Message: [QUOTE="ScottVib, post: 4767607, member: 694"] Another frustratingly winnable game. Dropped passes by both the WR & DBs ended drives prematurely and gave USF new life. Both fumbles were cases where the runner failed to cover the ball as they fought for extra yards. The field goal in the second quarter into the wind was a horrible decision, USF had so little confidence that McFadden would be able to reach it into that wind from 48 that they even had a guy back to return it, perhaps the shortest field goal I've ever seen a return man back there for. Then in the second half, after Roberson and the offense moved the ball well when UConn was passing on early downs, they never took a shot on first down. A play action pass early, even if it failed, would've helped clear the running lanes for Edwards. The team still suffers from a lack of speed. It's why the kick coverage has been so bad, they just don't get down the field to cover. Caratan constantly outkicks the coverage. They struggle to contain the edges and of course the tackling issues continue. [/QUOTE]
