USF not taking Western Carolina lightly

 

By Jacob Hoag, ASST. SPORTS EDITOR
On August 27, 2014
 

Heading into the Bulls’ Week 1 matchup with Western Carolina, coach Willie Taggart still has questions about how his team will handle the struggles associated with a regular season game.

 

“The one thing I worry about is how people are going to respond to adversity,” Taggart said. “You don’t get that until the season starts and it’s going to happen. That’s what got us last year.”

 

The team looks to have a much better showing in its opening game this season after a devastating 53-21 loss to McNeese State to open last season. Senior defensive tackle Todd Chandler said the Bulls overlooked the Cowboys last year and vow to be solely focused on Game 1, heading into 2014.

 

“Last year we kind of looked over McNeese State and were focused on the Michigan State game,” Chandler said. “We’re treating this game like we’re playing Florida State, like this is the biggest game on our schedule.”

 

The Bulls are far removed from their days of a packed house at Raymond James Stadium, but are striving to win back their fans ...

We lost to FSU. Hope we treat the game differently.

 

I think his use of FSU is a nod at their consensus #1 status after winning the national championship, not necessarily because we played (and lost) to them a couple of seasons ago.

Exactly, adversity. It's that problem that's plagued the Bulls for a decade. Even in the high years, we fell after a loss and just couldn't get back up and shake it off. Getting the team to gel together over the off-season is going to pay dividends. I think we see a team with a lot more heart this year. If we don't, well, it's going to be another long year.

Good, we have no reason to take them lightly. We aren't good enough to take the pee wee hillsborough county all stars lightly.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
