Change three plays...Bulls are 7 & 1...That's crazy to me!

[BullDoug]

vs UCONN - Scott's fumble for a Husky TD - D really had the Huskies corraled until they couldn't get them off the field at the end - defensive fatigue?

vs Cinci - The 30+ yard pass on UC's final drive given this doesn't happen on any other plays (time runs out if they need 3 more plays to get inside the 15 yardline. A late drive given up...defensive fatigue or just prevent soft coverage?

vs Rutgers - Marc attempt to pick up the punt (USF doesn't give up a FG) or Bonanai's missed FG, no OT (this for 100% sure). Another late drive for a TD...soft coverage or fatigue again?

Scott's fumble was bad, but our offensive play calling all game was brutal and that's why we lost.

Cincinnati has 2 timeouts left when they started their final drive and it ended with them still having 2 timeouts on the board.

Marc's play was the difference against Rutgers. We were totally in control of that game and it went South quickly after that.

We're more than 3 plays away from 7 and 1, but the bottom line is that we should be 7 and 1.

...we SHOULD and COULD be 7 and 1. I forgot about the timeouts vs Cinci but would they of made a difference. They didn't use them to the 12 sec mark which is three more plays. TOs maybe gets them 2 more plays. The 30+ yard gain was a backbreaker though. 8^P You are correct in saying there are probably 25-30 FBS teams in the same boat as the Bulls. Still think Scott should get the rock 30x per game. This type of thing with the RB was a issue with Leavit's squads too.

[IncrediBULL]

maybe 10 - 15 plays we could be 7 - 1. But clearly that is on the coaches. We are giving up a lot of yardage near the end of the games.

We have a knack of snatching defeat from the hands of victory - 3 times in a row now....

that's what I was thinking

We keep up this stuff and you can bet to hear it from our UCiF friends, er, I mean rivals (I'm growing more comfortable with that these days).

Apparently, per post game comments, Scott was injured. After the fumble and on Saturday against Rutgers too.

[BullFan98]

I saw him grabbing his wrist throughout the game after running the ball. Any other injuries?

[Brad]

One of the blogs reported the wrist, that's it.

[Apis Bull]

A couple plays and we could be 3-5 also.

[2000bull]

you know IF we scored more touchdowns than our opponents, we would be undefeated.

I know most of you are on the coaching staff's arse and BJ but see below. Yes most of it is rehtoric. I DO really think we need to run Scott more with Murray just giving him a rest or on third downs. Maybe even take some plays from GaTech and put them on the field at the same time too. Keeping the D off the field will really help. Anyway change these plays and the season has totally different expectations.

Bulls would probably would be ranked and favored to win the BE. Why can't this team compete in the BE? It truly baffles me. My 15 yr old son says the Bulls are only good for an upset win every year. There is some truth there. I can understand the Pitt loss a bit - short week, on the road, after three patsies, just not ready mentally and as always killed by a power runner.

Turnovers are killing this team, late drives given up by the D and Bonanai's poor performance is hurting also. Specialty teams are not exactly stellar either. Sometimes I wonder if this team would compete better in the ACC, SEC or B12 because the so called traditional teams would be bigger motivation. I think this team can get to 6-6. I see a win vs UL in Tampa and 1-2 wins out of other three, probably Syracuse but I can see an upset of WV. Game will be similar to the UC game. Miami will be motivated due to last yr. That one will be tuff. Bulls got the thier coach fired and thier QB will be motivated for throwing the late INT.

One thing on the Marc missed punt pickup Sat. Rarely do I yell at my TV anymore. I screamed "What the hell are you doing?" and had to leave the room for 5 mins. One of the worst decisions I have ever seen on a football field. Why do even consider picking that up inside the 15 y'line. If I was CSH, I would have benched him.

you are a true fan to look at it like this
