Moffitt's TD changed the program.  This one was an outstanding physical effort in a game we lost.  My vote goes for Ben!

I don't think what any group of fans says contributes to anything...

But after watching the last few games I think we had to be pleased with the team that showed up. QF easily played his best game of year. Give Strong another year to bring in his style and we will be in a good spot.

I disagree, I think the culture of the program starts and ends with the attitude of fan base. Students and alumni both.

You give me optimism with the 2nd part of your post, though. I'm confident we can establish more of an identity next season.

I guess we should have demanded more excellence

**** right. We're the superior program.

Millennial participation trophy talk. I'm pissed. This game was ours and anyone that thinks otherwise is contributing to the non-championship winning culture here.

Bonus prediction: The tears continue to flow into next week for C. fans as Frost bolts for Nebraska and doesn't even coach their bowl game

Man you all have no faith.  Sad to see the lack of swagger on the field has bled over to the fans.  Where's that super confident/borderline arrogant fan base of years past?  Funny things tend to happen when you put positive thoughts out into the universe.  We all know they have the talent to win this game comfortably and we've DOMINATED this game in the past.  Start believing in our boys again and we will prevail and move on to capture our first AAC title!

Uconn has moved the ball on ucf defense all quarter. They just keep shooting themselves in the foot with penalties. If the usf team that played Illinois and temple shows up I feel we can win the game convincingly. If the team that played Houston shows up we could be in trouble

The good Bulls ALWAYS show up against C.  Even our worst team ever went right down to the wire with their best.

I watched it all.  ucf fumbled, and missed out on two other tds with 3rd and goal situations.  Their O looked way off.  We should watch what SMU did and mimic it.  SMU could have easily won that game, but ucf could have also won by a few more tds.

True.  The fact that their O is looking off this time of year against a below average D is music to my ears.  I'm telling you they're gonna be even more worn out on both sides of the ball and out of sync by the time we play them without having any rest.  Their AD is gonna look back and regret adding that game last week

I turned the game on late, but I heard the announcer say that SMU entered C. territory 7 different times without leaving with a point.  Maybe I missed out on how the game flow was going but at face value that sounds like a lot of bounces going against SMU.

USF: Humbled by 1 loss already, hungry from being knocked out of top 25, underdogs again, bye week coming up, offense showing positive signs at right time of year, 2 extra days rest before Black Friday

C.: Defense is looking worse every week, head coach distractions, CFP ranking distractions, playing way over their heads, offense not tested yet, USF game will be 10th straight week without bye, likely overconfident, USF game will be on short week

Not to mention the fact that we ALWAYS bring it against them even when we've had our most awful teams.  We're winning on Black Friday.

Watching USF and SMU today, and it seems as if catching the football is a lost art.  SMU would've won this in OT if they could just hang on to ONE of 3 crucial catches.

Seniors step up and Bulls flip the switch in a big way.

Both guys have been serviceable and have broken a couple long ones, but this team has definitely been missing that dynamic threat in the backfield this season.  Would make this new "offense" a lot more effective.  Excited to see what Cronkrite, Sands, and the new Mack Attack can do in 2018.

Awesome. The team was a blast to watch last season. With recruiting now on point it's time to take the next step and win a regional.

Frost might, but do his players? Takes discipline and a certain type of athlete to properly defend it. We shall see.

Has C. ever even played Navy before?  I don't think they have, and it's difficult to prepare for the triple option without game experience.  This combined with all the Frost hype/distraction and I predict they come crashing back to Earth this Saturday.  Navy 42-31

Winning the conference championship should be all that matters...whatever happens after that is a bonus.  That being said how can you not root for C. to lose every week, I wanna see us have the division wrapped up before we play them on Black Friday.  That and their fans are absolutely awful.

I guess we're back to the 2016 Bulls. All O no D heart attack central

Great pitch n catch

At least our offense and special teams aren't the most embarrassing units in this game!  Refs got that on lock

Pretty clear who our best non-QB ball carrier is.

Both sides of the ball have looked good so far. The special teams is what is killing us tonight 

I wouldn't say the offense has looked good.  Not as terrible as the last 2 weeks, but there's still absolutely no rhythm.

At least our D looks much better.  We might just put together the most unimpressive undefeated season in the history of the world.
