I come in peace

UCF plays our cupcake this week so I am looking ahead to the FAU @ UCF game.  What are your guys thoughts? The UCF forum gets old with the same homer opinions.

We will have to improve immediately on defense or you will win, no problem…

I don't see decline in your play, in fact, if the first game is a valid measuring stick, you may be slightly better than last year overall…

What's up UCFORE – I would say a lot on here were cautiously optimistic about our chances in Orlando before Saturday. Most may still be, but there is a bit of an unknown now and obviously a bit of concern given Saturday's performance. As stated above, defense is a real concern and my guess is UCF would have had a field day on FAU's D had it played the Owls on Saturday. Hoping adjustments are made. My guess is UCF will be a 2 touchdown+ favorite heading into the game.

FAU still has a ton of talent, but needs to find the scheme and effort they had once they bought in through the last 10 games of 2017.

OU has an incredible offense that did not miss a beat after losing last year's Heisman, and UCF clearly has another very high-powered offense to deal with.   No offense to the Knights, but you guys will not run the same level of athletes out there as OU (close - but not the same), and I expect FAU to eat a huge helping of humble pie and come out trying to prove something in these next 2 games.  But it will be an uphill  climb.  I expect UCF to be HEAVY favorites now (probably the same 3 scores OU was).

My hope is (since I will be going) we see something much closer to the FAU from last November than we do the FAU from last weekend. We'll all have a better take after we see how the Owls react this weekend vs Air Force.

It's simple.

We find a QB before we play you…it will be a fun competitive night.

We dont…well, it wont be much of a game.

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

Only way this will be a game is if our D schematic wise changes dramatically.  Ucf is running the super fast tempo we ran last year.   They dont have the same type of athletes OU had(however, they are still very athletic as well) but their playcalling will be the same just at a much faster pace.  Hopefully our Offense finds a consistent qb by then and gets flowing.  Pecaro is my main concern though, still have no clue why we hired this guy away from usm.

It's hard to say at this point. We played poorly on Saturday. Not sure yet how much of that was because of the opponent.

Wish our first game had been against Bethune-Cookman to iron out the kinks. That game comes before the UCF game. If the outcome isn't similar to last year's, or if that BCU game is in any way close, we're toast vs the Knights.

We do have a lot of talent. We just need to remember how best to utilize it.
