Taggart: Offense "not far" from turning corner

A month into the season, the sleek, power-based offense Willie Taggart promoted as "fast" and "exciting" hasn't lived up to the latter adjective.

But entering Saturday's homecoming game against Syracuse, the Bulls coach is neither conceding -- nor overhauling -- anything.

"Obviously we haven't provided that (fun and excitement) if you watch what we're doing," Taggart said on Monday's American Athletic Conference coaches teleconference. "But I don't think we're far from doing it."

Taggart's conservative approach in the second half of Friday's 24-17 loss at Memphis -- in which USF found the red zone only once -- elicited periodic choruses of boos from the Raymond James Stadium crowd of 14,305.
