Big Picture-Has This Team Improved?

[Bulls On Parade]

It has improved.  They know the plays better but QB is the missing position that needs a big upgrade.

 

Plug in a QB like Kiel from Cincy and this offense would look much much better. 

 

 

Defense is about the same at times they show flashes but with so much youth they look

like a defense that just isn't ready yet…many in the secondary shouldn't be playing and if we had good upperclassman players

these kids would be on the bench.

Answer is no

[snarling Bull]

No. Tired if excuses. Other teams play freshman and win. Even at QB.

Can't put ALL of this on QB play. Our line, if anything, has regressed from last year. We can't open holes for the runners - most of Mack's yardage has come from improv - and we can't keep the rushers away from the QB

[Paisa el Toro]

We keep shooting ourselves in the foot. USF continues to be its own worst enemy. Things will not get better until USF sheds that "loser" mentality that has been permitted to set in since the Holtz regime.

22 rushes for 42 yards against the #119 rush defense in FBS.  Nuff said

Cincinnati on paper is a lot more talented than the stats show. I really feel their two-week layover before their season started effed things up.

They should've beat us badly last year too. That was the flukiest win i ever saw.

I fully expect houston to be a blowout loss (31-0 range). A loss to SMU ends it for me period

This year's team would whoop last year's team by 20

[puc86]

That would be Tags first double digit win.

[MaltLiquorBull]

This year's team would whoop last year's team by 20

They'd both figure out a way to lose.
