    in a vaccum yes- but we saw in hiring one this past offseason and an OC - nobody wanted to come because they saw the writing on the wall.. hell, that S&c dude got here and looked around and said “I’d rather spend my summers in Boston “ lol

    Chauncy was the last one we had that was good/great. It made such a difference for everyone.

    Slaughter and Barber will on OL.
    Have a couple on DL that also will play.

    Lyons, Boureu, and Slackman down at our worst position on defense. That hurts.

    Slaughter and Barber might but they can’t carry a weak line. I doubt any of our interior dline will play on Sundays unless it’s the younger guys .

    That kid Harvey from UCF must be licking his chops. Rushed for 448 already, as a team avg well over 6 yards a carry, almost 7. KJ Jefferson knows how to beat us.

    This game does not set up well for a drained swamp and a horrible front 4.

    I obviously want to belive in UF but given the injury situation, lack of pass rush, KJ's
    ability to scramble, and UCF's ability to rush the ball it really looks worrisome. They could control the ball for 40 minutes!

    The offense better score on every possession and we better hope UCF turns it over 3 or 4 times or we are in big trouble.

    Hopefully the coaches get more aggressive against the run at least initially. If we can get the lead early that'll help force them to pass.

    Agree, better stack the box and play press coverage. I worry KJ will eat us alive.
