Completely different way of getting it done (we were not great at getting sacks or stops behind the line last year, simply didn't allow plays through the passing game at all), but drill more than getting it done.

You better play like a badass if you do your face up like you are a furry that watches old Thunder Cats cartoons.

Next year will be the first time USF isn’t on the schedule since 2002…

As someone else here observed, the toughest part of the schedule are the October road games. Tulsa may have worried me more than any other. I think SMU remains somewhat one dimensional and UCF is good but not great so taking care of business Saturday and earning at least a split of those two road games sets this Bearcat team up very well for hosting a CCG once again.

Games against USF recently have not been cakewalks. For whatever reason, we've had a lot of turnovers against them. If you remember, we should have lost that game in 2020 against them, which most likely would have saved coach Strong's job.

It was 2019 where we won 20-17 vs Stong

I couldn't decide if it was 19 or 20. I just know the kicking gods were watching out for us that night.

Crap, the US-England WC match is 2 pm that day. UC takes priority but would have loved to have kept the game Saturday and watched both.

That aside, no one talks about our punter. He's been nothing short of incredible. For some reason, we can recruit good punters but field goal kickers are five leaf clovers...
