To continue pounding on this subject, this upcoming game against USF is enormous. Everyone thought that the best case scenario through 4 games this year was 3-1. Well we're there and made a valiant effort behind a 4th string QB against LSU. The Dome was rocking on Saturday and the game was heavily watched around the country. The locals who showed up were loud as hell and the headlines all week have been positive. Most importantly, people are interested in Syracuse Football again. Riley Dixon has even entered the Heisman Race. We got some steam.
We need to win this game and win impressively to keep the momentum going. I know there are no style points in the W-L column, but we are a better team than USF. They have some playmakers, but we can handle them if we play the way we're currently playing. Some of our key players will be healthy and back in action. To fall flat in this game would simply eliminate all of the buzz that is now surrounding the team.
Tampa is now a huge recruiting territory for us. Plant HS alone has given us Rex Culpepper and Scoop Bradshaw, let alone Juwan Burgess, Bo Peek and Judge Culpepper hopefully waiting in the wings. It is a talent rich area that FSU and UF constantly pluck stellar recruits from. Playing down there will give Lester a chance to show off his new offense and Bullough to show his attacking and blitzing defensive schemes to all of the local coaches, players and families. Time to shine.
There is absolutely no sense in looking forward to UVA. 100% of the focus needs to be on USF and the coaching staff has these kids dialed in. We have a shot to land a stud TE recruit in Chris Clark who will be undoubtedly gaging every team's success and direction this year. He, along with other top recruits/coaches, like what they see right now. We need to continue that.
We've had a shitload of "must-win" and "turn the corner" games over the last several years, but I say this one has the most excitement and momentum on the line. I have people talking to me about Cuse Football that could've cared less 3 weeks ago. It is amazing what one week can do in the world of college football in terms of expectations. Fortunately for us, eyeballs are paying closer attention to what we're doing and we have an enormous shot to continue building on that.
4-1. LGO.

I know one thing for certain. I will be drunk at the game!
