In Holtz's defense, he has had only two full cracks at recruiting. And there have always been unrealistic expectations for USF. I've never thought this program was as close to greatness as alums and fans thought. But they were a lot closer than: They just lost to Ball State and Temple. This quote struck me odd in the Fennelly column today. And maybe it's true we tasted success too early. But I wanted to bring this question up: what do you think USF is capable of competing for consistently? (Here are some examples for comparison. I'd put Bama/LSU/USC in #1. Wisconsin/Michigan/VaTech in #2. Cincy/Iowa in #3. Kentucky/Minnesota in #4. Indiana in #5) EDIT: I'm not talking about an absolute PEAK. Just the highest reasonable level we can sustain.

There is no excuse for not going to a bowl game with our schedule. None. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically where we were Leavitt's tenure in the Big East. Made a bowl every year and always were at least competing towards the conference title. 8 to 9 wins on average. That should be sustainable, some slightly worse some slightly better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem too lofty to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we never have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
