They're really bad, make no mistake about it. But to the extent that you can separate the performance to the competition, this is about as good of a game as I've seen us play in years, much less this season. This was not your run-of-the-mill stomping of an atrocious defense and these were not one read possessions that revealed nothing other than athletic superiority; this was a methodical demolition of a defense in the most idealistic way, a clinic on inside/out, strong side/weak side ball movement that you'd take against your scout team.
USF lost to South Carolina by 11, Houston by 14, SMU by 19, Memphis by 6, Temple by 9, etc. Typically, when there is an outlier to that extreme, it means one of the teams did something right.
The spread was 13 points. I'd be curious to see when the last time we exceeded the number by that much was.
I'll have more tomorrow, but the arrow points up. If this is the team that shows up in Hartford five weeks from now, we could have an interesting few days on our hands. That wasn't a 10-12 team out there tonight.
