I like how Coach always gives full and thoughtful answers to anything he’s asked.

We ARE still in it!!

November is a crazy month. I didn’t think we would be the ones to be impacted so early losing to WVU. But, I think we will see cincy and TT get their own November surprises later this month with loses to teams they “should” beat.

Stacy Sneed is back for this game, per CWF’s press conference today.

So maybe we’ll have more options at running, catching & blocking.

RB #25 Butler (?) missed a block on one of Connor’s sacks in a crucial 3rd down against WVU. A more seasoned vet like Sneed probably doesn’t.

Beat the Knights!

I understand that Willie is a gracious, kind man and that when you are around someone like that, you want to extend them the same courtesy. But these press conferences are something else. We can’t ask him why our run defense struggled or how we might fix it?

Maybe you can send @monceaux your questions to ask if he’s cool with it.

UCF ran a train on WVU

Yikes

This is a very crucial game for the Coogs. After last week’s embarrassing showing against West Virginia, plus all the talk about our attendance issues, it is time to get back on the positive side and give us a little hope for a bigger crowd against TCU…

I am anxious to see how UH responds this week to Saturday’s disappointment. I need to see some mental toughness by putting last Saturday’s performance behind them. As they say, “don’t let a bad performance beat you twice.”

UH’s performance against UCF will decide how to view the rest of the season and which bowls are realistic for UH.

UCF is actually favored at this point at +1.5. The moneyline was dead even with both UH and UCF at -110. I took the Coogs with the spread at -1.5 because it was -104.

I expect the team to be much sharper, and I would be shocked if the defense didn’t return to form.

The offense is a little less certain. Part of what happened last week can be chalked up to “one of those games,” but injuries are a problem, and the QB play last week has me a little spooked.

UCF smoked WVU the week before we played them, despite losing the TO battle. Then they got dominated by Baylor. Weird team.

I’m seeing us favored by 1.5, so it’s basically a toss up.

QB played good last weekend

Whose?

The UCF QB was pretty bad against Baylor.

UH QB played good last weekend

Against West Virginia? :no_mouth:
