OFFICIAL UCF game week discussion thread

Someone should geek out some acoustic engineering and optimize crowd noise. But paying fans probably wouldn’t appreciate that.
 
Easily a winnable game judging by the way we played Saturday. Clean up mistakes, especially penalties on the 5 and staring at the receiver before you throw, and we got this. Shoulda blown FSU out by at LEAST 24-13, if not 35-13.

Remnants of Sally blowing through on Friday....
 
If we clean up our basic mistakes, I believe we will crap down Disney U’s collective throats.

This is one of our toughest games on the schedule period. Will be much harder than FSU. While we obviously left points on the table they kinda did too and we only barely won.

Vegas has us as a serious dog even after seeing week 1 for a reason. A lot of people are building themselves up for a lot of anger toward a team that is very much in the earliest stages of a work in progress. UCF has been firing on all cylinders for years.

Most interesting wildcard is we have a game under our belt and they dont. From an execution standpoint that is in our favor, esp early in the game. On the other hand, UCF has now seen us and will have a lot of material to work with to exploit us. We arent going to surprise them with a passing game FSU couldnt have anticipated. We dont have any 2020 film on them which is a disadvantage.

UCF may have the same speed of the game issues we faced early in the FSU game. We have the advantage of seeing the mistakes we made and making corrections for week 2. UCF is gonna make mistakes we need to exploit.

A few quick 3 and outs with their offense and they are ded. They like high tempo. We need to keep their defense on the field tired.
 
I suspect UCF is a bit over-rated (#13 Coaches/#14 AP). They had 10 players opt out, and they are not the kind of factory program that just reloads every year with great talent depth. Each season can be unpredictable based on how all the planets line up for them. I'm also glad we aren't playing a cupcake for our OOC game. It would be a let down after last week if we played Gardner Webb this week. Need to squeeze some fresh juice.

Yes but look at Miami’s recruiting rankings, and we beat them like a red headed step child almost every year. Even when we finish 3-9. Coaching matters a lot. Our boys can’t rest on their laurels for this one.
 
Are we really going to lose to a team who's stadium is called the "Bounce House"?

The UCF dude on here says one was starter. Surprising only one out of ten...

Was a starter in 2019. How many would have been starters this season?
I think we can beat them. Tulsa beat them iirc. Pitt beat them. We are much better than what lined up last season. Their QB threw for a ton of yards, but he is only 5'11" and 185
