O'Leary just cost the AAC a valuable win - The Knight Time - 08-30-2014 11:03 AM
His awful assessment at QB led us to starting the wrong QB, and playing him, for an entire half of football.
If he starts, this game is not in question. It's a runaway win for UCF.
O'Leary must be held accountable.

Yeah, fire the coach who led your team to a 12-1 season and a BCS win.... Still a long season and plenty left to achieve.

Last year we officially named Matt Floyd as our starter, and we all saw what happened. i'm not sure how coaches can so mis-ID the best QB during practice... it's what they get paid big bucks to do. Damn shame.

It's unfortunate, but it wasn't really in his control.
It's the entire staff involved that share equal blame for this. He gave our presumed starter a chance to make things happen, and it just didn't pan out. Had Pete thrown better, might be a different story. It's why we play the game...
I'm glad Holman is starting, though, after seeing DiNovo's shoddy performance. I think we will run away with the conference title still, but we'll need every win we can get to get to the Access Bowl.

Stop. Some guys just look good in practice. Ask ECU fans about Rio Johnson.

How can u start a guy that is that bad. Our defense is very capable. No way he "looked good" in practice unless u let him. He was atrocious in the spring game.... not eh, not bad....atrocious and he was again today.....terrible, terrible, terrible

Guess we didn't miss much when he chose to go to UCF

Dinovo was the safe pick, only because he was good at handing the ball and snapping the ball. aka a weak game manager.

Lol. No thanks we have had to let go of a few already
RE: O'Leary just cost the AAC a valuable win - ArmoredUpKnight - 08-30-2014 11:30 AM
Starting RB injured, wrong QB started, replaced 3 OL from last season...
First game of the season had some kinks in a rebuilding offense. Shocker
We have a bye week then Mizzou. We know who the starting QB is now and Stanback should be back.

Do you really think that you'll run away with the conference title? You must be sniffing glue this afternoon.
No one will run away with out conference... there's too much parity in the league.

Come on guys!!! Why such the harsh reactions to one game??? UCF will be fine and will be in contention to win the conference...don't get carried away, friends!!! ...
RE: O'Leary just cost the AAC a valuable win - MedKnight - 08-30-2014 11:49 AM
You can't entirely blame O'leary.
Holman looked so good in the game, but man you gotta separate yourself from the competition in practice...

This.

I hate to see us lose, but asking for O'Leary's head after one game may be a little bit of an overreaction. Only a year or two ago, losing like that to PSU would have been considered a moral victory by most of our fans (although I personally don't believe in Moral victories). So relax guys. We've found our starting QB now, Stanback and Hall will be back for Mizzou. I think we'll be just fine moving forward.

I think Pete started because Holman is a little cocky and because he forgot plays and he missed reads. That is from folks in the program. He is a gamer and is a dual threat. I rewatched the second half and he is a lot like Blake in stature and strengths. I do think he has a stronger arm than Blake did at the time though. I think we will be fine. I knew that Pete might be a problem after some lukewarm responses I got about him.

Just an FYI for those whom don't seem to know; There's a major difference between practice and playing in the game live in front of a large crowd. Many players are champions in practice but diminish under the lights and game time pressure.
It's that old "Fight or Flight" instinct. You're either a fighter or a runner. You don't get to chose. The only true fix for it is training and experience. You can train all your life for something and still fail when the real thing happens. Police Officers experience this all the time.
It comes from faulty training. You have to practice as if it's the real thing or you won't perform the way you want when the real thing comes along. That's it in a nut shell.
