The problem as cuseroc stated has been the fact that USf has not been able to develop a RB that would be a threat running the ball that would make it easier for our QB to throw and pass. Until we get over that we will struugle and NOT be consistent

I'm not necessarily disagreeing, i'm just looking at it from a more meta-level. You're basically saying we don't have a power, inside the tackles running game. But has Florida ever had one? Miami? FSU? No, not even in their best seasons. When those teams have run effecitvely, it's been out of spread formations and using speed. That's the style of play that you get in the state.

Unfortunately, it's not conducive to winning against northern Big East competition.

I guess then that WV's game is not conductive for their weather.

We've matched up well with WVU - in part because they are more of a spread/speed team than some of the other Big East opponents.

We can nit-pick particular results, but the general trend seems clear ...
