Kirkwood is their best WR now, and I would place him about the Ryshene Bronson level (not a knock on Ryshene, but he isn't a #1 guy). After that, they have Deloatch who is a good, not great TE. Their competence at WR is severely lacking. They just seemed to match up well vs our lack of run defense. Lets hope that we don't have another night like that again! In their wins, Temple has 210 yards rushing vs Charlotte, 244 rushing yards vs SMU, and 319 vs USF. Edited October 25, 2016 by NavyUSFGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would USF imo. But that is why its separated into categories, because a lot of these are very debatable on whos better. Thanks for the breakdown. Memphis won but were completely dominated statistically by Temple. Oh well, it'll all come out in the wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I like GOOOOLD (and green) Posted October 25, 2016 Group: Member Topic Count: 3 Content Count: 480 Reputation: 34 Days Won: 0 Joined: 02/05/2015 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I like the effort put into the analysis. The rankings themselves are pretty biased. Let's call it subjective and appreciate the work put in though! Temple is, at worst, 4th. USF is at best 5th. ECU is at best 12th at this point. SMU needs to build off their win to deserve the spot they are at. UCONN is not a bad team at all. Not so sure about Tulane. They aren't bad considering they are the next to worst team in the league-although kind of enigmatic just like UCF. They could be very good or could be quite bad.

UCF 4-3 -Boy, has McKenzie Milton really stepped up for a young UCF team that wasn't expected to come out of the conference basement this year. The Knights are 10th in the FBS in sacks per game, with 3.43. But they have a lot of signs that show immaturity, including a conference high 56 penalties with only seven games played. On paper, this team still has a chance in the division race, but realistically, has only beat UConn and ECU in conference, and their other two wins came against virtual high school teams in FIU, and FCS South Carolina State. This week should be good test against a team that is stumbling. Next Up: Houston There are a handful of UCF fans that still think Holman would be a better option for this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are correct it only makes it look worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
