No development at the WR position

Only WR we have is Kobe Hudson. Shut down Kobe and our run game and it is game over. Teams in the Big 12 will look at this tape and game plan like this over and over. When we had Milton at QB we had at least 6 WR's and you could not key on any of them. We have Kobe and Pittman at TE. KJ does not target anyone else. Does Whittemore even have a catch this year? One dimension teams are not championship football teams.

COLUMN: Like Gus, I’ve got no answers for you

We’ve reached the halfway point of the 2024 football season for the UCF Knights. What once seemed like a promising season has, depending on your perspective, turned into a struggle to stay relevant in the conference. At worst, it could be considered a lost season where even bowl eligibility might be out of reach. Personally, I lean towards the latter view, but I’m a pessimist when it comes to UCF Football. It’s not out of lack of love for the Knights. On the contrary, my happiness is directly linked with their success. So, when they lose, I take it harder than most. So far this season, I haven’t seen anything that convinces me the Knights can secure three more wins, especially given the tougher half of the schedule ahead.

NEW: UCF Football has another tough test this week with Iowa State.

The UCF Knights dropped their third game in a row this past weekend against conference foe Cincinnati.

Unfortunately for Gus Malzahn and the Knights, things don't get any easier as they head to Ames to battle the Top 10 ranked Iowa State Cyclones.

Malzahn is still non committal about his starting QB, but whoever it is must lead UCF to some red zone scores if the Knights stand a chance.

AU Fan here

Gus is still the same Gus he has been since 2013. He is allergic to change. While from a far it seems he has upgraded the personal of UCF on the field is the same as it was while he was at AU and what I thought would happen when UCF hired Gus.

UCF is going to be in a great spot for the next coach. I had a great time with UCF fans at the peach bowl and wish yall nothing but the best.

The Athletic: 15 Months after placing first sports bet, man loses $110,000

Crazy story how legalized sports betting in AZ helped turn this man into an addict, who averaged 11 bets per day and took out personal loans and home equity loans to cover his losses.

Don't wait till you hit rock bottom to get help.

'I literally can't stop.'
The decent of a modern sports fan
