What really used to excite me about our team is the "we can beat anybody" mentality we had. It was great going into a game against any team, no matter how good they were knowing we had a punchers chance and often came away with a win. It started with that Pitt win all those years ago and continued against Louisville, Auburn, FSU, Miami, WVU and Notre Dame. (Of course we also had the ability to lose to anybody.)
It kind of ended with Notre Dame IMO. We need to get that swagger back. UCF is a solid team but does not have the cachet of the ones I have mentioned but it would be a good start.
I don't have a lot of confidence heading into this game. In fact, I think we lose pretty badly. If its any conciliation, I felt that way about all the games I mentioned above. It would be nice for my Bulls to start surprising me again. That was when it was truly exciting to watch.
