UCFs offense like the Gang that Can't shoot straight

 

[TulsaAM]

Looking much better across the O-Line the past four drives

 

[TulsaAM]

Well, that sucks... blocked FG...

 

[HuffyCane]

We are starting to adjust to their quickness. It will be ok. But we need to convert in the red

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Can y'all hear the TU chants at the game? Pretty cool!

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Our defense is a little possessed.

 

[TUGrad06]

stupid play by wilson.

 

[HuffyCane]

That hurts

 

[BigRedStevo]

Targeting? Really? Softest targeting call I've ever seen.

 

[URedskin54]

Dumb play, but targeting is the worst rule in college football

 

[TU Sepp]

There was the exact targeting call against Texas in their game against Kansas.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Hated that it happened but it was a good call.

It was legit. Have to be smarter to not hit the QB late like that

And put the crown of your helmet on his chin.

 

[Tulsa76]

I hope we don't go to a crap bowl with a 7-5 record! We are snake bit this year.

Not looking good for Charlie Strong and our former coaches.

UCF is horrible and TU is playing to their level. Please quit throwing 2 yard passes and let's pick it up in the 2nd half.

 

[TUGrad06]

Dane is doing worse than a Freshman 5'11" 170 lb QB...C'mon man.

Looks like Dane is going to throw for 200 in the second half now

 

[TUGrad06]

Eh. Win out or lose out, we still go to a crappy bowl. Not putting away Navy and Houston (yes the refs played a large part), took away the magic. 7 wins vs 9 wins doesn't really matter as far as a bowl is concerned. We'll be 3rd in our division. Disappointed. Hope Monty stays...but I doubt it.

 

[BigRedStevo]

I agree, but that still doesn't mean I have to be rational about it.

 

[HuffyCane]

Losing the last two might push into a crappier bowl, but winning both won't help anything except provide excuses to those who say we should have lost to Houston and Navy anyway.

I do see a path to any other bowl except the one in Miami

Doesn't take much to get him to come out of the criticize Dane closet.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Offense needs to score at TD to start 2nd half or this game will stay ugly until the end!

 

[TUGrad06]

Doesn't take much to get him to come out of the criticize Dane closet.

Sub 50% rate for 58 yards and a pick 6? I mean...that's terrible. I know he can turn it around. But that is still terrible.

 

[TU_BLA]

Actually there's a way into a couple of the Big XII bowls they may not fill. Texas isn't eligible yet, Tech is not going to be eligible and neither are Kansas and Iowa State. Rumor is Baylor may not accept a bowl bi because they have absolutely mailed their season in. That would leave only 5 teams to fill 8 slots. And if OU somehow slides in the playoff that opens up another spot.

 

[BigRedStevo]

Camera crew must still be taking their halftime break...

 

[Gold*]

What's the deal on Minter?

 

[TulsaAM]

Dane is more off tonight than usual. He needs a high volume of passes to be effective. If he was a more accurate passer with his quick release he would be an NFL prospect.

 

[TU1NNJ]

He is an accurate passer but sometimes he trusts it too much and tries to squeeze it in to tight coverage or cross field like the pick 6.

 

[cmullinsTU]

No idea but we are missing his blocking.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Big break!

 

[URedskin54]

So their player grabs our guy's arm so he can't get to the ball and the color guy thinks it's a good no call? huh

 

[TU Sepp]

This is starting to look ugly for TU...

What the heck on the muffed punt into TU hands!!!!

 

[TulsaAM]

He is an accurate passer but sometimes he trusts it too much and tries to squeeze it in to tight coverage or cross field like the pick 6.

Sorry, he isn't an accurate passer. Or should I say a consistently accurate passer, he gets on streaks...

 

[TulsaAM]

There we go.... that was an accurate pass!

 

[TU1NNJ]

TD

 

[TU Sepp]

Great pass from Evans to Atkinson for a td....

TU up 21 - 14

 

[TUGrad06]

There we go. Good pass and catch!

UCF is only rushing 4 and keeping 1 LB in the box so 7 in coverage against 4. Their DBs are pretty good. We've had at least 4-5 drops by my count as well. Yeah, he missed the read on the pick 6.

My question is why can't we block their DL? Our running game has been so so at best tonight. If we can get up 2 scores it might be too much for UCF to come back from.
