Message: [QUOTE="Shenexon, post: 1507586, member: 129"] They did seem fired up right from the beginning. The TV broadcast showed USF singing & dancing in a large group after good plays. They looked motivated and played like it. That doesn't discount how flat we were to start the game nor how poorly we defensed USF, but demonstrates that football games are physically competitive events between groups of good, emotional athletes who may have differing levels of adrenaline in their systems at the beginning & throughout the game. In the same way that our defensive edges consistently were pushed back, our offensive edges were pushed back as well. There was one play I noted where our RB noticeably had to run backward to get around his blocker. USF was inspired & we were playing catchup all day. [/QUOTE]
