For USF:

--QB Blake Barnett 24/34, 305 yards, 3 TD's, also 31 yards rushing, 1 TD.

Notes: Barnett looked like a former 5 star recruit, albeit against an overmatched opponent. He was on point all night dropping deep passes in a bucket. My opinion here, he has the best pure arm talent of anyone in the AAC. Better pure passer than Flowers and frankly much more talented than our backup QB's. Barnett was taken out of the game with over 8 minutes left in 3rd quarter, with USF leading 31-0. The backup QB's did nothing over the last quarter and half, making the final score of 34-14 seem close.

--WR Randall St. Felix. 7 catches for 143 yards, 1 TD.

Notes: Possibly USF's new number one receiver. We have heard raves about him, and now we have seen him in action. With St. Felix, Salomon, and McCants, and Wilcox at TE, USF has an embarrassment of riches at receiver.

--LB Khalid McGee. 11 Tot tackles.

Notes: With Auggie Sanchez graduated, where are the tackles coming from. Most likely McGee, who looks poised to have over 100 tackles this year.

Other notes: USF's running backs looked mediocre to me. I didn't see a Marlon Mack in the group. However, USF's #1 back Cronkrite, was held out and didn't play due to an injury. Is supposed to be back next week.

USF's run defense was porous at times. Will they be able to stop GT next week? Elon only passed for 42 yards all day, but did rush for 192. Not very good vs. an overmatched FCS team. Although a lot of that came in the 4th quarter when Elon scored 2 late TD's.
