, then turnover.

End score:  nobody's watching it because their eyes started bleeding from doing so the first 3 drives.

I'm not even thinking about next year....all I want is A win.  Just to know what it feels like, anymore.  Jeesh!
