SI has us projected for the Cotton Bowl

Just have to get better every week. In the games that matter, should we have any when it is all said and done, all three phases have to have good days.
 
Lots of questions right now about this team. Need to get through 8-9 games before I start making ranking and bowl predictions.
Remember when Hippo couldnt figure out how to attack a 3-3-5? Malzahn needs to figure out how to attack a cover zero. Did he even roll jrp out last few games? Seems like an easy way to get your qb some time to chuck it deep

I don't want to hate on our own team, but I'd be absolutely shocked if we made it to the Cotton. Our wins are not against quality teams, and the GT dumpster fire gave our offense trouble. Defense has played with energy in a bend dont break mentality. With a fairly competent offense we'd at least have a shot.

Definitely erratic and strange 4 games.

That is not happening…. obviously a typo and they meant to write usf

That literally means we win the rest of our games and a media darling lIke coastal Carolina doesn’t go undefeated.
 
we don’t deserve that projection

but Vegas does think we have more talent than how we played …not covering is bad coaching.

Not necessarily. Win the conference with one more loss. Not saying that will happen, but if it does a NY6 is a realistic possibility.
We take 2 Ls and Costal Carolina or someone gets that bid. Just need to do our job each week. Team is not playing a complete game yet. We could run the table, we could have the wheels fall off at this point. We dont know.

Hopefully we run the table.
Charge On.

I agree, this season could be really good if we can figure out the passing game. We need to figure it out quickly if we want to beat SMU. They will most likely put up some point against us. If not, I don't see the Cotton Bowl happening.

My money would be on James Madison as they already have won @App State. Their remaining toughest conference games vs Marshall and Coastal are at home. They also, ironically have a late non-conference game against Louisville.
 
SI has always been kind to us, even after how the year's going so that's nice of them but.......

Fiesta Bowl, Glendale, Ariz. (Dec. 31, 4 or 8 p.m., ESPN)
CFP semifinalist vs. CFP semifinalist
USC vs. Oklahoma State

They have USC getting in the CFP?! After, Miami, ND, Texas, and Oregon, USC has got to be one of the most overrated teams year by year. And by btw they have a cupcake PAC12 schedule. They're padding their ranking to allow for 1 or 2 losses (either Utah or ND or knowing how overrated they are, they lose to a loser, under .500 PAC12 team) by the end of the year and still try to get in CFP or one of the NY6 bowls. Disgraceful AP rankings.

West-coast bias.

One thing the CFP gets right is no rankings before mid season. You'll never stop the AP though.

Or a fumble recovery that was returned and then fumbled again at the 1 yard line for a touchback? Or a 25 yard dime to Kobe Hudson that was dropped? Or an overthrown Johnny Richardson on a screen that would have probably been taken to the house. Yeah, there were plenty of times the cover should have happened.

All of those frustrating but the worst was the fumble return. 5 defenders allowed their receiver to go all the way back and make a play without blocking. I hope t-will chewed some azzes about that play. Divaad Wilson could have simply ran next to TMB and that play is a td.

This is true that was beyond frustrating. Drop looked gassed and didn’t see the guy, I don’t blame him. Divaad had one job and he didn’t do it, literally didn’t even need to block him, just get in the way and it’s a TD.

It was such a great hit on the sack to jar the ball loose. Was that celiscar who hit the qb?
 
I hope SI is right. I want them to be right. I know everyone here wants them to be right. I would have agreed with them before the season, but I sat through the Louisville and GA Tech game. After those offensive stagnant, boring games, my gut tells me SI is wrong. I hate my gut. I'm starting my diet today and going to the gym.

From my seat it looked like an incomplete pass, then i saw the replay and he simply crushed him so hard that Sim’s whole body went forward without the ball. An exciting play until it was wasted
Really? It was pretty clear to me that he pushed the ball forward with his arm. After contact, yes. Maybe I need a bigger TV.

I feel like this forum would've been livid if the jerseys were reversed.
 
I looked through your most recent posts. Are you always a Negative Nancy or is it just on message boards?

Nope, just call things as I see them with being realistic. And I don’t need to look at your recent posts to know you are the worst kind of fan, that your team can do no wrong and will be undefeated every year. Just shows you have a very low bar for satisfaction and a low football IQ.

Pretty sure you are known on another forum as Bull Awakening because both accounts spew the same gibberish…..and no one has ever seen both of you in the same room.

This is the stupidity that should not be ignored. Many posters know me here. I have been posting here for over 10 years. I wrote the practice reports for years.

Heck I have met over a dozen posters on Soundoff.

To say I'm another poster, especially a bulls posters, is beyond retarded. You should ban yourself for being so stupid.

You’re the idiot here, when you decide to personally attack others you should expect some backlash. I don’t know IRL if you are a nice guy or a douchebag, but you definitely are clueless poster who never talks about Xs and Os, and we all know why. You’re all about little catch phrases and “do you know who I am” diatribes.

Let me be honest…..every forum has that poster who thinks the forum is waiting with baited breath for their next amazing take, but everyone in reality laughs behind their back and considers them to be a big joke.

You are that guy here…..real UCF fact

Don't forget that he was the poster of the year on Sound Bound message board @Shark19 !! which he loves to mention every other post....and no one gives a sh*t about.

What even is SoundOff lol? And what site even awards a “poster of the year” award anyways? Lest you forget, he also used to go to practices when GOL was coach…all those practices and still doesn’t have a clue. It’s his elitist “I’m smarter than you” posts that definitely make him a douchebag in real life, 100%.

No. UCFans that have been here for a decade plus are tired of noobs coming here and complaining why isn't everything as good as our best year.

I don't attack posters who I respect or have been here for a while.

I have seen tons of you Negative Nancies come and go. It's just a matter of time before you disappear.
