Deja vu

[USFBulls727]

Same issues that plagued us throughout the year showed up again tonight. Over 100 penalty yards, the body slam by McGee early in the game when we could have forced the FG comes to mind as one of the bigger ones. Special Teams mishaps bit us in the behind once again. Mitchell failing to control the ball is something we've seen before as well. Amazing that we couldn't iron these things out.

On the bright side, this was one of the most exciting games I can ever remember watching. A great showcase game for the AAC, and the package deal of us and UFC going to a P5 has to be a little easier to sell after this game. QF was spectacular. Couldn't possibly ask much more from him. Loved seeing Tyre McCants come up big on the big stage, as he's been one of my favorite players over the last couple years. Sucks that QF will have to end his career playing FAU.

One subject that I've stayed out of on this board up until now is the OCS thing. This is something that has to happen sooner rather than later, if at all possible. The game tonight is what college football should look like. What we have going on at the RayJay for our home games is embarrassing in comparison. Even FAU has a better atmosphere for home games.

Penalties killed this offense all year long. Sometimes they overcame them sometimes not.

Just brutal. I don't even know who our Special Teams coach is, but his unit has performed as well as Raymond Woodie's unit did in 2016. It finally cost us a game.

Justin Burke is the special teams coach. He should have been fired after week 3

He won’t be back. Special teams coaches are like a cheap suite you replace them all the time.

Block in the back? You decide.

Without a doubt that’s a block in the back. The refs missed a lot of holding calls against them also.

Probably missed it due to the side angle of the push.

They missed a lot tonight. I’m not saying they are the reason we lost, but they sure did seem to notice everything we did. The AAC needs an undefeated team to give it more credibility.

I know, but every team feels like this after a loss.  Stay away from the ifs.  We did not lose because of the calls, non-calls.  ucf fans around me felt like we were holding on every play.
