    ESPN Bottom Top 10

    Per ESPN's Bottom Top Ten:

    We are on the waiting list, but check out the write up for South Florida

    South Florida 0-4 - "Transformers:" Remember when the Bulls were a top-10 program under former coach Jim Leavitt? Skip Holtz and Willie Taggart have transformed them into the cellar dwellers of the American Athletic Conference.

    Sorry in advance for adding fuel to the fire

    Well, as they say, facts are facts.....


    And just to be clear, no matter how bad Holtz left the program, they should not give up 50+ points to McNeese and get blown out at home. That is on Taggart in my opinion. I personally thought he was a really good hire for them. So far, not working out at all.

    I just don't remember USF having a strong program. They seemed like a decent 7-5 program to me. They never did anything in CUSA. Top 10 program? Like LSU, Florida, Alabama, Oregon? No way!

    I'm not ready to say that yet. It was incredibly stupid not to make better adjustments to stop Army's option, but I don't think Holtz is the program-killer that USF fans make him out to be. He inherited a mess of a team here.

    Well, it is nice to see that we are in line waiting. That may be the only "award" we get this year. :bigcry:

    Dykes lefts holes in several places. At this point I don't think anyone can argue with that. Holtz was never going to be able to take this team and roll into the Top-25 or be near where we were last year on offense. Dykes killed us on the OL more than anywhere. That said there is no way on earth you can convince me we don't have enough talent on this roster to beat Kansas, Tulane and Army. And beat some of them comfortably at that. I don't know if things are going to get better under Holtz or not but it is obvious he is not cutting it this year.

    We should have beat Kansas. The coaches called a great game. The 2 fumbles and the missed FG's is on the players. We should have beat Tulane too, but Higgins wasn't ready yet, imo. The coaches lost the Army game. NC State was better than us.

    Re: ESPN Bottom Top 10

    We lost the Tulane game because the coaches didn't have the team prepared...

    In the second half they basically went man to man and dared us to beat them and the staff had NO answer -

    As far as Kansas goes, if we play PERFECT we score a maximum of 30 pts on the road against a bottom 10 FBS program - that was just a bad exhibition of football on both sides and the team that sucked the least won...

    Re: ESPN Bottom Top 10

    The team was prepared until Young went down (9-7 lead at the Half; probably should have been 21-7 if we execute perfectly). Tulane took advantage of our young QB in the second half. We had no answer. I think Higgins had 47 yards passing or something like that (first game ever).
