This was a reply spotted on an Instagram post from Kentucky Football highlighting quarterback Will Levis. The Wildcats are coming off a win at Florida over the weekend.

WR Javon Baker, UCF's leading receiver who played at Alabama last season, was committed to play at Kentucky until something unknown transpired and he was cut loose during the summer (he never officially enrolled at Kentucky). That's when he ended up at UCF.

Javon replied to this IG post with a sad face emoji. 😕

A fan replied, "you were ballin out on UL. Wish we had you in blue and white."

Baker replied, "same. 😕"

this plus the general hot takes about UCF football means it’s a must listen

I am predicting meltdowns

everytime I see a “employees must wash hands” sign, I always think to myself it should say “EVERYONE must wash hands”.
FYI for you ladies- a lot of grown men don’t wash their hands after the restroom. Some will use water, but no soap.

After reading watching this what I see versus what we saw with Looserville is in these highlights JRP isn’t trying to read a defense on these plays. He’s keeping and running worth that ball pre snap.

It looks to me like he’s attempting to be a real QB and either not running for it or running for it after attempting to pass so he runs with hesitation versus what we see above which is a big kid that’s 100% making a run for it from the first go.

When Thornton came in he was clearing aiming at the ball and dislodged it. There was no head shoulder of the receiver getting clocked.

I don't get why the announcers were so upset. And they acted like well if the receiver drops the ball, then it must be targetting.

Thornton expertly aimed at the ball and dislodged it. Great play And great overturned call.

On the Bridge (starts at 10:15 mark) Marc talks about what the teams' earn (sometimes winning, sometimes losing). Marc breaks down UCF's offensive struggles in their last 10 drives but UCF still had not one but 2 chances inside the 10 to win the game...as he notes JRP's confidence was not the same. (Also, hard to win close games when you have not 1 but 2 TDs returned back because of penalties).

SIAP but this is hilarious...

But how do we get rid of Obarski? I’m flabbergasted by the fact he’s our starting kicker, going on his third year. How do we lose this guy? What would Saban do with Obarski?

Rivals has continued its partnership with Pro Football Focus (PFF) which grants me access to their comprehensive analytics and statistical tools.

After each game, two separate analysts grade every player on each play of the game and the two totals are averaged out. Obviously no subjective ranking system is perfect, but I am finding that my real world impressions of a player in a certain game usually reflects the PFF grade.

PFF Grading Scale

90 and above - Elite
80 to 89 - Great
70 to 79 - Good
60 to 69 - Average to Above Average
50 - 59 - Below Average
49 and below - Poor

Oh, you mean they're channeling Hitler, not Snoke ? Ok, now I get it.

More and more people are ditching ESPN Game Day...especially when FOX has their biggest game at Noon.

IDGAF if this is punching down or whatever, I need to feel something after last night. And they say laughter is the best medicine.

Shows ROK and Kobe as starters. Sadly, Obarski, too.

I've been told that Alex is on a billboard in and around Orlando. If somebody happens to see this billboard, can you get a picture for me? Thanks in advance.

Congrats to all who were featured! What an honor! Make sure you click to see the full thread (a lot of you guys were ultimately vindicated lol)

Is this our first spotlight on there? I bet Brandon was the leaker just to stir the pot

……I felt like I needed to contribute to post-loss insanity.

If you have some time and want to help my son with something totally unnecessary (lol) vote for him for Florida Today Athlete of the Week. He has been training with KZ all summer and threw 3 TD’s in his last game! You can vote multiple times. Thx! CHARGE ON!!

His name is Logan Silvea, Sophomore QB Cocoa Beach

Penalties and stalled second-half drives doomed UCF's offense in the 20-14 loss to Louisville, but tight end Alec Holler says the team has learned from the mistakes and intends to right the ship this weekend down at FAU.

The redshirt senior was the offensive representative at this week's press conference.

Recap:

He spoke about the Louisville loss being tough, mentioning the "24 hour rule." They've watched the film, made corrections and will be better next week.

What has John Rhys Plumlee said about his performance?

"He's a team guy. He talked about, 'I need to be better for you guys.' Us around him need to do a better job of helping him. Like Coach Malzahn said, the quarterback in a win is going to get a lot of praise. In a loss he's going to get trashed a lot."

Holler spoke of eliminating the holding penalties.

What has the team said to encourage JRP?

"Dude, you're a quarterback. We believe in you. You're a great player. We've seen what you can do, man. That's one game. We're past it. We're going to improve. You'll see this week. We'll be a lot better."

Kobe and ROK are playmakers and UCF definitely missed them. Alec then mentioned his drop and how crucial that was. He needed to step up. Said "X" (Xavier Townsend) played well.

I asked if JRP is hard on himself.

"He's a competitor. He loves this team. He loves the game, loves to compete and loves to win more than anything. Anyone after a loss is going to be tough on themselves. 24-hour rule. We're past this game. We're focused on FAU and winning the next game and not letting one game affecting the rest of our season."

One of the players said Saturday night they can't let this loss divide them. Holler said he needs to be a positive influence. They need to be a team and not blame each other. They win and lose as a team.

There were "glimpses" of UCF being a "great offense" against Louisville.

On FAU, they're a "great team." He watched the FAU-Ohio game because Parker Navarro is at Ohio. "Their offense is great. Their defense is pretty solid. They put up a lot of points. They should be a good challenge for us and I think we're going to be up for it this Saturday."

The defense gave the offense a lot of opportunities against UL. The offense didn't step up, but they will step up in the coming weeks.

Holler remembers how FAU fans burned a Knightro statue prior to the 2019 game. "I'd love to see Knight Nation show out in Boca."

He enjoyed watching the Appalachian State upset of Texas A&M. He mentioned Kaedin Robinson being at App State.
