Some interesting tidbits...
 

 

Engineering a two-minute drill that began around midfield, sophomore QB Mike White completed five of six passes, capped by a 2-yard TD to Andre Davis on a back-shoulder fade route. With that, USF served notice it intends to heighten its pace and production in 2014.

"That was impressive," said Coach Willie Taggart, who launched the start of spring drills in heavy fog Wednesday morning. "Last year, I don't think we ever scored a touchdown in the two-minute drill. But again, we look comfortable."

 

 

 

AUDIBLE: "I mean, you've got guys flying around. The offense is moving like I've never seen 'em before. It's amazing, man. Everybody's finally jelling with Coach Taggart's plan, and it's just amazing to see it all coming together." -- senior DT Todd Chandler

AUDIBLE II: "Nobody on this football team has a job. Not even (PK) Marvin Kloss, who was up for the Lou Groza Award. ... We can't do that to our football program, we can't do that to this university, just to give guys anything. Everybody's going to earn it and that's how we're going to get better as a football team." -- Taggart

It's kind of hard not to start getting my hopes up, again......

Definitely like what I read.

 

Now we need to see it on the field.

Just when I thought I was out......They pull me back in

That sounds good to me. Usually the defense is ahead of the offense in spring practice. If the offense is looking that good early, then there's reason to hope...they just have to keep looking that good. 

 

If the defense comes back and shows what they showed last year we could be real good this year.

I love your optimism, but I think you are making some major leaps.

I'm sick of the sadness on this board. I'll be optimistic until we look bad again. We look good for one day and people can't just enjoy it, they'd rather still complain.

Don't want to get overly excited.  The top four DEs graduated and there is a good chance the top two or three are not currently on the roster.  So that has to help the offense.

 

But it is still encouraging that an offense that couldn't score against a stiff breeze last year is showing signs of life.  Maybe that light I see isn't a train...

Definitely encouraging, but it's way early to get hyped up. Last year's drills looked okay too. No rain on the parade here, just want to see more hunger & drive. It's looking better!
