yep, the 3rd down conversions converted by USF hurt. We got killed in time of possession, defense could not get off the field. The tight end #80 could not be covered all day.

No sure if USF is a young team but they have size and speed at key skill positions. This is going to be a good team if they return a lot of players.

Disagree, Odom.

Definitely Odom.

Yeah, as long as Dickey stays to run the offense.

I don't think Fuente will leave just yet though. Probably will stay another year and then really get paid.

They do, don't they?

Some coaches who move up succeed, and others...

For Memphis sake, I hope Fuentes looks at both sides of the coin.

Actually, that's what I heard, that if Fuente leaves, Odom will get a hard look, and Dickey would consider staying with Odom. Guess we'll see, sooner or later.

Yeah, I know. It's just that we've only lost one FB coach in history to another school, and that was over 40 years ago, so it's kinda new to us, lol.

Fuente will probably leave now or soon. I'd just like to enjoy the season, before outsiders start moving our coach elsewhere, lol.

That makes me feel better, Odom HC, and Dickey as OC/AHC would be a strong staff should Fuente leave.

Yes they do, and to his credit, he's done a good job. UT fans have been in a football black hole and they aren't used to that. He's united the fan base, former players, and has locked down recruiting in Middle TN (which is a hot bed right now). Dooley never did.

We will lose Fuente eventually but he's made us respectful and got us out of a black hole within a black hole.

By experience and actual enrollment we are the second youngest team in the FBS. Next year, well be better and by 2016 well be giving this conference hell.

White (QB), Mack (RB), Johnson (RB) will all be seniors and our offensive line will be all Juniors and Seniors in 2016. THose that are down on our coach just dont really know this team. Time is the only thing that will fix it.

Every situation isn't a match for everyone... I like to see Fuente remain still, Memphis is a good situation for him.

Tulane won time of possession in all 4 quarters and killed us in that stat also. That's a stat that we had performed well in until the last few games.

While I like the fact that we're finding ways to win in situations that are different than during the first part of the schedule, I don't know if falling behind in time of possession the last 2 games is something for us to be concerned about or not.

I was more impressed with USF than any team on the day that we beat them this year. There are some real weapons on that squad.

However, the Bearcats looked scary good against UConn last night. Even though we dismantled them fairly impressively, they may be playing the best football in the conference right now.

No doubt. White was awesome at scrambling and finding the open man. Our D was killing me since a lot of those conversions were to people sitting in the middle of the field.
