Looks like Tulane is pretty good up 35-0 on Memphis at the half!

Cincinnati almost screwed up and lost to SMU barely won thanks to a TE catch and run on a rollout to ice the game.

Temple and Tulsa are not good from the other night. Houston is playing okay, but Navy is terrible.

If God himself make a prototype QB, Tre Marsh might be that person. But what has happened to Mr. Marsh? Tre, being the next in line for the most significant position on a football team, looked more like Mr. Marshmallow against Tulane, rather than any potential hero USF most desperately needs. He has a plus arm, and good patience in the pocket, but after that it looks like he's bored to be out there, or that "deer in the head light" look. His predecessor, Gerry Bohanon, after a slow start, has been starting to look like a Robert Griffith lll at Baylor the last few games. Unfortunately, Bohanon is also starting to get injured like RG lll when he played in the NFL. Not all traits are admirable.

Tre Marsh has fallen into a unique position at USF waiting out a disgruntled and pouting Timmy McClain and daddy, this time to "earn" the number two spot behind center. But where does he go from here? Marsh tested the Transfer Portal for a mere two weeks and was gladly accepted back by Coach Jeff Scott. I'm sure Scott said all the right things and welcomed him back, and told him to be ready because, well, you never know. But what has Marsh been doing the past eight months? It looks like he's been getting his understudy from Tom Brady, not the actual Tom Brady, but from the latest Madden 22 Tom Brady, than being mentally and emotionally prepared WHEN HIS TIME COMES at USF!

Well, your time is now Tre. You have got to literally be ready to play each down, full knowing know that GB 1 could go down at any moment. This is not the time to stand there in the pocket and wait for the offensive line to give you five seconds each play. Bohanon had to figure that out, but Marsh has been here for three years, so wake up!

Bohanon is out for the season. Marsh has got to step up and make something out of his situation. If not, he has some pretty good talent willing to take their chances. I'm hoping he wakes up, takes a leadership role, and shows the improvement expected from him.

...I saw this today lol

Has been a top QB target for USF

Several AAC QBs have more ability than is immediately visable. Some have O-line problems like Tulsa QB Davis Brin has taken 28 sacks, Memphis QB Seth Hennigan has taken 24 sacks, Tulane QB Michael Pratt has taken 16 sacks, Houston QB Clayton Tune has taken 15 sacks and UCF QB John Rhys-Plumlee has taken 15 sacks. It could be partially these QBs holding the ball too long or their receivers taking too long to uncover, but the O-line figures high in the equation none the less.

I rate the upper classmen QBs in terms of NFL ability as follows: 1. Holton Ahlers-ECU 2. Clayton Tune-Houston 3. Tanner Mordecai-SMU 4. Ben Bryant- Cincy 5. Davis Brin-Tulsa

Two lower classmen may be the have the best NFL potential of the lot. 1. Michael Pratt-Tulane 2. Seth Hennigan- Memphis. These guys both need at least 1 more year to develop fully but they have all the tools.

The other 4 AAC starting QBs Bohanon-USF, Lavalai-Navy, Warner-Temple and Rhys-Plumlee-UCF have not shown enough to be NFL caliber at this time.

Good Coaches recruit AND DEVELOP good QBs.

So I’ve basically tried to remain unplugged since Louisville from USF as they are just a train wreck. I’ve been so out of it for my own good that I hadn’t checked recruiting in a minute. So I thought I would ask

what in the flying **** are we doing?

like what is CJS plan this cycle? Why are we at basically a 1/3 of the commits of every other school. And our commits our bad. Our whole O line is going to graduate and we have one OT commit? Are they even thinking about recruiting? Or does the staff already realize they are being fired and aren’t? What is the strategy here? To just get a ton of transfers again?

I just don’t get it. I’ve liked some of the past classes CJS brought in but this is a serious head scratcher. Can we get some insight Kelly? Also are we beginning to hear CJS will be gone after this season? He needs to win a minimum of 3 games , more than he has ever won in a whole season, over these final 5 games to keep his job. Even then I’d like him gone. I don’t see any signs how this team is better next year aside from an easier schedule

...to Dayton. Confidence level 10/10.

