UCF is the real measuring stick not OU as far as talent and Florida bragging rights, if we can beat them as a ranked team on the road it will catapult us back into the convo of being ranked. Plus if we win we would have probably ended the longest winning streak in the nation.Posted On: Sep 10th 2018, 4:54 PM #380594
Agreed that AF is a tricky game to evaluate because the score was closer than it should have been – kind of like Marshall last year, beating ourselves to make the game more interesting than it had to be. UCF though, will be a very tough game for us from what I've seen so far. We aren't going to beat them if we have no special team play and no running game. Remains to be seen how this pans out. What we can't afford as a program is to be absolutely humiliated on national TV again. At the very least, we need to put up a good showing for national perception and any chance to get ranked at the end of the year.

Crushing UNC I don't think would help UCF much (they were a 14.5 point favorite last I looked).

All eyes are on you now FAU.

They have 2 weeks to prepare, but honestly this could help in that there could be rust from an unexpected week layover and still some unknowns re: our football team, which won't necessarily be answered by the Bethune Cookman game, a game where we can get some of our momentum back from last year. This UCF game is arguably the most important game in FAU history to this juncture. I'm serious – we can lose, but we have to have a good showing.

I think this may benefit us. With FAU playing a game and working out all the kinks it will get us prepared while they sit and practice lightly. On a Friday night primetime game I can see us being the toughest competition they have seen all year at that moment in time, thus catching them by surprise. They have been playing nobody's but this is where we can steal one from them as they look ahead for to their next game. We need the run game to get established and we need to work on special teams. Once the run is established I think we will be hard to stop on offense. It could be back and forth scoring, but as far as intangibles and experience we will have the edge.This is the biggest game in program history, they are ranked and have the longest winning streak in FBS. A win will be a game changer and an all-timer.d-owl said
