    I have no confidence in this staff, especially on the defensive side of the ball. UCF wins in a shootout 42-31.

    Nah he actually put it out there that they purposefully thought it was the right thing to do. He thought he would outsmart them. Have to look it up but I think we were pretty unbalanced in playcalling based on that plan.

    25 points huh. I assume you have bet the mortgage given the spread is so small.

    True, ugh. Roundabout way of saying we just don't seem to have it together. Saw a video clip of our president promoting voter registration vs Tennesse Vols. That guy has a role in locating our next HC? SMH

    If we can get an early lead, they might not run the ball as much as if they can get the lead.

    All depends on what team shows up, if the O shows like last game UF should win.
    If the D shows like last game it’s gonna be a long night.

    If our defense is half decent, we will win.

    I think both teams score over 30 and would not be surprised if both go over 40. We will not stop the run and will score points off the pass.

    Our Defense hasn't been half decent since 2019. I'm not holding my breath for even partially decent. We'll have to outscore them just like we will for all of our opponents.

    The o/u is 61.5, meaning everybody thinks these defenses are horrible, and it's a pillow fight. That's not a game to bet on, as it likely comes down to turnovers. If those turnovers are in the passing game, you probably are going to like UF in the game.

    There's no good answer. Depends on who the next coach will be, I guess. If we can get a great coach by end of season, good. If for some reason we have to wait longer for a great HC, okay. The rebuilds keep it interesting.

    Talent, training, scheme? We should be decent.

    50th RZ D
    97th pass yards allowed
    91st scoring D

    We actually recruited poorly or ?

    want to bet? Although you predict a big ucf win, we can keep it at the Vegas line. I’ll take UF +2. Loser can’t post for a week starting Sunday morning.

    Well, they will not score 42 and we will score more than 17. That I believe.
