Potential Opponent Watch 2019: USF

" The inspiration for these rankings came from esteemed colleague Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle , who recently did the same exercise for the Cougars’ slate."

-Sellout for USF is the lower bowl of Raymond James.

-This is big for them. Started 14 games at CB for NC in 2017-early 18 before getting hurt.

48K isn’t too bad. Hopefully, they can pull of the upset.

That was brutal last night. USF is going to end up running Strong out of there after this season.

“UCF and USF are heading in opposite directions. This can be attributed to a word synonymous with I-4. Construction.”

USF bad so far but just the possibility of getting beat by South Carolina State is tough to get your mind around.

“Are the Bulldogs capable of coming into Raymond James Stadium and handing USF its ninth consecutive loss? You bet your McNeese State memories. The way the Bulls have been playing, no game is a gimme.”

Comforting to remember this losing streak started at TDECU

In week one, they were absolutely massacred at HOME by Wisconsin…49-0
They are in real trouble.

It was a beatdown & Wisco let off the gas.
I live in the Clearwater/Dunedin, Fl area (@ 20 miles from Raymond James) and there were Wisconsin fans at my local Tiki Bar before the game was even over.

I played in a baseball tournament there in late 2017. Fun area.

Do you mean the Dunedin (Bluejays) or Philles/home of AAC Baseball Tourney (Clearwater)?
I live roughly in between both.

We played at both and also at the Yankees facility. It is an amateur tournament called the Fall Classic. I just checked and it looks like this year they have moved it to West Palm Beach. I need to get rid of this pinched nerve so I can start playing again!!!

Nice. The Blue Jays facility is getting an $80 million upgrade.

I would love to see the AAC baseball tourney moved there.

Philles- Clearwater Stadium is just in the middle of “run of the mill” retail/restaurants, etc along I-19.

Dunedin is different. Scottish theme. 8 breweries. On the water w tons of cool restaurants/bars/marinas/parks, etc.

This is odd.

I truly thought getting rid of offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert, Gilbert’s best friend Matt Mattox, player-fighter Blue Adams, and Damon Cogdell — who was brought in to secure Miami in recruiting — would cure most, if not all the ills that plagued the program. But those issues have gone much deeper into the roots than I even anticipated. Call it naive, but it really seemed like the program was finally getting turned back around in the right direction for Strong.

Hottest Seat of the Week

“Charlie Strong is 18-11 in his third season at South Florida, but after going 17-2 in his first 19 games, he’s 1-9 in his last 10. Those nine losses have come by an average of 21.7 points per game. Its last two wins against FBS opponents were a 25-24 fourth-quarter comeback win against a Tulsa team that finished 3-9 and a 38-30 win over a UConn team that finished 1-11.”
