I know it's not popular with some, but UCF is in the top 4-5 of our conference.  I watched much of the Maryland game, 10 pt faves, and UCF gave them all they can handle.  Their QB could be special (though he lacks size), but better learn to control the ball (6 fumbles, 3 lost won't win many games).  Killins is a serious speed back, and Ta'Quan Smith is one of the best WRs we'll see (but, we seem to have good game plans to lock down stud WRs...we'll see how we do with FSU's Randolf next week).

UCF's D is nasty...but I think we can pick them apart with a good game plan.  Our guys in space can beat anyone on our schedule.

As to Frost, that 4th & 1 run at their 11 was WOW, risky.  And I was stunned when we didn't call TO with 40 seconds left near midfield.  If he calls TO, no way UM throws the Hail Mary (they miss, and UCF gets the ball with 30 seconds to get into FG position).  Instead, by letting it go to 5, UM can safely throw the hail mary with little risk.  Even Coach Durkin (UM) looked pleasantly surprised he didn't call the TO.  Frost has some learning to do.

In short, UCF is much improved over last year.  But man, that "UCFast" hashtag is lame.

Yeah Coach Chinander is doing a great job with that group. The problem is no depth which is expected with O'leary's bad recruiting the last 2 years. I noticed during the Maryland game that just about all their big plays late in the 4th is when Pittman rotated out of the game. If Pittman and Guerard can stay healthy the defense will be pretty good.

Right now I think it's a 4 win team but how Milton plays/develops may make the team an even tougher out those last 4 weeks. He was a little wreckless his 1st game but he's a playmaker

Against Michigan a couple players looked fast but as a whole I think they are  more UcFraud than UCFast.

did you guys forget how Taggart did his first 2 seasons?

says the Program that still has an empty trophy case

Harbaugh had his 1s in till about 5 minutes left in the game and was still passing on 4th and shorts

He also didn't allow UCF on the field for the National Anthem. I know why so many people don't like the guy, good coach but Grade A Douchebag

Well,  looks like its not an option anymore (at least for this game)

I hope it's not a serious injury.  

Patti is not much better. I'm hoping Frost just throws in the Freshman from Hawaii in a few games

I will say about the UCiFers, they got some really bad & no-calls go against them early. They all (including the coaches) look beaten already...honestly sent chills in me, thinking back to our 2013 season.

yeah I knew we are completely outmatched but they let some pass interference/defensive holding go by Michigan on those first few drives

I hope Holman is not the QB by conference play, he can't process this offense

I'm confused. You went looking for a USF board, found this place, created your own account, and repeatedly log in here to tell us things like, "We raised money to put in bigger video boards" and this doesn't seem at all like a waste of your time? I took a dump the size of a Pringles can this morning and I would imagine 90% of the people here would rather hear me talk more about that than the ground-breaking revelation that UCF now has the 17th largest video screen in counties named after citrus fruits.

this is the American board and I've posted here for a few years now. Your fans travel to UCF for Football and basketball games so it's newsworthy but if you prefer it to remain a ghostown while you guys get the Conference Realignment thread to 700 pages so be it

The Big12? They bought it thinking it will help getting into the Big12? 

was just pointing out how it compared to other On Campus Stadiums. 

The new AD has been very aggressive with fundraising(1.5 mil this offseason so far) that probably helped to get the go ahead on these upgrades but I don't think most fans expected it to come this fast

Ray Jay will have almost 29,000 sq ft of HD, state of the art, video boards after the current upgrades are done, making it 3rd in video space in the NFL. The 2 end zone screens will each be 2 1/2 times larger than UCF's new screen.

 

http://www.buccaneers.com/stadium-renovations/

Not expected to compete with an NFL stadium but it will be the largest video board for a G5 On Campus Stadium in the Country. In the Big 12, only Texas, Oklahoma, and Baylor would have larger video boards at their On Campus Facilities.

6.5x larger than the old one, LED, & south endzone ribbon. Basketball Arena is also getting new screens.

Possibly, to a media who'll have no say so whatsoever in the decisions .....

Pimping a coach who hasn't coached a game yet and an inflated Spring Game attendance helping perception. Come on, man, you guys don't still have to resort to crap like this, do you?

what am I resorting to? I don't control what the national media thinks. Just like most of them hated O'leary, they love Frost.

Agreed. So the ammunition of "they best Baylor in 2013" with a coach//AD//entire team and scheme that is gone should also hold no water because it's one season in one sport. Realignment is only who has the potential to bring in more money.  

Agree but UCF hired a Coach that most media thought beforehand was out of our league even though he's not proven yet. That has helped perception this offseason along with the Spring Game attendance

UCF is clearly rolling out 64 uni combos for P5 play

You guys def had an impressive showing, but there's no way that's right. Here's this from your own board from that douche that comes over here sometimes (UCFmikes).

Marc Daniels just announced 23,000 and change.

"No way. I don't want to be negative, but it wasn't more than half full. Not a chance"

 

If I had to guess I think attendance was somewhere from 18k-19k but there is no reason to fudge spring numbers so maybe it was 23K. Either way it's at least 3X as many fans as the highest attended spring game under O'leary

Brent Key is available

Why would any USF fan side with Michigan on this? Just bc Harbaugh is friends w Taggart doesn't mean it will help your program at all, it hurts it. You have a Midwest Program that already has a National reach planting a flag in the most fertile recruiting area in the Country.

I side w the SEC on this.

Were you inside during an August afternoon, before the rain?

yeah

Looks like Frost is having them upgrade it anyway w central AC

This should not be legal. They signed up to be Student Athletes at Michigan, Spring Practice should be on their campus.

Harbaugh is trying to erase the location advantage

We are already 2nd in average player ranking, but because we have a smaller class our cumulative rating is 4th.  Hope it goes up.  The other funny thing is with all the B12 expansion talk of adding Cincy and UConn, their recruiting is going backwards!!!!   Cincy is ranked 8th in the AAC and UConn is dead ass last 

Cincy has been using it in recruiting too. Tuberville becoming lazy like O'leary

Snelson(Under Armour All American WR) & Dowdell are 4*s on Rivals but 3s on 247. In the AAC it's a pack of 4 then everyone else for this class

Please, there is nothing to support the idea that his offer was pulled because he visited USF

He never visited UCF. If his commitment was accepted he would have visited on the 15th with all the other solids in this class
