Don't get mad at O'Leary for keep trying to score

[ruskin]

This is the big-time people. He needs style points to move UCF up in the poll. It's all on UConn coaches and players to try to stop this

 

[noeynox]

Who is mad? Is this a preemptive post?

 

[ruskin]

It is pre-emptive. I can see some of the pollyannas whining

 

[gars44]

Thank God he's taking pity on us.

Joe D took acceptation to O'Leary challenging the fumble call late in the 4th quarter. I didn't have an issue with it. He has to for style points.

I have seen no one mention it. UCF could have hung 80+ if they liked.

 

[noeynox]

Yep, if anything UCF called off the dogs early on their end.

Why would he need to run-up the score on a team that runs the score up on itself? We do the work. He benefits.

While I think JoeD has improve a bit in recent years (other than consistently failing to adhere to the Red Barber rule of giving the score at least every 3 minutes) this is another instance where he needs to take the rose colored glasses off. This is not the Yankee Conference anymore; Cochran rule (Jack, that is) does not apply in FBS especially for the No. 21 team in the country

How about the B1G then? It's not just Joe D - Similar debate is burning btwn national columnists over the tOSU/PSU game where UM challenged a spot deep into 4thQ in their blow-out. Someone is always going to overreact and whine where MOV is huge.

Boy are you having a bad year. Have you been right about anything first pass?

Don't think anyone is having a good year at 0-7

On his blog (Joe D) he called it classless.

I am all for UCF's mauling of us. Got them ahead of Louisville in the polls. As a program, we got what we deserve. We should just be glad O'Leary took Bortles out. We made him look like a Heisman candidate.

No one is mad. No one is acting mad.

UCF is behind Louisville in all of the polls. Don't know how but they are.

I guess I saw wrong but the AP Poll does have UCF ahead. Probably has no value, but so does "espn.com's power rankings".

Houston, we have a problem.

Since it doesn't matter. Who cares?

It won't matter if Houston beats Louisville, yeah.

Correct. With being 0-7 my facts get mixed up sometimes.

 

[whaler11]

It won't matter unless there is a 3 way tie. Which would pretty much require Houston to beat UCF lose to Louisville and the three of them win the rest of their games. I'd cross that bridge when you get to it.

 

[itgoeslike]

Challenging the fumble was probably not necessary. Having said that, UCF opted to play much of the second team for a good chunk of the second half. If O'Leary really wanted to pile on he could have. Although, there was probably a desire to bolster reserve experience in a game that allowed for that.

I disagree with Joe D's characterization of the challenge as classless. It was helpful. It gave me time to get some water before total dehydration set in. Picture sitting on metal bleacher type seats in that scorching sun and watching your team getting embarrassed. I was hot both over and under the collar.

I'm sorry you had to sit through that...ugh

The computers don't include margin of victory.
