@NancyCarrow @ArmyNavyGame @CFBPlayoff @ArmyWP_Football @NavyFB @American_Conf @ForbesSports Hi Nancy. I noted in roughly the third or fourth paragraph that conference championship games will be eliminated next year. Certainly, the December college football calendar will look quite different in 2027.

Thankfully, while the @ArmyNavyGame was moved up a week, no @CFBPlayoff matchup will conflict with the time slot. @ArmyWP_Football @NavyFB @American_Conf @ForbesSports

Bryson Rodgers talking about the offense at ECU following an opening possession he capped with a 26-yard TD reception: "It is kind of scary when we look back at the film and see how many plays we left on the field....It wasn't really the defense stopping us." #usf

The 24-team @CFBPlayoff is here. @ForbesSports

The Bulls had 11 net yards on their 10 third down opportunities. The lone conversion was a 2-yard run by D.J. on a 3rd-and-1.....On third down, Luke was 1-for-4 for 0 yards. Otherwise, he was 16-for-17 for 179 yards. #usf

[Tom Layberger @TomLay810]

That was Andrew Conrad's first FG attempt since 2024. Goodness. Good for him, though. He drilled it. #usf

[Tom Layberger @TomLay810]

The Bulls' last two possessions, without D.J., produced 22 yards on 7 plays. #usf

[Tom Layberger @TomLay810]

Rightly picked up the flag. Good hit by Tav. #usf

[Tom Layberger @TomLay810]

Longest reception Evan Dangler's career. #usf

[Tom Layberger @TomLay810]

Third 100-yard rushing game for D.J. this season and the sixth of his career. #usf

[Tom Layberger @TomLay810]

The Bulls had allowed only 13 third quarter points this season before ECU's TD drive. #usf

[Tom Layberger @TomLay810]

A kick out of bounds jumpstarted ECU's TD drive....Total yards at the half: ECU 218-183. Pirates with 41 more yards than UAB had last week at RJS. #usf

[Tom Layberger @TomLay810]

Luke Kromehoek on opening drive: 5-5, 77 yards #usf

A neat tradition is @TBLightning players presenting their sticks to local members of the military. A nice way to cap this Military Appreciation evening. #GoBolts
