    Since I was a freshman in 1963, I have a very long and broad perspective on fans. I will refrain from characterizing your opinion.

    KJ is more likely to beat you with his feet....better put a spy on him in obvious passing situations.

    That's a huge swing this close to the game.

    Interesting that they didn't update because WR #3 Xavier Townsend just opted out this week and is still listed as a starter.

    UCF's Xavier Townsend opts out, enters transfer portal

    It started moving Monday from UF -1 to UF +2.5. It got as high as UF +3 during the week, but has settled back to UF +2.5 currently.

    Maybe. It started to move around 2:40 Monday afternoon after the presser. Not sure what info came out of the building then.

    Still believe UF wins this game, going away a bit. The rosters are not even close. The Gator offense should have its way with a not very good UCF defense. The game likely hinges on the suspect Gator defense making some plays and slowing down the Gus bus, not getting run over by it. After Samford & Miss St, this is probably the next weakest opponent on the schedule. It’s close with the clowns, this game being at home, gives it a slight push, imho. Billy is lucky that these 3 games were among the first 5. If 2 or all 3 had been swapped with the much tougher teams on the back end of the schedule, the guillotine would’ve already been used.

    I wouldn’t travel for this game either way but my parents offered me their ole miss tix and I declined. I still love the gators but am not willing to drop the cash at this point. If I lived close enough to sleep in my own bed, I’d be there.

    UCF is pretty damn good and capable of beating us . Because our technique and leverage on defense is so poorly coached they can extend drives

    Colorado went all out, stacking the box to stop the run and force ucf to pass which they don't do so well. I'm not sure we're smart enough to do that, or disciplined enough. If we can't stop their running game we lose. Further more, ucf has a very good run D, to win we will have to do it through the air.

    At the risk of eating crow...I saw a number of predictions in the score thread about UCF getting past 40 points on us.

    Looking at UCF's games this year, I don't see why. Our offense would have to turn it over, we'd need a bunch of 3-and-outs, and UCF would have to pass more than normal (instead of slow drives.)

    UCF may well be a bad team. They were dominated by the team that was dominated by Nebraska.

    Doesn’t mean we’ll them though. This could be UCF’s Super Bowl.

    How 'bout the kid getting the FG on CGD!

    They gave him a second try and increased the payout from $75K to $100K - and added an additional $100K to the $500K they are donating to the hurricane relief fund. And he nailed it!!!

    WOW!
