USF / Boca Raton Bowl Gameday...

[RandomGuy]

Half the kids playing today won't be on team next year.

Portal kids know this is an opportunity to come play right away.

There's at least four more additions coming, don't be surprised if that number between now and February hits double digits.

Roster attrition is far from over.

There's three coaches coaching this game who don't have a job lined up elsewhere, and one who may or may not be retained (Lig)

The optics to us as fans are bad, but to a bright opportunist like Fran, it's a selling point to kids who can make a difference moving forward

I hope so...

This is, we should get kicked out of the ACC bad.

Like I said, we have to win 8 games next year with all the talent he is bringing in next year, or his 2nd year's recruiting class will look nothing like this one.

Not to mention next years schedule is cake while the year after we play ND, Tennessee, Clemson, Miami, UNC. It will probably be one of the harder schedules in the country. Have to win big next year with that schedule.

 

[Scooch]

Because it’s a valid thing to wonder when they watch our OLine getting pummeled by a 6-6 USF team that is one of the worst defenses in the country. I get it, this game means squat. With that being said, as of this moment that line is what we have to block for McCord next year. I trust Fran will fix it. Some of you are jumpy, drink a beer.

It’s not valid. It’s insanity.

 

[CuseBlood44]

I honestly cannot help but think one boneheaded, unnecessary, blind side block on that fumble return changed the entire complexion of this game… unreal

That’s a theme of the Dino era though, which is a huge sign of discipline and fights. Remember the UNC blocked punt for a “first down” play

All the momentum and hype will be gone if they don’t win 8+ next year. With the brutal schedule in 2025, it could be a funeral year for the program. It’s do or die next year

Allen has been poor in the first half. That end around turnover was worse than high school football.

You're blaming Allen? He didn't call the crap play.

 

[anomander]

We better only see walk ons out there for the entire second half.

 

[baggerbob]

Lol how did these kids win 6 games

Shrader won them games.

 

[orangenauburn]

Wohlabaugh and More return who basically missed the entire year.

Expect at least two portal kids on OL.

When does Dan Mullen say “Boy I really dodged a bullet on that ‘cuse coaching job”

 

[607FBL]

It's not all bad. This USF team only lost to Alabama by 14. Sure, they lost to FAU by 42 but...

 

[Jcuse_44]

maybe this will convince people to donate to the NIL collectives

Too soon

 

[Cusefan78]

SU won’t realistically be able to get more than 2 new starters in for next year

There are a ton of players in the portal plus there will be more after spring ball. The team
Will look completely different in a few months

Honestly reminds me of the 2nd half late/out of bounds hit on the QB at Clemson… still haunts me

 

[JimBoston]

What did you guys expect? Coach fired, other coaches gone, players in the portal, new coach pushing players/recruits out with probably more to come, QBs hurt, playing against a hungry team,... Brown was hired for the future and we should have expected an ugly bowl game.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

That glass behind the announcers is filthy.

 

[Bulldog04]

This butt kicking will be the best thing that happens to us and the team. Clearly the past ways of doing things did not work. And this was the last performance of that. I would love to be in that team meeting after this game when Fran gets to talk. He invited the media I hope they show

Who?

 

[orangeinohio]

Dan Mullen is a bad luck charm.
He’s a bad luck tiki from a Brady Bunch episode

 

[JSOrange97]

That glass behind the announcers is filthy.

I told my kids, “can’t they afford some Windex?”

 

[CuseBlood44]

Honestly reminds me of the 2nd half late/out of bounds hit on the QB at Clemson… still haunts me

Or the Jordan Travis fake run out of bounds in 2021, or the LSU Paris Bennett dropped pick 6. Can’t forget the Cody Conway OL downfield at Clemson. So many close but no cigar moments in the Dino era.

 

[baggerbob]

Since there's been no official announcement, I wonder if Lig's job is safe

I hope he is gone special teams have been a disaster.

 

[Scooch]

Oh great, Allen’s back on the field.

I swear if he gets hurt…

More quarters of football ahead of
Us
