hbryan Posted October 13, 2009 Group: Member Topic Count: 0 Content Count: 4,259 Reputation: 39 Days Won: 3 Joined: 09/16/2006 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Objective analysis with absolutely no bias.The USF Bulls will win because:1. Our team is taking it personal that we have lost the last three years to these WKRP clowns.2. Our defense will be at a speed and hitting level exceeding the FSU game.3. The Bulls defense will have a minimum of three TO's and will have 21 points off of TO's.4. The secondary will clamp down on the Pike to Gilyard connection limiting the impact.5. The Bulls are home and "No One, I Repeat No One, Comes Into Our House and Pushes Us Around"6. Cincy has National Championships dancing around in their heads, and they won't have the focus required of Thursday night.7. Defense trumps offense and the Bulls defense is better than the Meerkats.8. Our offensive line wiill play like studs and open up copius holes to allow for nearly 200 yards of rushing.9. Lindsay Lamar will have a return for a TD.10. Our team wants it MORE!!

slowdown Posted October 13, 2009 Group: Member Topic Count: 0 Content Count: 993 Reputation: 121 Days Won: 0 Joined: 06/05/2007 Share Posted October 13, 2009 We'll focus on stopping the run and the big play. Make Cinci break one or string together a lot of completions per drive. We'll get a couple big defensive plays ourselves.On offense this will be our biggest dose of Mike Ford yet, we'll also see more designed running from BJ and try to dial up a couple big ones. Offense has been good this year about using all the field in the passing game, cause BJ has the arm to really fire in some mid range passes, really can make a difference when your QB can drill some passes in on 3rd and longs. Just one more such conversion a game is huge. We will want our offense to stay on the field!Ultimately we will win because we have guys at every level of the defense capable of making that play. Nate Allen, JPP, Joseph, K Wilson, Murphy, Selvie almost now an afterthought and I think a freak like J Williams could end up in the right spot sometime Thursday too. When you can put that many talents on the defense, the gaps Kelly and Pike are trying to pick apart will be the smallest they've been since the Orange Bowl last year.

The Great 8 Posted October 14, 2009 Group: Member Topic Count: 0 Content Count: 3,802 Reputation: 372 Days Won: 3 Joined: 09/21/2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 We're the best defense Cincy has seen all year. With a heavy dose of Mike Ford as well as Cincy's abysmal TOP average we'll wear down their defense that'll also have to contain BJ's feet and his cannon arm. We have the fastest DB's and LB's they'll face all year. Gilyard, et al. won't get their usual YAC stats. They haven't faced a team that could get enough pressure on Pike with just the front 4. We will. Those short passes are going to be more difficult with the extra (and fast) coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the W-L record, FSU offense has been nearly as prolific as Cincy's and against much better competition than UC has faced. We shut them down. I believe our full offense has yet to be released completely. Our offense will be better than their defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick1ru2 Posted October 14, 2009 Group: Member Topic Count: 0 Content Count: 14,415 Reputation: 445 Days Won: 13 Joined: 07/25/2008 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Because we have an "NFL quality" line per 'Cuse. Because we didn't just beat FSU, we beat them up. We have players on both sides of the ball that will be playing on Sunday. We have coordinators that are the best we have ever had. I don't think many thought we would be undefeated at this point. So this team isn't meeting its expectations, its exceeding them. Its not saying, its doing. And I think USF is doing a great job making the Tampa Bay area aware of the game and support the team. As pointed out, with the Rays and Bucs not going anywhere, Tampa is ripe for the Bulls being the focus of the town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
