Our 3rd down conversion defense has been great except for the Houston second half.

Yes. UCF leads the entire AAC conference in several defensive categories, of course.

8th in the nation in sacks? Chinander needs a raise

 

[HoseEmDown]

We will see how good this defense is against Tulsa, might be the best offense we face all year.

Wait! Better than Michigan and Houston?

Wait! Better than Michigan and Houston?

I don't think so. Plus their defense is one of the worst we'll face too.

 

[HoseEmDown]

Wait! Better than Michigan and Houston?

When it comes to talent no but as far as putting up yards and points the can do that. Michigan and Houston weren't at their best or healthiest when we faced them which helped us a bit in those games.

We gotta get the offense rolling against Tulsa or we'll be in trouble very quickly.

8th in the nation in sacks? Chinander needs a raise

Isn't he paid to do a good job? No one's existing contract contemplates an average or bad performance.

The better you do the more you get paid. That's capitalism.

Agree with that but I think 10 games is a rather small sample to discuss a raise, maybe after 2 or 3 seasons of strong performance.

The odds of him staying are not high unless he gets a large raise (and even then). He turned around one of the worst defenses in the nation with the same players and a DLine that mostly graduated. They'll be beating down to doors for that magic touch.

It was a joke considering we had 2 sacks as a team all last season.

 

[UCFProf]

Our sack leader left the team after 3 or 4 games last year, right?

I think that was quitter Blake Keller in 2013 or 2014. That one sticks in my mind. Very lame.

 

[UCFan07]

Wow what a difference a year can make- last year it was like pulling teeth to get turnovers. Shaq Griffin's pick 6 last season was like the highlight of the year lol
