You guys, some of you are just bad... You didn't lose to an FCS team you lost to one of the best teams in the AAC which I believe is the best team.
The USF folks here have been classy, and my intent is to reciprocate, meaning don't take this the wrong way.
Others have mentioned "it's not you, it's us". I think that's how you should read most of the posts here in the postgame.
I'll offer one example to back the opinion, which might be out of context for a visitor who doesn't know much about GT recently. Looking at this game or any football game for that matter, a single kickoff return TD is 98% on the coverage, 2% on the return, in my opinion only. Now how about 2 of those? And almost a 3rd (first return of the game). In other words, sound coverage plans and execution almost always thwarts even the most dynamic kick returners, agree?
So, many feel we didn't lose because we played USF, rather it's because the ability to affect the game was independent of opponent. The lack of execution on Special Teams, where we were nearly dead last in the NCAA last year, is a common theme. So no disrespect intended your way.
Now, the easiest counterargument to the above from the USF side might be... did you see GT's D? We (USF) might have gone down the field and scored anyway. But, I think we (GT) would have rather taken our chances there, obviously.
