very happy.   that's a myth about why teams run the spread. they run the spread because it's in vogue not because they can't get linemen for a pro-style.   we play against like competition. we hav

The O-line... they were getting beat left and right today.  I know it is very easy to blame the QB's (lets face it, there isn't a D1 caliber QB on our roster) but the 0-line was letting the defenders

Do any of you realize how good that defense is?  Our offense is not there.

We have always had issues on the o-line... I don't know why we can't draft good ones.

Also agree with the wideouts... no excuse for all of the dropped passes. I could had done better.

I think it has to do with the type of offense mostly seen in FL, which is geared toward smaller faster o line. At least I thought I read that somewhere. And also its a lot harder to find athletic big men for the line. Its funny though. My dad and uncle were all conference tackles in high school in Florida in the 30s and 40s and were considered big at 165 and 185lbs.

 

 

In any event this is something that has to be fixed... hell Tag and Judy need to drive the O-Line down to CiCi's and force feed them. We need them bigger and more imobile.

 

 

 

 

Oh no, that pizza sucks. LOL  Or at least it did when I tried them several years back, had better frozen. More like Golden Corral. But actually I think the kind of linemen we want and need are going to P5, they are scarce. You hear skill position players all the way down to DII getting into the NFL, but not a lot of O linemen.

 

But I LMAO when I read this.

 

plenty of linemen come from schools outside P5.

Which is why we tend to run the SPREAD..spread and shotgun help to hide the fact your oline is weak by spreading out the defense. I mean We cannot abandon the spread if we want to have success this year but it will take 3-4 years to install his offense and to get his players in. Unfortunately bulls fans wont last that long. You guys asked for pro style...you got it!! hope your happy...

very happy.

we play against like competition. we have similar talent.

 

we played against a top 10 defense. we don't have a top 10 line. it's as simple as that.

Probably a top 10 defense, so I am not surprised.

I am not saying we have a great or even good offensive line, but no offensive line can block 8 players!  Outside of one or two great individual plays it seems when Michigan State sent only 4 the O-line held.  The problem is we are far to predictable because of our lack of a QB.

You are correct...let's be a little more specific.

 

I don't think the o-line is that terrible.  What they did poorly in and has done poorly in is pass protection especially with blitz assignments.  I think it is more of a fundamentals and familiarity with the scheme than them not being big and talented enough.

 

A few times the guys were just letting rushers in untouched as if they were depending on someone else to block.

MSU only had 3 sacks.

 

not saying our line is top ten but Eveld does have a slow delivery and isn't very mobile. at least we don't go 5 wide anymore leaving our 5 linemen with an almost impossible task.

    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.

    "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."
