We have been down right awful on Kick Offs and Kick Off Returns.

The offense is good enough to be a decent team, but the defense is bad, and the special teams are down right atrocious.

The aggregate Sagarin Ranking still has USF ahead of Temple, Pitt, and UConn. Cuse isn't that far ahead of us.

25 Rutgers.

42 Cincinnati

45 Louisville

63 Syracuse

67 South Florida

70 Temple

80 Pittsburgh

97 Connecticut

61 Miami-Florida

The Cuse, Pitt, and Miami games are winnable and we should beat UConn. We could potentially still win 1-4 more games. We should be able to blindly stumble into 2 wins. 4 more would be a miracle at this point. I thinks it's as likely we win 4 more as it is that we lose the last 5.

The only game we're really out of is the Cincy game, but who knows, after they lost to Toledo anything is possible.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while, right?

Like Obama says, its arithmetic! One of these games we are going to intercept the ball 10 times. Its the law of averages. I hope its this week so we can get that W!

I hope that we continue to play freshmen and sophomores. Definitely more energy out there! We also need to get Floyd some reps out there.
