That QB Holman, what a gem. I saw in him what I think it takes to be a winner: heart for the game, football smarts, great arm, great legs, and an outstanding mature staff coaching him. Yes, they lost today, but while he was on the field they outscored Penn St. 21-13, and 3 of those 13 came as time expired. USF? We have a starting QB who has yet to win a game with a coaching staff still struggling to find themselves. They’re on the right track but have a long, long road ahead of them. There, I got it off my chest. Now I can go to the game tonight with no false expectations. I’ll take the game for what it is—entertainment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still has a lot to learn, especially to be consistent which is why he lost QB1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the hell GOL was thinking starting Dinovo and his noodle arm. It won't get easier with Mizzou next but Holman gives me hope we have a chance to repeat as AAC Champs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So will be interested to see how he does as a starter. UCF has a good defense so even with a avg offense they will be a good team this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They barely beat us and several of the countries other worst teams last year with the second coming of Tim Tebow, I think I'll hold my judgement until everyone in the AAC plays lol. ughh Penn State has a QB that will be playing in the NFL in a few years. It's hard to open up the first game and be sharp then you add playing in Europe. West Carolina would have been a better opponent when breaking in a new QB Edited August 30, 2014 by ambienknights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Carolina would have been a better opponent when breaking in a new QB QB looked good, or UCF's secondary is just meh, or both! Back to my point...Half the conference hasn't even played their first game of the season yet. UCF goes 10-22 @ 200+ yards, with minimal rushing yards and they're the team to beat- see what I'm saying? I get your point but it's opening up with a BIG team with a very good QB even if they are middle of the road in their conference this year If I had to guess UCF, Cincy, ECU, and Temple will be the top 4 AAC teams but it's a long year. UCF's offense needs a healthy Stanback & Hall back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see what he can really do in the coming weeks. For now, I'll just happily savor UCF's defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming off best season in history, playing a higher profile program ... the place would really have been wocking ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't watch game but I don't think good defenses give up 551 yds of offense ... 90 yards of penalties didn't help PSU either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
