They just happened to stink up the field with 3 lost fumbles. On the other hand, South Florida played a nearly flawless game.
I don't think they're nearly as bad as what some people are saying based on yesterday's pile of fecal matter that they laid.
I'd say that this was similar to our own bad outing against NIU last year. When they come into South Bend in October, you can bet they'll be fired up.
