Is it the talent?

[TherapyBull]

There is a clear disctinction between 1-A and 1-AA (FCS), this is not a BCS, NON BCS Scenario (Although we used to never lose to non BCS teams)

 

There is some sentiments on this board that we have the talent and why cant we win, this is green and gold bias at its finest. Talent is a major problem, recruiting has been suspect for quite some time. Gary Shleton even stated in todays paper.

 

Football is an ultimate team sport and one player cannot take over a game like a stud in basketball or a dominant pitcher in baseball.

 

If our talent was good, it would show against a 1 -AA team, our defense would not give up 53 points, give up all those first downs, our offense would manage to score more than 7 points before the game got out of hand and the other team layed back, our special teams would hit a field goal, not throw a snap over the punters head, and out return team would down the ball in the endzone when we can take it out to the 25 yard line.

 

Taggart is known as a recruiter and he has a lot of work to do............

 

Of course its the talent

A total of seven McNeese players have been named to various College Football Performance Awards watch lists and another 12 players have been voted onto the preseason All-Southland Conference teams as well as other organization all-conference and all-America teams.

They have some good players on their team, including top transfers from D1 programs. Just because they're in the FCS that doesn't mean they automatically suck and we should beat them 100-0. Bunch of ignorant football fans on here.

Are you kidding me? You are justifying the worst loss by a 1-A school to a1-AA one based on Mcneese having 7 players on the college football performance awards watch lists? Really?

I don't think he's trying to justify that worst loss ... there is no real justification for that ... just pointing out that it wasn't a Charleston Southern that did that to us.

And you would be another fine example of an ignorant unknowledgable football fan. They have solid players and it showed. There is a reason they have nearly 20 players on watchlists and up for conference and all american recognition. Just because they are FCS, doesn't mean they suck. Wake up and smell the coffee, parity exists today.

[Paisa el Toro]

I saw guys kind of sulking around long before the game was truly over. I think it is the lack of pride as much as the talent. I saw eveld and lynch trying to fire people up but it didn't work.

 

A good bunch of our players take after our previous coach--soft.

They have solid players and it showed? They played us and dominated, it sure did show, this whole thread is about USF lacking a talented roster so essentially you are veryfying what people are saying.

 

Parity exsists today? Really, I must have slept through the parity between FBS and FCS over the offseason. Apparently everyone else has as well.

 

I see they have 4 First Team all Southland conference players, 5 Second Team all Southland conference players, and 3 Third Team all Southland conference players. Yes, they appear to have a solid team for the Southland Conference. I know people like to rip the AAC but are we comparing the AAC with the Southland now? This team was 4-3 last season in the Southland, certainly USF should have seen this juggernaut coming.

 

Love the passion and the name calling, and maybe McNeese State will run the table and win the FCS National Championship, but again this thread is about USF lacking a talented roster, and what was displayed on the field against an FCS school confirms that in my boat.

 

 

[Rocky Style]

Coach T. said that we have enough talent but we don't have enough winners.  That means they have forgotten what it takes to win, but they certainly have the talent to do so.  In other words, it could be turned around.

Not to mention an established, successful HC.

 

Great coaching and experience can trump talent. You guys see Clowney against NC? He was contained for most of the game. The player people say is going to be the first defensive player to win the Heisman, across from at least 1 new starter, was limited to 3 tackles and 3 QB Hurries..against NC? How? Coaching.

First defensive player to win the Heisman was Charles Woodson, big guy.

 

And the coach at UNC, Larry Fedora, right?  He's in his 2nd season at UNC now, so I think he's in a better position to know the capabilities of his players when the so-called "bullets" are flying, unlike a first-year guy like ... Willie Taggart, for example.

I think Woodson is generally considered the first defensive player, but not as his primary reason for winning. Didn't he go ******* on kick returns that year?

He went ******* on everything ... he even played receiver a bit that year, I believe.  He did a little bit of everything.  Still, he was primarily a CB and was most definitely the first "defensive" player to win it.  

 

Obviously, Clowney probably won't be able to do all Woodson did, but the blueprints are out there for stopping him.  Can he overcome, is the question.
