Short Version: Everyone needs to chill on Plumlee
I love Milton. He will forever go down as the first, undefeated GOAT of UCF QBs. But as the endless Plumlee criticism doesn't seem to end, just like I defended Keene last year -- by comparing him to Milton of 2016 -- I think everyone has to remember Milton during the first half of the 2018 Peach Bowl.
Lots of poor throws, utterly missed, wide open receivers, and so many other issues. As Frost said at the half (paraphrased), "Needed to calm down." A late TD in the first half really made the difference too. And then we had the second-half. I'm honestly tired of the expectations of perfection.
Especially out of our transfers in their first few games running into their first few challenges. It takes years to mesh with the rest of the team. Plumlee is improving and getting better.
