I understand it is perfect game day weather in Tulsa.

Black and blue uniforms for TU. Should be appropriate based on how UCF should feel afterward.

UCF has given up. Their effort is horrible. With the athletes they have there is no reason they should be this bad. 16.5 may have not been enough pts for Vegas to favor us by.

Good drive by Dane and some nice plays by more than one player to keep it alive. Continuous improvement.

I don't know about the targeting call there. Stadium board made it look like he used his shoulder. TV guys say anything or did we get a bad angle in stadium?

TV guys say they don't know where else he was supposed to tackle him but don't disagree that it meets the definition.

Two mistakes so far...not going for it on 4th & half yard at midfield...then getting an INT and losing it to give UCF great field position.

Now UCF is in this game at 7-3 and has some momentum. They are still bitter about last game in Tulsa where they say whistle blew on punt, but Watts picked it up and ran it back. The players and their coach all talked about it this week in the media.

TU cannot afford to let UCF stay in this game.

That was really good coverage and a nice catch by D Will there. He really needs to just take what he could there.

We just need to kick the ball OB every time if Sooer can't get it to the end zone on kick offs. We're giving them the ball at the 35 every time anyway.

Remember after the first games people were all "let's not go overboard on Matt Linscott yet"?

Linscott can play. Kerwin Thomas is actually pretty good and a decent tackler for a slight CB. Our DEs are just destroying UCF's T's. Actually UCFs interior linemen on both sides either don't care or are just horrible.

We need to score and kill their will

Great blocks by Wright and Wallace on the TD. Our Oline is doing a good job now. Great running by Warren. Showing off his speed and moves.

An observation about watching on ESPN news - the crowd audio is several seconds behind the video. This makes it sound like the band is still playing when a play is going on. The crowd response also lags several seconds behind a play as well.

Signs of a bad/poorly coached team: Last minute completion along the sideline and your team only has 1 TO left, you cut the ball back in bounds to gain 1 extra yard and get tackled inbounds to keep the clock going. You huddle and waste 22 seconds before calling TO. Glad it's UCF playing like that

UCF= DREADFUL. We were bad the last 2 years but we could at least do something that resembled football 1-2x a game

One of the worst coached teams I've seen. I have to believe that UCF has some talent (they

Yeah...players and coaches look completely lost out there. I have a hard time believing their talent level is this low.

I've never seen this before on any other ESPNnews telecast. It's really weird and distracting.

Tough way to start second half. Should be 31-3, but instead its 24-10 after UCF just powers down for a TD, their first time to score a 3rd quarter TD all season. Significant momentum swing...giving them hope. Tulsa really need points on the next drive.

You can't fumble when you're down on the ground. That's ********.

Yikes. TU could be in trouble if UCF scores off fumble recovery. Let's see if call stands.
