is how far we've come since being in the old Big East - now AAC conference.  Critical for me is to see if Shafer's recruiting and talent has truly gone to the next level and what I'll be looking to see improvement is.

1. First year in we were destroyed by FSU & Clemson
2. Second year...
3. Third year in we played tough with LSU, looking to see how we play against FSU & Clemson this year

Most importantly is to see if we have really improved against our old AAC opponent USF from a talent level.  It's amazing to me that we are the underdog to them, although understandable, but I think that will motivate the team even more as Shafer has always stated he loves being the underdog.

While watching parts of the USF-Memphis game, USF looks really fast on defense but that is against AAC teams.  We look much faster too both on offense & defense.  With the team being fully healthy (except Hunt), I cannot wait for Saturday not only for the game but to find out if we have taken it up a notch.

Personally, a win would be awesome but my hope is we destroy them - perceptions about us would change overnight if we did.  Statement win would be SU 41-10.  Go Orange.
