UCF, raising its fans’ blood pressure since 1979… WHERE DID THE
DEFENSE GO? Temple played a great game and they have a bright future so long as
their QB continues to develop (otherwise, its Jeff Driskel part 2), but WHERE
DID THE UCF DEFENSE THAT HELD HOUSTON TO 14 POINTS GO? its only been 7 days and
we went from that to giving up the most points allowed all season (Yes,
Louisville scored on us less than Temple did). Our defensive front and
especially our defensive line has never looked more shoddy than it just did for
those 60 mins; missed tackles, nonexistent pass rush, high yields from runs up
the middle, just ridiculous. Our offense essentially was playing against two
defenses, but that’s enough negative, I trust the coaches will let them have it
for the mistakes we saw on defense and will work those kinks out in the short
week before Rutgers.
HOLY COW! JJ Worton, you are hereby known as Mr. Dependable. Worton has never stood taller than he does right now following a career game from him, no question. JJ without a doubt is the BIGGEST reason why we were able to win this game, the number of clutch, spectacular catches he made, including the absolutely insane, one-handed TD grab he made to knot the game up at the latter part of the 4th quarter. Blake Bortles once again showed his composure and refusal to fold under the pressure of the moment, commanding a set of beautiful drives to close the game and finding Rannell Hall open in space for the final deep pass that set up the game winning FG. Even with Perriman staying home in Orlando, our receiving corps teamed up with Bortles Kombat to put up a incredible scoring display to outlast the Owls in a shootout.
I’m sure all of you in UCF Nation, like me, have a couple more gray hairs on our heads after this one. Here’s to no more roller coasters, lets just coast through our final home stretch and take home whats been a long time coming, a BCS berth and a win over USF. …. knock on wood.
