Seriously? UCF is no better than us overall, just better this season. They will probably win the conference and go to a BCS bowl game, but they did have a decade advantage on us.
UF, FSU, Um have shown in the past that a few years of recruiting and a decent coach can change things.
Yes, we have a lot of work to go. And it may take a few seasons to dig out, but it is not only feasible it will most likely happen if we have the right leader.
Ups and Downs, no team remains up the entire time, ever, in any sport. Just ask the Yankees.
