By Joey Knight:

Upon telling starter Mike White at halftime Saturday that he was contemplating a quarterback change, Coach Willie Taggart said the sophomore responded with one of his most effectives signal of the day.

A scowl.

It was all Taggart needed to make a decision. White started the second half against Tulsa and the rest is, quite literally, history.

"I was impressed," Taggart said Tuesday. "If he would have put his head down and pouted, I probably wouldn't have put him back in. But he looked at me like, 'To (heck) with you, Coach,' and I liked that.

"I want our quarterback to be that way and it meant something to him. Sure enough, we gave him a chance and he took advantage of it."

You can say that to your coach and not get slapped?!

 

LOL

 

For the record, it was a look, not words :D

 

But hey, whatever works. Taggs should threaten to bench him every series...

Tagg needs to strike the fear of God into our players

The right way to play. 

 

We used to be pissed off and fired up about big games. We could use a little enthusiasm and passion.

I'm sure Taggart is aware of USF's history with Leavitt and wants to keep his job.

THE problem with this football team;

 

"He was looking for that fire and that passion that I really didn't have in the first half ..." White said.

 

Why not?

  • Quotes

    "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."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
