Same rule in NFL actually. A muff can't be returned.

Yeah, this is true, I thought they had different rules but just looked it up.

The TD was negated by a roughing the kicker penalty.

Are you serious? No penalty was called

Really??

On passing plays, sure. The run defense was pretty good, especially in the second half, save for the clinching touchdown. There were some nice tackles for loss.

Well if you're stubborn enough to just insist there were no good plays made by the defense, it's not hard to understand why. It's possible to both be really disappointed with a loss AND not think t

Incorrect. We declined that penalty.

The penalty did not negate the return. The rule of a muffed punt brought the TD back.

I watched a replay this morning, the call on muff or fumble could have gone either way. He started running, but he did not appear to have full possesion of the ball.

Aside from that, the penalty was running into the kicker against Rutgers. Why would a penalty against Rutgers negate a USF touchdown? Makes no sense.

I was at the game, I saw the play, but neither I nor anyone near me could understand a word that the ref said over the crappy PA system at the RJ.

You're right, it didn't make sense to me, but I went with what ESPN said in that video.

it was also a helmet to helmet hit on the punt returner (Mason Robinson) that caused the muffed punt... THAT should have negated the muff (both penalties should have negated each other) and it should have been a 15yd running into the kicker penalty on Rutgers and 1st down for USF... that was a blown call by the refs... The correct call was NOT muffed punt... due to the uncalled helmet-to-helmet hit on the punt returner...

I thought the same thing live. Shocked they didn't flag us for that hit. Our best defensive play all night was the yellow flag from the refs.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
