Vaas on USF offense: 'We are who we are' - Accept it and quick whining!

[Sellular1]

If I hear that BJ couldn't grip the ball in that weather one more time,  I am gonna ask my girlfriend if she can take a snap or two. That is a girl's excuse. Pathetic.

Am I correct that each team uses their own ball while they are on offense?  I remember the ND game balls had USF logos while we were on offense.

Pretty sure you are correct.  I guess you can't dip the balls in the Gatorade bucket?

I thought so... Wouldn't you think some scrub trainer dude would have the USF footballs shoved down his pants, heating them up for BJ????

I think I saw the UCONN defensive coordinator wearing this shirt on the sidelines:

The funny thing is play action is worthless if you play action and toss it 5 feet. Be aggressive, play action and toss it downfield. Even if it is incomplete, that backs up the defense.

[DELdaBull]

That's 6 quarters of being inept on offense.

[SANJAY]

Not inept. "Different."

What do you think the other defenses are doing ?  They are daring us to throw it down field.  They load the box which makes our run game look even more awesome then it is.  They are not worried in the least about us beating them with our passing game.  Until we show otherwise they will load the box and do 1 on 1 coverage on our WRs.  Is it BJ or WRS - I don't know but I do know we have no passing game - if we did we would use it.

Here is an excerpt from an article in today's St. Pete Times:

'You want to stay out of third and must-pass situations,' Fitch said. 'It gives a free rein to the defense. … Where our talents lie, it's probably not our strong suit. We have to continue to work and find ways to be successful.' Connecticut's defense had been porous against the pass in losses to Western Michigan and West Virginia, giving up a com­bined 948 passing yards. But USF didn't throw downfield, cit­ing weather conditions and less man coverage from the Hus­kies. Taking away screen passes, the Bulls went 4-for-13 for 50 yards on downfield passes, but quarterbacks coach Peter Vaas said the offense wasn't going to change its identity because of the success other teams had enjoyed against UConn.

We've beaten the weather thing to death.  But now a new one with the "less man coverage...." 

Why is it when we play a zone defense teams throw the ball like crazy against us to wide open receivers?  These excuses are pretty pitiful.

I don't get it. do teams not throw down field against a zone?

Holtz needs to take one for the team. come out and say their game plan was terrible.

they threw it down field three times against a team that had given up close to a 1000 yards through the air in their last two.

quit with the excuses. come out and admit you're human and made a mistake.

I guess "they are who we thought they were" Seems like a good time for Denny.

Someone should introduce coach Vaas to Herm.
