Grey, it’s okay. My response wasn’t one in anger, just USF was beyond awful last season, had some promise heading into this one but still not much better than a couple of more wins and then the 2 games they’ve had this year were polar opposites in their play on the field. I can’t even make a guess of how their defense will play. If USF’s defensive results for the first 2 games had been reversed against their opponents then it would be easier to infer how they might play against the Pack but as of right now they are a bigger mystery on defense than anything State has shown on offense. Their RB Mack had a video game performance against WCU but wasn’t close to as effective against MD and both their QB’s are lacking. The only guarantee is their Kicker and he alone I think will keep them in the game as long as USF can get him to atleast the 35 yard line.
The Maryland game may have been a fluke and they still aren’t any better than they were last year or against WCU but maybe they are. State has put up average numbers in both rushing and passing against GSU and ODU, the latter I think everyone would agree has a horrible defense. Taking what we’ve seen from last year and this year for both teams, it’s just as safe to say State will struggle running the ball against USF as it is to say State will easily handle USF’s run defense. The real question is has USF improved at defense because we haven’t seen any big improvements from State.
No ill will and I welcome anyone who is willing to have an honest conversation, whether we agree or disagree. What is it about my reasoning that you disagree with? Explain to me your point of view.
