WE are progressing as a program, these kids care, and they are fighting to the death. That's a start. The coaches are adding talented depth right now in recruiting.

A lot of the team on the field returns next year. Bigger stronger faster.

In the words of Mike Houston "It's going to change". Notice is served to our conference mates. We're getting ready to be a whole lot better which only makes our league stronger!!!!

It will take more than one recruiting cycle, but yes, I like the direction we are going in.

After watching last nights game, I come away thinking ECU is going to be really good in the next couple years with all of these good young players and the way they are being coached. The future looks great.

Oh please just stop. ECU played a very good game against superior talent. They made a game of it when many other teams would have rolled over in the fetal position down (35-3). Congratulations on a playing a competitive game on the road.
It still doesn’t mean UCF fans should be happy about how we played the second half, however we were down two of our best offensive lineman which is kind of a big deal in our fast paced offense. Nonetheless it looks like ECU might be turning the corner on the way to building their program back to respectability, for that and your AD’s coaching hire I humbly say congratulations!

We are also down to 65 or so players on scholarship currently, so we have no depth at all. Even with that it looks like a huge culture change is taking place in the program.

Good luck the rest of the way.

The Pirates did not roll over and play dead after the nuking we took in the first half. That alone is not something we’ve not seen in the three years prior.

UCF clearly has more talent but we are not that far off. We need more speed at receiver and our Oline needs a lot of work. Our defense just needs a bit more depth and development.

We finally have another staff who knows what they’re doing. The process is going to take two-three years but after that, watch out.

We may not go bowling this year but hopefully we can ruin a team’s season along the way.

They definitely didn't play dead, but they weren't exactly playing to win. Kicking those FGs instead of going for a TD and a couple of fourth downs where they punted I thought ECU avoiding the blowout more than trying to win. If they converted a couple of those it could have been a lot closer and who knows what would have happened.

Great job though I hope you guys keep improving, I miss playing a good ECU team.

... and I have missed having good ECU teams LOL.

There’s a difference in light natured ironic “trash talk” and trashing another team because you’re mad that your team played ******.

Josh Heupel is going to turn UCF into a stuck in the mud 8 win Program if he stays long term & it's going to be frustrating as hell as a fan. He sucks. Never trust a former stud D1 QB who lets himself go in his 30s

You can tell this from his 17-3 record?

I don't think we ever went to the bench heavy, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah I'm pretty sure UCF kept their starters in. That comment is someone who either didn't watch the game or does not know their own players.

UCF went into slow down, but kept their healthy starters in until late in the 4th.

QB Darriel Mack and RB Bentavious Thompson both scored TDs and neither were starters.

Saying that starters were out is not a dig at ECU. Holy cow. People need to stop being so sensitive.

They may not have been starters, but Mack played in the last 3 quarters.
Thompson played in every quarter.

Good win for UCF, but not impressive at home. I still think Mack should be the starter.
