USF game thread

[TulaneVandyRiceCoug]

All things considered, I think BYU has a party in Florida today and the Cougars pounce on the Bulls. I have no reason aside from (1) a bye week with added prep time, (2) added urgency following a dumb loss, and (3) a QB change that brings an unknown to USF.

I am an optimistic fan and think the program is in good shape. So far we have tastes of success but inconsistent play, and are probably 3-5 plays away from either a 4-1 start, or 0-5.

I am hoping to witness the Jaren Hall Show, and a good, solid beatdown on USF. I can hear Charlie Strong's thoughts, that dude has witnessed a beatdown from BYU before

Fellow Cougars, may we each enjoy a beautiful autumn and accompanying football season. Loyal, strong, and true, let's beat USF through and through.

And thank you in advance, Jaren Hall. The media coverage around being the first Black QB at BYU makes me go wellllllll okaaaayyy??? Stacy Conner was too deep in the depth and transferred, and apparently Utah is just a really White state. Ask JSwaggDaddy or Derwin Gray or Dayan Ghanwoloku and others about being a racial minority at BYU. This road has been traveled. There is reason to consider that the QB position contains a symbol of leadership, and whoever excels there gets the nod. Whatever discussion ensues, I hope it is toward common goodness and decency for all. I do hope the divisive society we live in understands BYU equally in every position, on and off the field.

Jaren, here it is young man. Now bring it Cougs! Big plays on O and turnovers on D. Hit em hard Esukpa, and tear em up Hall! Go Cougs

I think BYU wins but I don’t think the program is in good shape.

Looking forward to a fun game!

Hall is really struggling as you would expect with when to throw it away and when to just turn up field and when to cover up and take the sack. Taking WAY too many sacks early.

[Brayden Green]

The Oline looking bad with 3 position changes (Hodges out).

Pressure every blitz, guys untouched.

Agreed.

He seems to have lots of tools. Hopefully he can settle down and at least make the easy throws.

The OLine is getting worse or they are not as good as I recall earlier in the season.

Eric Mateos lit up the O-line on the radio this week saying he thought he had some guys who liked reading about how good they were and they are not living up to the hype. He must be getting frustrated with them to do that openly.

[Fido]

That was a great throw and catch for the TD. Hall to Milne.

[CougarCrazy]

Yeah love the deep ball and they got pressure on D to get the ball back.

This CBS announcer sounds like a USF homer lol.

[Fido]

USF gets their first 1st down with 8 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. They have 7 yards passing this game.
