I seen enough from the Memphis game to say that CWT........

[USFbulls24]

 

 

deserves another year to get this turned around. Vegas had USF losing by 20 pts to Memphis, but USF was able to keep it at 11 points. CWT is on the right track with recruiting. He played a lot of Fr and Sophs that will be better. Things are looking up for USF. Keep the faith and give CWT one more season.

What did you see in this game that would lead you to believe things will be better next year? You do realize that Mcfarland and Davis are graduating. Besides those two, the rest of the offense was 1 play by Mack for 75 yards. We only had another 17 yards on ground. That is pretty bad for a run oriented offense.

Or was it the 3 timeouts we had to call because Taggart didn't get the plays in until there were only 12 seconds left on the play clock.

The majority of the Freshman that are positively contributing are defense. That defense gave up almost 500 yards. There have been at least 3 games where they have given up over 300 yards in a half.

I get that the OP likes to look at the bright side of things, but the reality is there doesn't appear to be any positive progression from the coaching staff unless there are major changes to their approach.

The freshmen RBs are very good, but even if they improve even more next year, what will that bring to the team. Mack is already the conference rushing leader and we still can't keep games against the top half of the league competitive into the 4th quarter.

At this point I see the problems more at the coaching schemes, SITUATIONAL play calling and team preparation than with the talent.

 

They have given up over 300 yards in a half I believe 5 times. That is the difference between winning 4 games and wininng 7 games at this point. UCfs offense is just as bad and they have 7 wins but the #2 total defense.

 

Taggart had a top 8 RB in the country for 2 years at Western Kentucky. that's how much improvement the running game can make especially with the o-linemen he is bringing in. Mack has had a terrific year and he is only 39th in the country. add another 700 yards per year to his total to get where his backs at WKU finished.

 

Not sure if you are new to USF football but Leavitt and Holtz were both terrible with their timeouts. situational play calling was awful at times as well. (voo doo five-settling for  FG on 3rd down from 2 yard line with 10 seconds left in half).

 

personally i like the offensive scheme. it will obviously take time to build a decent o-line and it's tough to run it with a very young QB. our offenses have never really been ranked higher than 60ish in the past consistently. I think TEs and FBs have been a bright spot in our offense. Swanson is a very good football player. McFarland has done o.k. although I thought play call to him in endzone yesterday was dumb when you had #7 in man coverage.

 

I do wish our defense was more aggressive like it was back in leavitt's day.

 

 

You like the offensive scheme when it's run by Stanford in 2011 or you like the offensive scheme when it's run by USF in 2013 and 2014? If we can lineup on the ball one day and look at the defense and say "hey _____, we're running the ball through the 4 hole and there's not a darn thing you can do about it" and then we run it through the 4 hole and get 8 yards I'll like it. I'm not saying it's impossible for us to get there, but at this point I've seen absolutely nothing to believe it'll happen. Until that happens this offense is not only boring to watch, it doesn't put up points. With a bad defense, and an offense that doesn't put up points we're doomed for below average to mediocrity in the column that counts the most, W's.

How can you say there hasnt been positive progression?  We have doubled our win total from last season; +1 progression.  Offensive numbers are up accross the board (yards, tds, scoring); +2 progression,

Rebuilding a program from the ground up takes time.  If you think this was gonna happen over night then you are sadly mistaken and might as well stop reading and posting on message boards as it will just give you a headache.  CWT will get atleast 2 more years to right the ship. 

 

 

We have doubled our win total and although that's a good thing it's AWFULLY deceiving. You can only play the schedule you're given, but last year we beat UCONN and got very lucky to beat Cincy (days after they dealt with a death of a teammate). This year We have beaten 3 UCONN's (UCONN, SMU, Tulsa) and an FCS team. 

 

If we played Louisville and Rutgers again, instead of SMU and Tulsa this team is sitting at 2-9 right now and there's NO WAY you can disagree with that, not to mention our points per game average and total offense ranking are worse. 

 

No one expects this to be rebuilt over night. We've gone from 124/124 in total offense to 120/124 and our schedule is WORSE than last year. 4 spots of improvement? It was going to get better on that side of the ball due to the fact that it couldn't get worse! Our defense has dropped light years behind what we had last year. I know we're young and we've got a new scheme but there's certainly no improvement on that side of the ball. 

 

We've upped our average scoring per game from 14 to 18.7 (If you take out the FCS opponent of Western Carolina we're averaging 17 ppg). The amount of improvement is nowhere near enough for my taste. If we have this type of improvement from year to year we should be relevant again in what..... 28 years? Look at the entire picture. Weaker schedule, very little improvement on one side of the ball, a big drop off on the other side, things aren't exactly looking great. He deserves another year and will get another year, but if he doesn't get it turned around in an awfully big way next year he'll be packing his bags and back at a Western Kentucky type of school.

The only reason we haven't improved more is that the defense has taken a big step back.

Next season we will be a tough team to beat.

I wouldn't even be questioning the degree of improvement if we were competitive in most games until at least midway through the fourth quarter and if the majority of the productivity on offense was coming from the younger guys. If we were getting the same playmaking ability at WR from Bronson, Clerveaux, McCants and even at TE from Price that we are seeing from the RBs, but the productivity is coming from seniors so what happens on offense? We take another step back on the learning curve? And we lose 3 multi year starters on the OL. Just seems like we sort of start over or become one dimensional again on O.

Steve Spurrier had that same problem at UF one year and he was well into his coaching carreer. It happens.

you can start the countdown fellas

[BDYZR]

 

Yes Taggart can recruit promising high school kids, and so far from what I've seen I have some reason to believe they can be successful at the college level as well.

But please. For the love of all that is green and holy on this earth GET A FRIGGIN QB.

yes white is progressing but this is his second season and I've see two many ups and downs. The kid will be a solid back up but please Taggart please get a quality thrower in the pocket. Recruit, JUCO, heck even a walk on just GET. IT. DONE.

 

 

white  has no presence

a weak arm

terrible footwork

 

 

qb is the most important position on the field

usf needs to bring in 3 qbs.at teast one juco

 

 

the qbs on our team now cannot take us to the promised land

 

like dejavu all over again...

[slick1ru2]

What QB or QB parent would want them to go to USF? After the way that they aren't developed and pulled and started willy nilly..
