Temple at home hopefully get some bad weather....temple is playing better but dont think they can win just beat em up a lil

At this point is does not matter.  ucf could drop their next two games and it still sets up a winner takes all Black Friday.

We're a tougher match up for UCF than UCF is us. Our style of play on both sides of the ball is tailormade to attack their weaknesses

Our OL vs the DL is not a match up that favors us

Unless you seen somethingI didn't last night, Houston's D line will be the toughest we face all year. SMU was getting tons of push towards the end of the game. They have their 3 Bigs and nothing else once they're tired. 

There's a reason we get the rushing yards we do,  our oline isn't a bunch of slouches. Look back on the BJ run for your life days for a point of reference. Shoot Q lit up the stat sheet because of the protection they were giving him. 

I respect UCiF in regards to their ability to score with time and open space. They'll get neither against us. Orlando might as well be a home game and we very rarely lose at home.

All this analysis is getting me hyped.  I want to binge on turkey gravy and then watch this game.

Could be. After last weekend, USF is #41 in passing yards allowed, UCF is number 11 in passing offense. USF run D may be much more important, especially if the D line pressures the UCF QB.

By the numbers USF will be the best run D UCF encounters this year, and in the same breath, I think UCF will be the best Offense USF will encounter this year, at least during the regular season.

Both teams are actually good during the same season. This one is going to be incredibly fun to watch in person, more so than seasons past.

How do you mean?  Just curious as all the amateur analyst will be watching game videos and making extrapolations and each area. 

What are you thinking?

 

 

UCF's offense is predicated on big plays from one of two things, Killings getting the edge and Big plays in the passing game.  USF has successfully controlled the LOS on defense all season.  USF has one of the best pass rushes in the nation (tied for 11th in sacks nationally and tied for #2 in TFL) and the 11th ranked rush defense in the country.   The non statistical X-Factors to go with these stats are that USF will be the most athletic defense UCF has faced all season.  Killings will have fare more trouble getting the edge because of this.  Then you have Milton which still has a tendency to make VERY bad decisions when he's pressured and USF will certainly do that as they have all season.  Then when he makes those ill advised throws USF's secondary is very opportunistic (2nd in the country in INTs).  

Then you have the USF offense which is based on controlling 33rd nationally and is based on running the football. USF is top 10 nationally in rushing offense while UCF is 41st in Rushing defense.   This is also key that it can allow USF to shorten the game and keep UCFs offense off of the field.  

Then you have Flowers.  The coaches showed some willingness to let him do his thing last week and UCF looked vulnerable to an athletic QB and QB's don't get much more athletic than Flowers.   

 

I think this game looks similar to USF Vs Temple last season with USF playing the roll of temple.  We'll have the athletes and scheme to limit the big plays and an offense that will basically be a second defense by grinding out drives and making big plays when necessary.  We also have the athletes on defense to make UCF pay for mistakes that other defenses haven't had.  I think this ends up being something like 38-31 USF.
