South Florida playing now

[iceeater1969]

This team beat us last year. They are about to lose their seventh game in a row.

The wisconsin kick offs go deep into end zone.

 

[knoxjacket]

The good news is that our current coach actually was able to beat USF last year. Good sign!

 

[calvin forever]

I never said that but it’s right anyway.

You’re right, but he left. Maybe it’s time to get behind the new staff, heh?

I’m always behind my school. So that means the team, the coaches everybody. We match up talentwise against USF so we should have a decent chance to beat them.

 

[Oakland]

They have a lot of transfers. Their QB is not too bad, but his receivers aren't helping him. We need a big crowd for next week.

 

[buzzn]

USF appears to be in disarray. They’ve lost 7 in a row now. We need to jump on them early.

 

[Deleted member 2897]

USF with only 110 yards of offense this deep into the game. Dang.

 

[WreckinGT]

This team is awful. We are in the 4th quarter and they haven’t gotten to mid field yet.

 

[LibertyTurns]

This game has been a must win since September last year. Nothing has changed except both coaching staffs have seen major turnover. Lose this game and it’s going to be a loooooooooong 3 years.

 

[SidewalkJacket]

But we had a HOF coach last year (quoting you).

See this drives me nuts. There’s all this talk about “letting go” and not bringing up the old coach from those who think he sucked. But here, in this thread, where no one said anything good or bad about him, one of the loudest critics brings him up to jab another poster. And I see this more than I see the other way around happening.

 

[DuckGT]

Is the kid who returned two against us last year not returning kickoffs or are they saving him just for us?

I don’t believe that at all. This is not all or nothing. We need to see incremental improvements as the season goes on. We don’t need ultimatums at this point, not helpful. Do I think we can/should win this game? Of course.

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

Georgia Tech will run for 300+ yards on South Florida

 

[UgaBlows]

USF isn't that good, but neither are we. I don't think we are really going to be as bad as Clemson made us look, but we'll see.

I’m afraid USF is gonna give us all we want next wknd. we’ll struggle to score buthopefully our D shows up and fixes some of the huge mistakes. Does USF still have that kick returner who killed us last year?

Must win to make a bowl yes, but that is all imo

Not an ultimatum but this game is a program stabilizer, or not. This is a game that we should win, hands down. If we don’t the cloud over the program will linger and questions about staff competence will grow. My opinion and I’m sure it’s shared by others who are watching the team evolve looking for signs there some real actual positive change occurring.

Guys it will get worse before it gets better. Relax.

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

Guys it will get worse before it gets better. Relax.

That makes it even tougherIt may be a few years before GT goes to a Bowl again since the 2020 GT schedule is brutal with UCF,Notre Dame and Georgia as out of conference opponents

Guess I’ve just got a more business oriented approach than most. You don't get to waltz into a company you’re trying to turn around from mediocre to great, tell the boss I’m going to tank your results for 2+ years but trust me in year 3 or 4 you’re going to get a sign of the improvement coming. You only get to do that if you’ve got major buy in from leadership and normally a huge commitment of assets. I see some of that but don’t know we got the pockets for it. We’re going to need to double what we’re spending in order to move the needle significantly.

I still say this game’s a potential stabilizer. It will generate confidence among those ambivalent if we can win the next 3, then show continued signs of improvement later in the season. If we can’t beat USF or stumble in games 3 or 4, well it’s going to get sporty.

 

[dressedcheeseside]

This is a must win, imo. Clemson can be sluffed off with "But they're the defending national champions....." This game, no excuse will stick. Any excuse for a loss will be laughed off the board, well, after the tears have dried.

USF just got humiliated at home in a game their program had high hopes of being a program definer. If we struggle against this bottom feeder, what does that say about us?

That said, I expect us to win and do so handily.
