They have an article for each position. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/blogs/knights-notepad/os-ucf-season-preview-five-storylines-20130717,0,3106175.post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can scoff at O'Leary ( and a lot of the crticism is earned) , but thruth be told, he travelled the State of Florida almost non stop for a year to meet with Alums and UCF supporters to gain support for the projects. He was the driving force behind the funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope USF will be able to upgrade to their own facilities before long. That's one area I think UCF kills us. I mean, it's nice playing in RJS and all, but it's nicer to be able to get in the college atmosphere and actually be ON campus. Nice facilities, and looks like a good plan there. USF has plenty of real estate, guess we just lack the fundraising (esp after LRS left us). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No "D", no glory.http://m.usatoday.com/article/news/2584833 It sounds like UCF fans have a lot more to be optimistic about than USF fans. I think biggest questions for USF are QB and the defense. If one of our QBs step up and the coaches improve the defense, I think USF will be a tough game for all of our opponents. Sounds like UCF has the potential to upset some teams as well, but their past record against AQ teams is so lopsided that it's really hard to say with any confidence that UCF will present much of a challenge to any of them. What is frightening is in the last 2 seasons, USF has only 3 wins against AQ opponents (3-13 vs. AQ). The wins being ND, Syracuse, and Uconn. USF is 8-18 in the last 3 seasons. I hope out players haven't forgotten how to win. Many of last years games were so close and USF gave up so many 4th quarter leads that I think it's reasonable to believe that the new coaching staff can fix the issues and win those games instead of lose them in the final minutes. If this is the case then USF could also be decent this year, but new QB and RB really leaves a lot of questions for the offense.
