Interesting motivational direction. At this point I am desperate. Hell, I am for taking a voodoo doll of George O’Leary and Skip Holtz and burning them in a fire.

Our highest rushing game so far this season was against ECU (390). I don't see us rushing for another 110 yds against a UCF team that is going to want to force us to beat them with Q's arm.

If we can keep him under pressure and force him to make some questionable passes (which he has all season) I like our chances. If UCF beats us it is going to be by throwing the ball, which we have done a decent job at all season (highest passing yds allowed was against ECU for 306).

You are reading this correctly. All the data that I've been gathering about this game says USF WINS. I know we've played sluggish football all year offensively, and we've gambled too much on defense at times and paid the price at least once -to Houston. However, everything is lining up perfectly for a nice, solid win over the rusted tin men. (1) Florida Athletes vs. Florida Athletes: USF wins this matchup because we'll have more rest and we have more seniors. (2) Flowers and the senior leadership on this team, they've seen it all, including losing their head coach and adjusting to new coaches. (3) Flowers, his talent, and his elusiveness. ucf hasn't seen a QB like Flowers since last year when they got beat. Nobody has ever stopped Flowers! ---NOBODY! (4) Our guys have already gotten all the bad voodoo plays out of their system, including that snake-bite play against Houston. The guys will play well. (5) Strong and Gilbert will make better decisions on play selections: the odds are just staggering against them making the same mistakes after what they've seen this season. (6) ucf is not that good. Solid but not world beaters. I've watched a lot of their games now. With Flowers and our RBs, I think we will move the ball and score plenty. Not a problem! (7) All things being equal, I think the intangibles favor USF. Plus, ucf hasn't had to fight for a game this year; they don't know what it's like. Get on top of them and they will start to doubt. And deep down they know their coach is gone after a few more games. That's got to eat at them. Home field advantage? I don't think so. Our players are just going across I-4 and taking their year-long frustrations out on the rusted tin men! These gnats are very average (as in not a FSU-like team when we played FSU). USF WINS! I GUARANTEE IT! ---In all the years on this forum, don't think I've ever guaranteed a victory before. #3 Houston did. That was their gameplan and it worked. I just hope UCF wasn't watching that game. Other than that lets beat that team from mousetown down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please we have a better defense, so we shall shut them down as well. UCF's defensive rankings here might be affected by garbage time yards given up. They've had two close games...at SMU and at Navy. Nobody else has come within 3 touchdowns. They've also had a tougher schedule. We can't afford another off night by QF, or our defense giving up big plays, or our special teams allowing kicks/punts to be blocked. Everything will have to click to win this. Nothing wrong with thinking positive, but this almost feels like a DJ thread. Almost seems like some of you haven't been watching.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
