I hope CUSA is at least 3-1 in bowls. UCF, ECU and Tulsa should have wins.

I wasn't aware you could play football without tackling and blocking. Maybe that is how they do it at Tulane, probably why they are horrible.

Good year for the Knights. Too bad this conf nonsense has overshadowed everything else.

Be nice! Though admittedly that was an obvious statement.

UCF wins easy... Now Ball St. knows why we weren't excited for this match up.

MACtion retraction (0-2 in MAC bowls so far)

Obviously some do it better than others. UCF excels in it, rather than wining it around like other good teams.
And somehow, we managed to go 5-1 against Cincy in CUSA, and managed to avoid a near 50 year bowl drought.

Aw cute, keep living in the past.

Tulane should be getting better soon.
It's been a bad 6 years since Katrina.

Loved being there. That was my first bowl game, and I am glad it was against Ball State, a program that runs itself with dignity. Did not see any BSU players take cheap shots.

2-0 in the last two bowl games! That was a great disciplined football game. Likin the future with a few key players as underclassmen.

good win. i was hoping the knights would layer on another 20 or so.

Congrats UCF

Just saw the highlights... Loved Bortles' TD run where he plowed through the defenders.

Congrats Knights!

Yeah, Blake's "bowled over" TD run made ESPN's Top 10 Plays.

Good solid win by UCF over a pretty good MAC Team (a conf that was better than CUSA this year).

While this UCF Senior Class set a class record for most wins in UCF history, the "youngsters" on UCF's squad, like Soph QB Bortles, Freshman WR Perriman, Soph WR Hall, Soph RB Storm Johnson, Freshman DL Niles, etc....the future looks bright for UCF.

Here's ESPN's highlights from last night's game:

UCF impressed me when we played them earlier in the year. Talented team and Bortles is a very good player. I think you guys have a shot to make noise in the Big East next year, but the issue is will you win the appeal or have to serve a bowl ban in the last year of AQ status?

No clue what the NCAA will decide...odds are against UCF but all the players on the team were 100% behind UCF's efforts to appeal this one sanction (UCF is not appealing the other 10-15 plus sanctions, most were against the basketball team).

UCF has a much more difficult schedule next year (at Louisville, at Cincinnati, SOUTH CAROLINA, RUTGERS, USF, UCONN, HOUSTON, all at home), so not sure even if UCF were eligible in 2013, that a BCS Bowl would be in reach.
