Quick Hits:
- UCF still looking for its first Big 12 win
- Oklahoma is the only undefeated Big 12 team remaining
- Oklahoma's QB Dillon Gabriel was once a UCF QB

this may be overly obvious, but don't let them get up a couple of scores on you, they're really tough to come from behind against.

The longer you hang in there, the better your chance to pull out a win becomes.

(I know, I know, easier said than done)

Good luck. Dillon Gabriel is on another level right now.

Very unlikely UCF wins this one. I expect a 14+ win by OK. We would need the bi week to have been very productive health and Mental health wise.

Spread is 19.5 Way to low. Team better come out actually ready to play. Our DC needs to go back to school to learn how to scheme.

Good luck Knights. Norman is no joke.

I don't see this ending well but I hope UCF pulls it off somehow.

I’m not very hopeful they can pull it off, but Gus loses games he shouldn’t maybe he can win one he shouldn’t.

I'm trying to get excited for this game but I just feel like we are going to get stomped.

2M Viewers on ABC will witness, Heisman Contender Dillon Gabriel hand the ball off to the RB for an easy victory. OU can throw it into Cruise Control about half way through the 1st Qtr. UCF Twitter will be lamenting the decision to hire Gus instead of Jeff Lebby in 2021.

I'm rooting for the Sooners in this one. Go OU.

I think we've got to keep the ball out of Dillon Gabriel's hands as much as possible. We have no margin for error for penalties or ridiculous turnovers.

I might be a sicko but I'm more worried about another Big 12 teams rushing the ball down our throat than Dillon Gabriel's passing game.

UCF has the 11th worst rush defense in the country. No answer for that.

At least with Gabriel, Malzahn had a whole year of working with him 1 on 1 to know the holes in his game.

Time for the newbies to rise up and make a statement!

UCF over OU
UH over UT

Wouldn't that be special?

I don't know about your status as a sicko or non-sicko, ha ha, but you're right to be concerned about our run defense. To be clearer, I should have said that we need to keep the ball away from OU's offense, period, as much as possible.

Hell to the yeah, that would be awesome, but like I said, in UCF's case (and probably UH's as well), we need to play perfect football. We are capable of playing better than we have been. It's a question of when will we put together a full 60 minutes. Will we do it this week in Norman? Against Oklahoma State? Cincinnati? West Virginia? Texas Tech? Houston at the very end of the season? The team needs to get something positive going on a consistent basis.

Norman is a tough place to play. I absolutely don't expect it, but I feel like it would be a very UCF thing for them to go in and take care of business in a game where they supposedly have no business winning one at all.

UCF has a 5.7% chance of winning and UH has a 6.4% chance of winning, so the chances of both happening are 0.3% or 1/274. We would be witnessing something spectacular if that happened today.

Just stay close UCF.

Oh well, this one is could get ugly.

1st Qtr Grades:
Offense: F
Defense: B
Special Teams: F

1 First-Down and 4 Three-&-Outs on Offense is a rough start.

Thank God the OU kicker sucks.

Unsportsmanlike in the red zone. I like it Ref! More of this, please!
