2018 schedule

[Stormthecourt?]

So unless this site has our OOC games incorrect (which I don’t think they do), we could have 11 straight games scheduled between UNC and USF. Unless as pointed out below we play a conference game on Sept 1st or Sept 8th, which hasn’t happened in 10 years.

I see 10 dates where they aren't playing. What are you talking about?
Seriously though, i'm sure one of those TBAs will be a bye.

http://www.fbschedules.com/ncaa-18/2018-ucf-knights-football-schedule.php

10 dates and only 9 teams to fill them. Conference hasn’t made the schedule and tv hasn’t had input so those days may change too.

SC State will most likely be the first game September 1st. So we’re gonna play a conference game on Sept 9th?
We haven’t done that since 2008 when we played USF the second week of the season

the rumor mill says UCF could be visiting UConn in September. If thats the case, no trips up north in November and one less 90 degree game at Spectrum Stadium in Sept.

Original Memphis game this year was slated for the 8th.

 

[firm_bizzle]

SC State or a kickoff game will be Sept 1. @Memphis will be Sept 8

If FAU beats Oklahoma to start the season then our game will be huge

 

[SiberianKnightmare]

FAU is going to lose by 3 touchdowns at best. He's worked wonders down there, but he didn't have the talent UCF had when Frost got here and then recruited here.

They'll be an improvement over what they were when they got slaughtered by Wisconsin early.
That said Baker Mayfield will be gone right? I know Mayfield had to sit a couple of times so if the backup is now the new starting QB there shouldnt be a lack of experience

 

[Mikesi]

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a close game or an upset

 

[LemmyKilmister]

I bet the Sept 1 game gets moved to Aug 30 for Thursday night. That is Labor Day weekend.

 

[Happy Hands]

If Bama want a to be #1 next year they will come to Orlando. Otherwise, they will not get my vote for "the end of year typical P5 bullshit tournament."

I agree. Kind of hoping the first game is against SC ST so we can get the kinks out of the new offense and defense

 

[407Knight89]

I believe that Marc Daniels confirmed that our first game is opening at UConn.

This is a win-win for UCF and the fanbase. The average temperature in Skorrs is 75 degrees in Sept which is a positive for a road team from the south.
The fans don't have to complain about sitting in a stadium complaining about surviving in 90 degree weather and sitting on steaming aluminum benches.

This is the best news that I've heard all day! Temple and Cincinnati at home. No cold weather games unless there is freak weather in North Carolina.

Isn’t that a lot of pressure (CONFLict trophy) for the first game of the season*?

Or a hurricane?

We can work out the kinks against UCONN just the same

Also would eliminate the possibility of us having a Thursday night Labor Day Weekend game. If @ UConn for our first game is true, then SC State may be on 9/8 which would mean we have 3 home games in September.

The closer to October the better.

I think the AAC is going to help us out as much as possible with a Thursday night game before USF and a strategic bye week to keep us fresh.

and Navy and SMU at home. Both of those locations can get pretty cold also.

I hope they do. They set it up for USF this past season. I thought the refs would be on UCF's side once the team got to around 9-0 but it seems like more calls went against us

That's not a thing.

 

[DrPhillipsKnight]

That's not a thing.

Tel that to Diaco who got fired for losing it

 

[Wings0fred]

So starting off with road games at UConn and Memphis? Is that correct?

If so, tough way to start the Hype era.

a tough way to start would be at Bama which fans wanted. At UConn or a Memphis team who lost their QB and top WR and who UCF owns 11-0 since moving to FBS should not be tough.

This. Let’s stop being a bunch of pussies. Bring it on!! We can take any challenge. We are the defending national champions!!!

As long as it’s not 5 pm on a Thursday or 12 pm noon, I’m goid with it.

 

[DrPhillipsKnight]

Am I the only one looking forward to attending the 2019 @FAU game?

 

[Mikesi]

No. That game in nice South Florida could very likely involve 2 ranked teams with great offenses. Always enjoy away games and going down there. Long way off though

Wait a minute, if FAU plays in South Florida.. then... aw nevermind

Kiffin has already rented out Bar Louie for night before the game now that Frost is gone.

Georgia Southern has changed their season opener on Sept. 1 from Presbyterian to South Carolina State. Not sure if UCF will still host SC State in 2018, but if they do it won't be the season-opener.
