And boy do his running stats look great.
134 yrds per game. 8.9 yrds/carry average.

For me his amazing stat is: RJ Harvey is averaging one TD for every 5 carries. That's insane.
Reminds me of that 90s quote, "all he does is score touchdowns".


yea if we didn't have such a deep RB room his stats the first two games would be craaaaaazy. Either way I expect he'll start to see more of the workload as we get into tougher opponents, but having such depth is great to keep him fresh for late game.

KJ looked much better in this game and more what I think we were expecting. People might wonder where the TDs are from the air but odds are we're not going to be that team. We're going to be a bruising running team that eats up clock while marching down the field with some explosive runs and plays thrown in there.

Big test next weekend @ TCU to see if this team can be legit or if we'll struggle against better competition.

a) Test passed. All road wins are good wins. And Jefferson to Hudson was beautiful all game.

b) Harvey looks like a legit NFL talent. Man was he just awesome. 209 total yards this game. 3 TDs.

Yea crazy game. I remember thinking going into halftime thinking we were lucky to only be down 14, and that if the defense could find a way to get some stops I think the offense would figure it out in the second half. To start the second half by giving up a TD was not great, lol. I had resigned at that point that we weren't going to win and just hoped to see us put up some fight. We then scored quickly and it was back to two possessions. Somehow the defense finally started getting stops and we clawed our way back into it.

a) KJ Jefferson was great last night. He got hurt (think bruised ribs) in the first half, so he stopped running as much but he looked great in that second half throwing the ball.

b) RJ looked great again. He's a legit NFL caliber back.

c) Kobe Hudson went into beast mode and looked amazing.

Ongoing concerns: We need to find someone on the D-Line that can get some sacks and put some more pressure. The secondary was getting burned in the first half and then had some injuries pop up, but TCU has a legit QB and some LEGIT WRs. Those dudes were just balling.

Hopefully this game carries forward and we can keep the momentum going. I really want to destroy Colorado very badly. I'll be in France during the game though, so selfishly hoping for an early or afternoon game so I don't have to wakeup at 3am to watch it, lol.

https://ucf.forums.rivals.com/forums/the-dungeon-knights-only.6/

If you're willing to pay, the Rivals' Dungeon forum is probably your best bet. They also have free boards as well but they're more akin to a facebook group, lol (which can be fine, but has a lot of knuckleheads).

https://ucf.forums.rivals.com/aud-feeds/

I haven't joined the 247 forums or On3 but those forums probably have some decent discussions as well, but again I think those are paid as well.

UCF is ranked 29 and Colorado is 66 in the Post-Week 4 SP+ Rankings.

Interesting seeing the Knights so heavily favored here.

I wonder if we are looking at an 70+ point shoot-out here.

Also: as it is supposed to be wet, I expect RJ Harvey to get at least 30 carries. Is a 200 yrd game possible here? Maybe.

the way colorado moves the ball through the air seems like it should be a lot of cause for concern. If it is wet that would seem to help UCF a lot

The betting line has grown from 14 to a current 15 1/2. Not sure how one can make that bet.

The current O/U is 64.5. One has to love the Over there. But that's a tough bet to place.

I am glad I don't gamble. Clearly one should wager the Knights over the spread and the Over, but how can one do that?

The brain hurts after that one.

BUT! We can feel way better with a win over the Gators at their place next week.

If I had to choose, I'd take that win more.

This is arguably the worst UF team of all time, so UCF should most likely win.

I hate watching this UCF team play. So boring and uninteresting style. Not feeling Gus.

KJ has to go. Dude can’t throw the ball, can’t even get rid of it when he knows he’s about to be sacked

For the sake of my sanity turned it off in the third
