I don't see this being a high scoring offense.  If designed to be similar to the Stanford offense, I believe the power offense is more of a grind it out, 3 to 4 yards at a time.  

 

If we can move the chains consistently, eat up clock and play tough defense we can put 21 to 24 points a game and win around 6 or 7 games this year.  

 

What i want to see is the offense be able to control the ball.  If we can be within 10 points going into the 4th quarter and IF (perhaps a big if based on last year's performance), the offense is playing out like it is supposed to be, any game can be winnable.  Again, IF this is a power offense, with several powerful backs and a strong OL we should  be able to wear down the other defense and take over in the 4th quarter.  

 

That is the way it is supposed to work anyway.  Now let's see if they can execute it the way it is supposed to be run.  All sounds great on paper doesn't it?

 

 

stanford has top players!!!!!

 

 

Which always mystifies me, because their academic standards are top tier.

 

Not top tier among athletic schools, top tier among ALL schools.

 

Combined with the fact that nearly all of their athletics programs win championships on a regular basis.

 

How do they do this? What's their secret

Screw that. I am a fan, not a player (or someone who bets on CFB). My expectations are high. If I am disappointed then so be it. But I am going into this year with the hope that this team can win the

Only recruit kids that are smart enough to go to Stanford and can play some football? If they're that smart, they know a Stanford education is money in the bank down the road and the NFL is statistica

We will suck on offense, until we don't.

Classes like these http://espn.go.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/school/_/id/24/class/2014. Can we please stop comparing our team to Stanford, they recruit on a different level (athletically and smarter players).

Hoping for 400 yards per and around 27 ppg avg on the year isn't asking too much. Huge increase I know.

I expect our offense to score some touchdowns this year, kick some field goals, and maybe go for two every now and then.

5-6 wins, bottom line. Anything more is gravy to me.

Apparently some on here are new to this message board.

I have adopted #showme. I will not prognosticate.

We are what we are (right now a sucky football team), until we prove we are something else.

Try it. It makes enjoying USF athletics a lot more enjoyable.

Lots of different criteria for "enjoying USF athletics" among the fanbase .... Swamprat still has the best comment I've seen. Paraphrasing, "I look forward to USF athletics with anticipation, not expectation".

I have no expectations because I'm not sure what to expect. However I am very excited and anticipating this football season. I do think the offense will be much improved. Many positives to look at: another year in the playbook. Bigger, stronger, faster players, and a togetherness that Coach T said wasn't there last year but is now

    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.
