UCF opinion of the game

Before you shoot me down as a super biased UCF fan, know this. My wife was a varsity athlete for LSU and is a die hard Tiger. I have rooted for LSU in every game since meeting her 6 years ago. I have been to games in Death Valley, including the bama game this year. Of course this is one game I will not be wearing purple or gold.
Some things to look at from the UCF side. I agree that we would rather be playing UF for the in state glory. Regardless, it’s awesome for our young program to make it to the big stage. I haven’t bought into our ‘national championship’ but I do see it as us making a statement that this current system sucks. Would we want a shot a bama?? Hell yeah, we would likely get smoked, but you gotta let us have a shot.
I was at the Peach bowl last year and seriously thought the difference would be at the O and D line. It wasn’t. We were better. Maybe more motivated but we were better.
Our D this year isn’t good, I agree. But look at our second half numbers. Randy Shannon does something at halftime that works and we shut people down. Regardless of how good their RB’s are. Memphis RB had only 6 yards second half.
I really hoping it’s a great game with a high powered offense vs an incredible defense.

Y'all's backup QB vs our backup CBs

I'd like to know why the selection committee didn't pit UCF against UF in the Peach Bowl. That would have been fun to watch, particularly if UCF beat the Gay-turds.

You have a much more reasonable take than many who have already ventured here. However, I do take issue with the above. No one HAS to GOTTA give UCF anything. UCF has to earn it. They’ve earned their 2 NY6 bowl invites. No one disputes that. They haven’t earned home and homes with P5 teams or a shot at a 4 team playoff birth yet. The way they can earn that has been discussed. They just need to do it.

What makes you think you deserve a shot with any top 10 team with that cupcake schedule y’all play each year?

Sounds like UCF is the disappointed team.
They wanted Fla
LSU about to demolish the streak

How do you not ‘buy in’ to the National Championship when it’s in the NCAA record books? Lmao.

Pretty reasonable argument. I have a good friend that's an UCF grad that lives in Stuart and the trash talk has started. Bottom line is LSU is wo 7 defensive starters for this game from the opening weekend. I think the key is our offense vs. your defense. From what I can tell online your D line averages 275 per man. Our offensive line is close to and Average of 320. That's just too much. If I were Coach O I would simply run run run the first half and by the end of the 3rd q UCF would be toast. They will try to get cute with our O and probably screw up the game rather than just win. Coach O lost about $250-400k losing to TAM. $100k bonus for 10 regular season wins, and I think $150k for coach of the year SEC and maybe another $150k for National Coach of the Year. He did sneak in $150K for a NY6 bowl game that it could have cost him.
As far as UCF being National Champions, the best yard stick would be go look at Utah the three years before they joined the Pac12 and the three years since. They were winning 10+ games every year before and are averaging 7 or 8 now. And the SEC is way tougher. You can't get beat up 12 weeks a year and sustain such a winning record. The playoff needs to be 8, that settles all arguments. Even 6 would be better, add two wild card teams, that's just one game. The smaller divisions do it every year. Geaux Tigers.

I would have found it interesting to see a complete UCF offense against a complete LSU defense.
Instead, UCF lost its QB and LSU is playing without 5 defensive starters. Whatever happens in this game, it's not going to be representative of the teams relative strengths during the regular season.
That's the truth. You won't get LSU's best. We won't get UCF's best.

my only issue with UCF is your nonconference schedule. in your situation, to deserve more national respect, you must hit the road against big name schools. it's what FSU did when Bowden first arrived and he beat enough of them he was able to bring their program up to national prominence.
that being said, I think y'all have a hell of a team and may very well beat LSU.

UCF winning streak comes to an abrupt halt.

LSU has played against some of the best run defenses in the country this year. Bama, State, UGA, Miami, A&M etc. I don't think the coaches are very worried about trying to run against UCF's third tier defense.
