ITS WEEK 12 AND THE PIRATES ONLY HAVE THREE REGULAR SEASON GAMES LEFT!

NO INDIVIDUAL SUSPENSIONS FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT WEEK!

DEMETRIUS MAUNEY IS SEEING A TUTOR AGAIN DUE TO HAVING A 1.80 OVERALL GPA. DUE TO THE EXTRA STUDY TIME IN THE CLASSROOM (MAJORING IN LIBERAL STUDIES) AND NOT IN THE FILM ROOM, HIS AWARENESS POINTS WILL BE ADJUSTED DOWN 14 POINTS.

RECRUITING NEWS:

VISITS SCHEDULED FOR SENIOR NIGHT:
DT - LANCE GOODWIN, DE - JARED NELSON, TE - BRANDON BUTLER, G - ANTHONY PRINCE, SS - DAN MOSS

WE GOT A FULL SLATE OF GUYS COMING TO VISIT ON SENIOR NIGHT, AND SCHOLARSHIPS HAVE BEEN OFFERED TO ALL, HOPING TO GET SIGNATURES AFTER THE GAME!

USF GAME-PLAN

THE BULLS UNDER HEAD COACH CHARLIE STRONG RUN A SPREAD OFFENSE AND A 4-2-5 DEFENSE. BLAKE BARNETT (TRANSFER FROM ALABAMA) HAS ELITE QUICKNESS AND DECENT THROWING POWER AND ACCURACY. THE PIRATES NEED TO CONTAIN HIM AND NOT LET HIM OUTSIDE THE POCKET, AS THIS HAS BEEN THE DEFENSE'S NEMESIS ALL YEAR LONG - SEE MEMPHIS END OF GAME AS EXAMPLE! THEIR O LINE IS WEAK AND A TRUE FRESHMAN IS STARTING AT RIGHT TACKLE DUE TO AN INJURY, THEREFORE OUR PLAN IS TO CONFUSE THE OLINE TO GET BLITZERS TO THE QUARTERBACK WITH A FREE SHOT. THE PIRATES NEED TO PLAY SOUND DEFENSE AND STAY IN THEIR LANES. DUE TO BLAKE'S ATHLETICISM, WE ARE GOING TO SPY OCCASIONALLY ON WARRANTED DOWNS TO ENSURE HE DOESNT HURT US WITH HIS LEGS. OVERALL THEIR SKILL PLAYERS ARE JUST A SOLID GROUP SO WE WILL BE MIXING IN MAN AND ZONE COVERAGES IN THE BACK END OF THE DEFENSE.

OFFENSIVELY, OUR PLAN TO ATTACK THE DEFENSE IS TO BE READY TO PASS! HOLTON AHLERS GETS TO RETURN HOME FOR HIS LAST HOME GAME THIS YEAR AS HE DOES NOT PLAY PARTICULARLY WELL ON THE ROAD. WE ARE GOING TO PASS AND PASS SOME MORE. WE DO HOWEVER WANT TO WATCH OUT FOR THORPE AWARD FINALIST RONNIE HOGGINS, WHO WILL PLAY CLOSE TO THE LINE DUE TO THE 4--2-5 SCHEME. WE WILL WANT TO LOCATE HIM PRESNAP EVERY PLAY. THEIR D LINE AND LINEBACKERS ARE NOTHING TO MESS WITH, AND OUR OLINE IS UP TO A TOUGH TASK, ESPECIALLY GIVEN OUR PREVIOUS SUSPENSIONS MAKING THE LINE THIN ALREADY. WE WILL RUN TO KEEP THEM HONEST, BUT OUR MAIN FOCAL POINT WILL BE ATTACKING THE WEAKER CORNER BACKS AND FREE SAFETY.
