Tulsa at Ucf thread

We’ve won 3 in a row and 7 of the last 8 against UCF. I like our chances.
Going to come down to penalties and turnovers I feel like. Last year we had 5 flags to their 15, and they committed 3 turnovers I believe.

We win by a last second field goal again and our kicker gets carried off the field

I am not down yet on our new kicker. He hit the long one that got taken off the board. He looks relaxed on the sidelines. Think he will be ok.
The kicker ain’t the problem.
There’s been a little bit of chirping by UCF coaches and players for months. They’ve both circled this game. We’ve had success against them lately, but that’s mostly been at home not in Orlando. Your average UCF fan will tell you the officiating last year in Tulsa was the worst reffing job they’ve endured in five years. So different place, different refs, and UCF has never lost a home opener to an unranked team in a season where they’ve won a game. They’ve played a lot, we haven’t played much. They’ve got a better QB with more tools and a better scheme to use them. Defense keeps it close and entertaining, but a win is unlikely. UCF wants this win by 40 points, but it will be:
U Can’t Finish your degree: 31
Montgomery/Zach Smith 23
However in a different more merciful universe the score might have been:
Future Hospitality Workers: 36
Malzahn/Paul Smith 52

I just saw the article posted about UCF's DL coach saying that last year's OL was the most physical, most nasty OL they went up against. Wait till they see this year's which I think is better and better coached. IMO Tyler Smith is all-AAC at OT. Paul is good. As long as Couch and Bivens are healthy we're good because I really don't think Buck can handle the pass blocking part.
The lines of scrimmage on both sides of the ball will be interesting to watch. As well as our DB's against their passing attack.
Also, I think if we can consistently run the ball on these guys, they better watch out.
I’ve really been impressed with Player. OSU couldn’t handle him one-on-one. He’s not a speed rusher like Gipson but I thought he was very effective when they moved him outside.
UCF Fan here......I believe it should be a good game. I thought Tulsa could have beat Oklahoma State. When they lost the go ahead touchdown to a penalty in the 4th quarter that really shut the door on a possible win. I do believe UCF has a better offense than OKState, so it should be interesting who outscores who. I hope everyone one comes out of the game healthy.

I wouldn't worry too much about us outscoring you unless we are efficient on our first two possessions.
Yep. In looking at the depth chart posted it looks like Jaxon Player is now listed as a DT instead of NG. He really wreaked havoc on OSU's OTs listed up on the end of the line. He was too quick and because of his strength, he couldn't be moved from the end not allowing the RB or QB to get outside. I think this is going to throw UCF off in their game plan. I think it becomes tough to run in the middle against us and our DBs are quite honestly a lot better than Georgia Tech's or ECUs. Gabriel is still capable as a QB to make some tight throws and his WRs (and TE) are really good. UCF will still move the ball and score points but I don't think they make it look as easy as they did against their previous opponents. The big issue is whether or not our offense can move the ball effectively and consistently. Considering this is year 6 and we've only really been able to do that 1 year out of those 6, I am not really confident we will be able to on Saturday and it's not due to not having the players to do so.
Our defense will hold UCF to 24 points.
Monty's offense will hold TU to 10 points.
Final score UCF 24 -- TU 10
I believe TU will score a moral victory as they will finally get a 1st down on a 3rd down call!

Moving Player to get him and Stevenson on the field at the same time is good coaching. Do what you have to to get your best guys on the field.
....and Zaven needs to be out there all 4 quarters. Please.
Too bad our OC won't take tips from our DC.
They interviewed Zaven on the news tonight. He says he fills healthy and is ready for a full game. Against osu, he said, he physically was only ready for about 40 plays due to all the covid stuff...
Get that boy some Tacklin' Fuel.
Great defense/no coach 21
Tinker toy stadium/great offense 31
Bonus: Zav sets the record for sacks of FUC QB

Didn’t do an Official Prediction Thread this week. Wasn’t feeling it.
Hope D can repeat last performance.
Hope D can repeat last performance.
I like our chances IF we can score at least 28 points.
So I got back from flying around NEOK this morning (was at KTUL around 1230-1300) and spent the last 2 hours watching old highlights of us just destroying other teams (also, beating UCF)... what's sad is a quite a few highlights were Monty's teams... I hope we can get some of that today. Anyway, I'm pumped! We can do this in spite of Monty. GO TU!
I bet Monty opens it up and throws once to a tight end tonight! He’s crazy like that!
Hi Friends - Everyone ready to melt tonight.
Year 6 and we still haven’t figured that one out
