ive Seen conflicting info about the FAU game being on Saturday. I believe FAUs schedule lists it as Saturday the 22nd.

Wasn't that supposed to be our only chance of getting Gameday to do our game? ESPN made sure they didn't have to do that.

 

[2DogKnight]

Jan 7 - Alabama. Like it!

 

[Stormthecourt?]

A lot of rest before the Navy game

 

[ucfversusbcs]

Thu., Aug. 30 -- at UConn*

Weather will be in the high 70s instead of the low 30s.

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

A lot of rest before the Navy game

More rest for the Temple game. Should have reversed those 2 games.

 

[thespiritof1976]

My prediction: 9-3. Yeah, yeah. I'd love 12-0 too. However, they way the games are structured, I think we got a damn good chance to at the very least play in the conference title game and get a return trip to the Peach Bowl.

10-3 with the AAC might be good enough for the G5 access bowl.

Memphis and USF have new QBs. Plus if we have more than 1 loss we aren't getting a good bowl. 2 Losses in AAC and we don't win our side.

 

[KnightVision82]

If this team continues to improve and it should we would expect 0, 1 or 2 losses max.
(# loses depends on leadership on this new group / a lot of carry over)

I liked the way Heupel spoke of transitioning in the OS interview

What we need for a big season: 1) Improved OL play (running game); 2) Good pressure on the opposing QB (don't care about formation 3-4 / 4-3) and 3) another CB to step up and play like Hughes did last year.

With no major injuries, expect everything else to continue to do well.

North Carolina was a three win team last year. I'd be more nervous of Pittsburgh who should have some confidence after beating Miami to close out the season.
then again Syracuse beat Clemson last year too...didnt do much.
Memphis will have a new QB. Temple could be improved. South Florida is implementing some new offensive players too.

FAU will pose big issues depending on who returns.

In case you have not heard... We don't lose to Memphis...11 in a row. Look for 12

 

[firm_bizzle]

A lot of rest before the Navy game

And Cincinnati at home after.

 

[KnightVision82]

And Cincinnati at home after.

Expect Navy to play us with attitude like we're ISIS this season.

Allah Akbar then.

FAU's QB quit also

 

[thespiritof1976]

With all that usf lost in the off season you think we wont beat them?!

FWIW, I hope I am wrong. I just have a bad feeling about that game for whatever reason.

 

[JagKnight5]

FAU's QB quit also

While this is true, he quit because he was going to get beat out. Former highly touted 4* FSU recruit DeAndre Johnson is there (he got kicked out of FSU for punching a girl at a bar) after playing at D2. 4* Oklahoma transfer Chris Robison is there too. Driskel saw the writing on the wall. They also have that RB that ran for almost 2k yards last year. FAU might be our toughest game.

 

[Poolside Knight]

With all that usf lost in the off season you think we wont beat them?!

the roster outlook seems to never really matter, USF always plays UCF at an insane energy level which I wish our guys would match. The closest thing to domination from UCF against them was 16-0 and that was still 1 freak play away from being a 1 possession game. There haven't been any relaxing 4th quarters against them. It would be nice to have a game against them where UCF is up 21 with less than 5 minutes left

 

[hemightbejeremy]

UCF will beat USF in the last couple minutes. It will be good ole Charley with a dear in headlights look part 3.

good point. THX

 

[MckenzieMilton10]

Memphis & Usf lost their QB's. As long as you can stop Memphis run I think thats an easy game. I think this year will be UCF's largest MOV over USF.

Our three hardest games will be fau, smu & temple. You heard it here first.

DJ did not go D2. He went to Last Chance U, on Netflix, a CC in Mississippi and was at FAU last year. He had medical problems and probably a non factor this upcoming year.

 

[SublimeKnight]

UCF will be USF's 8th straight game week. UCF will have had a bye 4 weeks before. So the shoe is a bit on the other foot this year.

 

[UCFBS]

4 straight home games to finish the season ... hopefully a 5th in the conference 'ship.

We will slaughter FAU.

Boom!
*drum noise*

 

[Psycho Jim]

Since we are playing them in West Florida, I suggest a Pirate themed uniform and since we will bring more fans than they will, it will feel like a home game with a late Halloween feel.

 

[lawknight]

I think our hardest games are UNC (flashed talent last year), Navy , Houston (If we play in championship) and possible FAU (they have a Jekyll and Hyde thing in big games). That said barring injury (especially if MM) we should have 1-2 losses max.

I think Cindy may give us some problems. Fickle has been recruiting well thereand they’ve always had talent. I expect them to be much improved this year.

She always gives me problems.

Is Fickle her pimp?

 

[goodknightfl]

Jan 7 - Alabama. Like it!

It wont be AL. We will be the 4 th seed, they will be left home with 1 loss claiming another National championship.

 

[Mikesi]

Former highly touted 4* FSU recruit DeAndre Johnson is there (he got kicked out of FSU for punching a girl at a bar

Wow. FAU picked up that thug

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

Wow. FAU picked up that thug

They got a few clowns from Last Chance U. He played first game last year but had to go to hospital and don’t think he played again.

 

[ucfmba2k2]

Fickle is Einhorn?
