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.

I agree that UCF IS improved (I have them at 8), and I think an argument can be made easily for them to move up to 7 over Tulsa, but I don't think they are ready for Cincy, ECU, Memphis or Navy.

They still need to figure out how to run the ball better, and their defense, while talented, has a lot of mental lapses.

Freudian slip?

It all makes sense, now... He's a Manchurian candidate.

At the very least he's a cylon.

Everyone makes fun of it... I didn't go on their boards, but, I bet they had fun with a "Holtz new era (error?)" and "Get on the bus" too. It's not like we haven't traveled the road to lame-ville ourselves.

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
