Re: UCF Football #22: vs UCONN
Really boring second half, but it appears Heupel learned his lesson from the FAMU game about putting his starters out there in garbage time.
Going to be interesting to see how it goes next week.
Short week on the road and you know that Cincinnati team is going to be looking for revenge after getting embarrassed on national TV last year. Their crowd is going to be real fired up.

Gabriel's inability/unwillingness to run is still supremely frustrating.
He does not have the quickness and start up speed that Milton has, but there are still times that he just has to take off and go.
Gabriel had a couple of must-runs (most glaringly was the drive near mid field with no defenders in front of him) that he again declined.
I just wonder how much of the not running is a throttle down by JH.
Basketball is driven by three principles:
1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

I'm just as worried about the Cincinnati as before we played at Pitt. This has the exact same feeling to me. If we don't play good, of course Cincinnati can beat us.
College Gameday is coming to Gainsville on Saturday October 5th for Florida vs Auburn!!!! I already had a ticket for the game and now I get to see College Gameday for the 1st time at UF. Their Ben Hill Griffin stadium is loud, Now it will be a lot louder than it already was with College Gameday there. I got to wake up like at 6am and get out the door by 6:30 am if I'm going to be ready at 9am to see their live show in person.

Hopefully Auburn plays a good game.
Gameday is fun but a lot of standing in one spot for hours.

at about 180 lbs, i would hope JH throttles QB runs down a little.

Its not really an issue standing in one spot for hours. I've been to 2 College Gamedays in my life at UCF and at Disney so anytime they have College Gameday coming to Florida I'm going. The 2 Gamedays I have been to, they are very fun and the 3 hours goes by fast so it is definitely worth going to it when you get the chance to go.
I'm very worried about the UCF game at Cincinnati, they have a really good chance at beating us. But if we are able to come out with a win at their place than we would have a good chance to win out our last regular season games. This game at Cincinnati dictates the rest of our season. 1 more loss before the conference championship and it would be hard to make a new year's 6 bowl game but it wouldn't rule us yet of the conference championship game.
Cincinnati I think is the 2nd team in our conference behind us but if they beat us than they have to go above us. It's close between Cincy/Memphis and SMU and than Tulane is the next team after them. Our conference isn't the strongest conference in College Football and it gets some criticism but Cincy/Memphis/SMU and Tulane are really good teams, Houston and Temple are ok but everybody else in our conference their football team does suck this year.

Appalachian State is one to watch for Knights fans. They beat North Carolina on the road, a NC that almost beat Clemson. If the Mountaineers win out, I guess they go large in a bowling bid; that might lock out the Knights.

Re: UCF Football #19: @ Cincinnati
Perhaps. They play @South Carolina in November so that'll probably be their last real challenge. It'll be interesting if they go undefeated and we win out, we'll be falling over ourselves saying their SOS is too weak and we should be ahead of a lossless team. lol
Gotta win our games first though.

I would bet my life savings that UCF with 1 loss would get in over Appalachian State with zero losses.

Appalachian State lol they don't play anybody any good. Boise State played a very bad FSU team and they have to play at BYU. The only good opponent Boise State has on their schedule is the game at BYU.

Hard fought game so far. Tough to see us getting 30 tonight, unless their D tires and starts giving up more chunks in the passing game.

They'll get that Cincy D figured out over halftime and come out blazing.
Both offense are sucking though.

Re: UCF Football #19: @ Cincinnati
Some of our teams in our conference don't play their home football games on their campus. Temple,USF, Uconn and Navy don't. Uconn football is leaving our conference after this season. Navy ok totally understand that one. But Temple and USF? Maybe Temple and USF campus is too small to build a football stadium?

I remember when UCF's football stadium resembled a high school field with bleachers.
Cuz it wasn't a stadium.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Mack for the rest of this game. Gabriel is not there mentally at all.

this, its time to sit him down, too many opportunities to complete passes that have been blown
