When it mattered most we bottled it up and went conservative. End result? Two drives negative yards gained and a helluva boost to the UCF defense, game killer for USF. They put up 21 after that, we put up 8 on a busted coverage and helluva 2 point play by Q. Edited November 25, 2017 by PCBull14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First drive run Tice into the line on 2nd and 10 for no gain then get holding on the next run killing the drive. Then the following drive try QB run up the middle and dump off pass to set up 3rd and long. All the while they couldn’t cover our receivers downfield or get any pass rush. Yes most of the game was opened up but once we got the lead I think the urgency to score was gone and CCS was trying to win 34-28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCS does what it takes to GET or HOLD the lead, but not INCREASE the lead. We go conservative WAY too early. I know there were a few games where we did blow it out but not sure that was the coaches plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you ever give credit when it's due or just point out the times they called conservative? That helluva play was a designed play called by the coach as was the busted play. You might not like the coaches but you provided examples of excellent play calls. P.S. UCF punted the ball several times on 4th and very short. I thought that was conservative when they had the lead and they were around mid field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how much the less-effective offense this year was effective in resting the D more during the games and causing their improvement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think a slower paced offense helped the defense...but between a 3 and out or a one play td ill take td all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