Is there an update on Gerry Bohanon's shoulder? With no Jeff Scott presser this week, somebody will probably have to check.

If Bohanon can't go after the bye week, would it make sense to get a look at Byrum Brown? We know what Marsh is, and it's not much if you like your throws targeted to the right zip code.

Why does anyone think USF would have beaten Tulane had Bohanon not gotten hurt? Tulane still scored 45 points and could have easily hit 50.

Thanks, and Happy Monday.

USF Football Quarterback Bohanon to Miss Remainder of Season with Shoulder Injury

Junior quarterback suffered the injury that requires surgery in the Bulls’ battle with Tulane last Saturday



TAMPA, OCT. 18, 2022– A USF football program that has been hit hard by injuries during the 2022 season took another blow Tuesday when Head Coach Jeff Scott announced junior quarterback Gerry Bohanon Jr. (Earle, Ark.) will miss the remainder of the season due to a shoulder injury that will require surgery to repair.



Bohanon, who was playing his best football at USF in his last three games, suffered the injury to his right throwing shoulder during an 8-yard run in the first half of Saturday’s contest with Tulane. Bohanon left the game with just over 6:30 to play in the half and the Bulls leading 14-10. To that point in the game, he was 7-of-8 for 109 yards and a touchdown passing and had run for 59 yards and a 33-yard touchdown.



Over his last two-and-a-half games, Bohanon passed for 501 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions and ran for 250 yards and two touchdowns, including a career-best 117 yards rushing at No. 24 Cincinnati as he led scoring drives of 75, 65, 75 and 88 yards in the close, 28-24, loss to the Bearcats. Bohanon, who led Baylor to a Big 12 title and Sugar Bowl victory in 2021, finishes his first USF season with 1,070 yards passing, six touchdowns and six interceptions while completing 57 percent of his passes. He is also the Bulls’ second leading rusher having posted 386 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.



Bohanon is the latest in a string of injuries that have hit 21 starters or members of the two-deep. USF has also lost for the season starters in left tackle Donovan Jennings (leg), defensive tackle Rashad Cheney Jr. (ankle) and wide receiver Ajou Ajou (ankle/groin) and veteran back-up linebacker Brian Norris Jr. (knee).



Players that have missed all or parts of games with injury (most missing two or more games) through USF’s first seven games include on offense running back Kelley Joiner Jr., running back Jaren Mangham, wide receiver Xavier Weaver, wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr., wide receiver Khafre Brown, wide receiver Dequan Stanley and center Brad Cecil. Defensive players include cornerback Daquan Evans, linebacker Antonio Grier Jr., safety Mekhi LaPointe, defensive tackle Rashawn Yates, safety TJ Robinson, cornerback Christian Williams, safety Matthew Hill, linebacker DJ Gordon IV and defensive end Jonathan Ross.



USF is on a bye this week and will return to action next Saturday (Oct. 29) at Houston in the first of back-to-back road games (Nov. 5 at Temple) that will close out an unprecedented stretch of six of seven games played away from Tampa, including four-straight from Sept. 17 through Oct. 8. USF will return to Raymond James Stadium on Sat., Nov. 12 vs. SMU, for just its second home game in two months.

...not as bad as USF thought, according to a BullsInsider.com source. Bohanon should be good to go after the bye week.

I'm a little off schedule this week, so just getting to this today.

South Florida opens league play at Memphis on Dec. 29.

STORY

Tulane may have the best defense in The American but USF is in desperate need for a win.

Please keep all game chatter in this thread.

Just released.


Houston comes in at #3 as the the only ranked AAC team and Memph is the only other AAC team getting votes (one). Auburn is ranked #15 and UAB also received one vote. I didn't see anyone else on our schedule ranked or getting votes.

Let’s try this again - last poll results after the BYU game were:

8 yes
12 no
12 end of the season

What are we waiting for? 1-21 against the FBS.

South Florida jumps into the mix with The Skill Factory guard Myles Che.
