UCF prediction thread

[Carl Spackler]

Yeah, but I can't fully guarantee the timing. Ergo: prediction.

You just really love to argue with me don't you? No - it's a plan. How the hell can you guarantee timing? You're setting yourself up for failure. Don't do that. I have faith in you.

UCF 48, Huskies 27. We cover the spread, but moral victories are for losers!

All I am hearing is Milton this, Milton that. I just hope he is picking his ass up off the field after every throw. Make him pay tonight. Nothing free. Hitting is allowed.

Yup - just noted this. I hope he is checking for his teeth.

The 3-3 stack defense, I think is a very good choice for strategic planning for UCONN. The most difficult positions to recruit are lineman, and moreso DL's. and UCONN has a track record of being able to produce NFL quality DB's for which to use as a recruiting pitch to get a stable full of those guys. The LB's need to be smart and fast though to switch between run first or pass first defending.

Everybody talking about linebackers and stuff - but me - I'm more interesting to see these DL's play. For this D to be successful you need DL's that are going to be place holders in a scrum in at the LOS and not get moved.

UConn 23 - UCF 37

Pups come out strong but Milton breaks down the secondary in the 2nd half. We cover the spread and come out with some positives on both sides of the ball.

This matches my vibe about tonight. Youth exposed on D in second half but lots of long-term postitives. 41-31 UCF.

 

[Scrutineer]

I like your way of thinking. UConn needs to get it's receivers in the open field tonight and make their defense get tired on a steamy night.

UCF . 30

Uhhhh, I think UCf may have the edge if it's steamy. Believe me, living in coastal South Carolina I know steamy.

 

[Carl Spackler]

It's always better for us to play late season home games against the Florida and Texas teams. Edsall knows this - only so much you can do with scheduling though. Not going to get the ideal schedule every year.

 

[Scrutineer]

I have high expectations for our offense as they are a veteran group with a lot of talent. At minimum I expect 4 touchdowns tonight.

As for the defense, all I ask is that we not be vanilla this year, bring the kitchen sink early and often, be aggressive and show multiple fronts. Swing for the fences and hope you connect.

I just hope its still a ball game going into the 4th quarter, 42 - 31 UCF.

It's not completely out of the question that UCF is looking past us and lays an egg with their new coach.

You may have a point. South Carolina St. will do that to a team.

Edsall puts Heupel on the hot seat day one. UConn 34 UCF 31. Randy Edsall, getting coaches fired for losing to UConn since 1999.

 

[RedStickHusky]

UConn 6 UCF 3 in a freak blizzard. No trophy is awarded.

 

[huskysupporter]

Wish weather was bad.

UCF 43 UCONN 17

 

[LBird33]

I hate to do this ....
UCF 47. Uconn 10

 

[tduconn]

An experienced upper class dominated team within a very good program vs an inexperienced lower class team within a not so good tradition that will rely on a lot of players with high school experience.

Who really thinks this will be close?

Heart says "UC win"

Afraid to express reality and offer a final score.

 

[jdb50]

34-20 UCF. Milton is not easy to get a hand on let alone a hit. Hoping we can get some drives to deny him opportunities.

 

[DoctorWho85]

38-31 UCONN.

I expect them to trade scores for a quarter and a half and then UCF overwhelmes them in the second half.

47-20 or so.

 

[uconnphil2016]

I’ll be happy as long as they score under 45 and we can get at least 24

 

[Huskyforlife]

UCF- A very large number
UConn- 14

My heart says UConn 27 UCF 26
My brain says UCF 38 UConn 21

 

[uconnphil2016]

My heart says UConn 28 UCF 27

My head says UConn 62 UCF 0

Last minute FG wins it.
