Yeah, the same team he left us for in the Winter portal, big loss for us.

I was going through the Winter and Spring portal a couple of weeks ago, and there were 7 guys I didn't think we could afford to lose (but did). Now that number is 8. The bad news is there isn't a single guy we got in return that I'm excited about. This looks to be a rough year....

No. 1 Gus Malzahn
No. 2 Herb Hand
No. 3 Tim Harris Jr
No. 4 Randy Pittman
No. 5 Adrian Medley
No. 6 Andrew Harris
No. 7 Lee Hunter
No. 8 Chasen Johnson
 
And now Ced Hawkins has become our 2nd ex-player of the Spring portal to transfer to the usif community college...what a depressing moment that must be for these guys.

Next year was always going to be bad. With or without Gus. At least in 2 years we have something to look forward to.
I was hoping for more (a bowl game vs IDK....Arkansas St LOL).

I think we will be OK on defense, brought in a bunch of O Linemen with a coach I trust can find the optimum mix of guys, and will be good at RB. And a better kicker....

It is just QB and WR holding us back I think.

I think Jackson can get us 6 wins. HOPE
 
Johnson is very young, and he should have never been needed on the field last year. Maybe he turns into a good player a few years down the road.

But his tape is pretty damn rough. Again, wasn’t ready as a true freshmen. But for me, he was the second worst DB in one of the worst DB rooms in the country. A loss, but I don’t think it’s a huge loss. Hard to win with kids like that, focused on their next move all the time.

Again I’m going state how it boggles the mind that we had one of the worst DB rooms in the country despite having two NFL CBs (one of whom was drafted)
 
"boggles the mind that we had one of the worst DB rooms"

Don't forget ole Teddy Roofie got fired midseason.

"UCF has fired defensive coordinator Ted Roof amid a five-game losing streak in which the Knights have allowed 37 points or more three times." -Oct 2024
