a 2 point loss to a FBS team. I'm not defending it, b/c it is a game we should not lose, however there are worse losses in the AAC this year than that- much worse. However, not going to bash conference mates. We all know the terrible losses.

This is the sad state of affairs. A close loss to a team one year removed from the sun belt is now a moral victory.

adluther is right though... close loss to any FBS is miles away from losses (much less blowout losses) to FCS teams.

Trust me- definitely not saying it's a moral victory. But this was a game we were picked to lose prior to kick off. MT (sadly as it is) was ranked around 30 places higher than us. We opened as a 4.5 dog to MTSU and ended up being a 7.5 dog on game day i think. Loss hurts either way you look at it and I'm not one for moral victories.. haha you can ask those around me at the game Saturday based on my choice of words and language.

Boy. I never thought i would see USF in this position. How bad was Skip Holtz?

I think if USF buys in to the Taggert system and he has time, USF will win.
