fishepa 1,901 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I could see us blowing them out and I could also see us coming out flat and losing. Neither would surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Freak 2,526 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Any offense we put on the field will score plenty on that D. The game will depend on how well the defense plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our guys will finally be healthy and have a chip on their shoulder from losing the SEC Championship. I also expect to see Chip take advantage of bowl practice to add some new wrinkles. To me, it is such a distraction to even let him, coach. Already rumored that he is poaching some of their commits. I never understand the thought of letting someone who has accepted a job offer somewhere else to continue in their previous institute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect to make them 1 dimensional and then get after that QB. The UCF OL has done very well this year, but they’ve never seen anything like what’s coming Jan 1!!! On O we should win the LOS setting up the balance we like and opening things up on them to put up huge yards and points. The UCF D is not very good at all and we should be healthy. We should win by at least 2 TDs. If our D completely shuts them down, this could get real ugly! I like the way you think! The "on any given day, anything can happen" thought sticks with me before games like this. I think if our Tigers come to really play and UCF has less than their best day ever, AU will dominate. I expect a win. If our Tigers are dragging and UCF plays inspired, it could get interesting. I don't want interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you. Seems odd. I'd think they would want to give their new staff a head start with the team. Maybe they are worried about installing new schemes. I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've seen a bowl team lose their entire staff before the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowebb11 9,314 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 They have great athletes all over the field, except in the trenches. If our O line and D line play aggressive early, we will win big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abw0004 10,110 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I am surprised how cocky and rude the UCF fans are being on the Facebook Bowl Game event page. They have been good for one season and they start acting like Georgia fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are super cocky and already saying they are national champs if they win this game especially if UGA and Bama make the N.C. I hope we kill them.

This guy has other things on his mind. How is this a good idea. Oh well... Thankfully not happening to AU this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMan70 3,277 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I am hoping our guys go in angry and take the SECCG loss out on the UCF team. Make 'em pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2kid 216 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Is KJ going to be healthy by then or not? I started to hear some cosch speak that sounded like the pre sec championship gsme. If he’s still hurt and the O plsn is like the one in the sec championship, we lose. The coaches better realize UCF is treating this game like their national championship.

AURex 1,994 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 CGM has a rather undistinguished record in bowl games so far as a Head Coach. 1-3. He has never beaten a Power 5 team in a bowl game as a Head Coach. His only bowl victory as a Head Coach was against Group of Five Memphis. Since UCF is a Group of Five team, maybe CGM can improve his bowl record as a HC. If that seems a little lacking in enthusiasm, my memory of how poorly he prepared Auburn for UGA in the SECCG is to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
