I couldn’t find the cardinal emoji, so I figured the chicken would do.

Formal application and acceptance one year ago today.

Let me preface this by saying it's irrelavent because we are not good and it will never happen... BUT

With our schedule the absolute ceiling for this year was an AAC title and NY6 game. That has not changed. A truly meaningless loss if you really think about it. FAU won't even see us coming either which is another plus.

Idk if I can watch any slates with any sort of enthusiasm. got handled by a team that scored 7 vs Syracuse.
lololol that was the most G5 shit ive seen since going winless

And Johnny Richardson only had 7 touches last night averaging over 10 yards/touch with a 50+ yard TD called back as well.

Bring back Scott Frost and try to recapture the magic.

Into the second quarter. Gus failed to adjust with a QB that really could not read or throw ..let that sink in. Very disappointed in Gus.

Now that we all had a rough night of sleep, give me your hot takes (good or bad) from last night. The best ones will be incorporated into a tweet with each beverage I intake at Epcot today (this place will be laid to waste).

Watching the sidelines yesterday, Louisville was pumped throughout the game, especially in the second half. I’d look over to our sideline and they didn’t look into it. Was this just me, or did anyone else get that kind of vibe?

Nvm he missed it

UCF offensive lineman Sam Jackson has high expectations for his final season.

The starting left guard and sixth-year player appeared at Monday's press conference, just three days before the Knights open the 2022 season against South Carolina State.

"I'm ecstatic," Jackson said about the start of the season. "I love playing football. This is about the time when you're ready to hit somebody else. I'm happy for that."

UCF will start a pair of transfers at the offensive tackle positions: Tylan Grable (Jacksonville State) and Ryan Swoboda (Virginia).

"They've been really good," Jackson said. "They clicked instantly with the unit. Same thing with all our guys. They've done a really good job. They've worked their tails off to get in the position they're in right now."

Another transfer, Cam Kinnie (Georgia) will back up Jackson at left guard.

"Cam Kinnie is a great player," Jackson said. "He's going to be a good addition for our unit. He came in with the mindset of playing. He practiced just like that. He's done everything right. He's gotten better within our offense. He's done a great job all around. He'll definitely help us out throughout the season.

What part of John Rhys Plumlee's game is he most excited to see?

"I love to see his legs," Jackson said. "He's a really good runner. He's also an excellent passer. Just be himself. He doesn't need to do anything more than that. He's a very dynamic player and I think we're going to see that on Thursday."

He has high expectations for the offense.

"I hope it's as explosive as we've ever been," Jackson said. "We could be the top offense in the country if we do what we're supposed to do."

He said it's the "ultimate goal" to win the American Athletic Conference Championship. That's why he came back for a sixth year.

Jackson is the last remaining member of UCF's 2017 scholarship recruiting class, which was recruited by Scott Frost. He was a true freshman during Frost's final season in Orlando in which the team went undefeated.

I asked Jackson if he watched the Nebraska-Northwestern game and whether he was surprised Frost has struggled since leaving UCF.

"I know he's a great coach," Jackson said. "I know he was trying to be aggressive. Some things may not click as well as they did down here, up there. You know, I wish nothing but the best. I hope he wins the rest of his games."

From the week building up throughout the game it was just meh. Not sure what to pin it on but I have felt a giant shift in atmosphere under the. terry M regime.. stop calling him T Mo it’s lame and so is h

props to the anthem singer he tried to pump
Up the crowd

music seemed like it was on random shuffle from someone’s iPod 1

Props to the defense- we aren’t 90s Bucs level but we have a defense that can hold up. Need a couple more big boys to get pressure

montalvo was our only big body that moved their line. Barber was active the whole night.

Jonny Richardson is so fun to watch. The most exciting back I can remember at UCF. He can make something out of nothing. We could have run him as primary once we realized between the tackles wasn’t an option. (By 2nd quarter)

Plumlee ha a strong skill set for Gus’ offense and made a lot plays when we needed them. Dramatically falls off when he he starts scanning the field. Stacked box or not our coaches get the blame for letting JRP throw 1v1s all night. They stack the box we need move the pocket or run more outside of the tackles and misdirection. We let them off the hook big time but being so rigid

biggest miss: Gus continues to get too cute in play calling. We run the ball so we’ll then we throw on first and and second and get behind the chains. we left a lot of points on the board in the first hall

we stayed behind down and distance . several were good runs for a 1st down then two wasted incomplete passes. Stick with the run when we get momentum

For a revenge game it felt like I was watching is vs UAB in GOL years. We should never go 2.5 quarters with less than 30 yards. We have so much talent it’s not trending positive for Gus

Everyone was super pumped about how many teams might fire their coach because UCF was gonna come in and ruin their lives.

Well let's keep it positive. How many opposing coaches keep their job because we are on their schedule?

Needs more discipline. Love the energy, but too much of any one thing leaves you vulnerable to self inflicted mistakes

Definitely learning experience and area to improve

Game time!

Both night games at the bounce house:

JRP 16/34 131 Yds 0 TD / 1 INT (17 rush/83Yds)

Russell Wilson 10/30 105 Yds 1 TD / 0 INT (13 rush/35Yds)

Garbage night

**** off

Anyone see why?*

The view from field level immediately after the conclusion of Louisville's 20-14 victory at UCF.

Weather was fine. Bad bad bad.

Any nice and affordable hotels near FAU that Knights‘ fans are planning to stay at in 2 weeks?
