30-7 until a late 4th TD made it 30-15.

It shouldn't have been. This Baylor team was not good. And I can't remember one I've enjoyed watching less.

Given our record from about 1996-2007, that's saying quite a bit.

UCF and Kansas going to put the Big 12 in the winners column today?

Depleted Roster:
UCF has lost 10 players to the transfer portal. Of those 10: 3 Starters with significant playing time, 1 Backup with playing time and 6 guys with no playing time. Depth will likely be a factor with 13 Freshman cracking the 2-deep in this game.

Meanwhile, Duke has only lost 3 players to the transfer portal. All 3 were backups with playing time.

Coordinator-less UCF:
UCF lost both OC and DC this month. DC was quickly replaced with an in-house promotion of Addison Williams. OC has yet to be filled. Gus Malzahn as the HC/OC should not be much different than any other UCF game this season. Malzahn has done the majority of the play-calling during his tenure and this game will be more of the same.

My Overall Feeling:
Malzahn and staff were probably more focused on recruiting and replacing staff than the bowl prep. These extra practices are good for the young guys and developing talent. We saw practice leaks of Timmy McClain taking some snaps and getting reps in even though he is ineligible for this game. In my mind the emphasis has been UCF working on self-improvement and the system. I don't know how much game-planning against Duke there really has been. If UCF wins this game, its icing on the cake but I don't necessarily feel like that was the goal.

X-Factor:
For UCF its the return of Divaad "Newt" Wilson. Listed as a Safety on the 2-deep today, expect him to be everywhere and often.

Go Knights! Charge On!

It's time to kickass and chew bubblegum.

Oof. C'mon, Knights.

Glad to see UCF get a beatdown of 30 - 13.

Get on the bus Gus, you loser!

KS getting a beat down by Arkansas.

Not surprised by UCF loss.

Great win for Tech over Ole Miss! Kansas also showed a lot of heart and almost came through with a amazing comeback.

Don’t think y’all have a lot of room to talk. You lost to us this year, and got beat down just the same in y’all’s bowl game, to a worse team.

Yes we got beat down but our two TE and two WR sat out to prepare for NFL. Our QB out injured and no coaches. I know you had coaches and QB Plumlee.

LoL @ Doss being like 70 and still going with the 'My team is cooler than yours' talk.

We didn’t have our DC, OC, and about half of our defense. Next excuse?

Not a good year for the B12 in bowl games

K State getting drilled

#3 TCU up 21-6 at half on #2 Michigan!!

Go Horned Frogs!
