Watching Temple vs. UCF
November 1st, 2018 at 8:10 PM ^
The Bobcats are doing various crimes to WMU in some 28-0 MACtion.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:15 PM ^
Yeah. As a bronco it’s tough to watch after such a promising start. It sucks losing your QB.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:12 PM ^
I really hope the CFP gets expanded to 8. I’d love to see #1 Alabama score 100 on #8 UCF in the opening round.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:24 PM ^
Or better yet the playoff expands to 8 and UCF never gets picked because they’ll never be one of the best 8 teams in the country.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:32 PM ^
I would have loved to see Frost's UCF team get "out hit" in an early round playoff. This mediocre teams need a reality check every so often.
November 2nd, 2018 at 8:12 AM ^
You know, I may see this one a bit differently than some others. I think it is possible that a non-P5 could be one of the eight best teams in the country (best four would be very rare). I think back to some of the best Boise teams and when the played the big boys either in the regular season or bowl games, you could tell they were good. But UCF. Please. They're like a minor league Big 12 team. Giving up 40 to an average Temple team? Beating the worst Memphis team in several years by one? They are not in that class.
November 2nd, 2018 at 8:21 AM ^
Totally agree. If UCF and the smaller division teams don't get a chance what's the use in taking part? I agree that Bama might clock them. But how does that mean they shouldn't get their chance? And isn't that why you play the freaking games?
November 2nd, 2018 at 8:38 AM ^
If they want a seat at the table they should schedule good power 5 teams in the non conference. If they knock off say Florida and Texas and then go undefeated in conference, they would be in the playoffs.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:13 PM ^
There is zero defense in this game. Every time I look away for a minute there is a score
November 1st, 2018 at 8:18 PM ^
Yeah, I mean, it's great to go fast I guess. But it virtually guarantees your defense is on the field a ton, either because you just scored fast or you went 3 and out. It reminds me of a misguided coaching hire we had once...
November 1st, 2018 at 8:34 PM ^
Temple actually has a good defense, better than their offense over the season.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:14 PM ^
UCf is trash. This is ridiculous, they have no defense at all. Any of the top ten teams would demolish this team.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:22 PM ^
Read Fauxmo's OP comments and it was exactly what I was thinking when I got home, turned on this game and clicked this thread.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:25 PM ^
Temple is on pace for 1100 yards tonight. MSU would have to play us 12 times to get that.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:29 PM ^
I don’t mind it for a Thursday night. One of the things I love about college football is the diversity of offensive strategies.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:30 PM ^
This Temple QB is fun to watch.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:30 PM ^
Wow what a fake out nice job on that TD
November 1st, 2018 at 8:36 PM ^
How many Temple tackles can be broken in one run? Answer: Almost all of them
November 1st, 2018 at 8:37 PM ^
This is stupid shit. This is going to be worse than the rich rod Illinois game. The final is on pace to be something like 85-80.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:40 PM ^
That fullback is not Ben Mason
November 1st, 2018 at 9:02 PM ^
More like Perry Mason...
November 1st, 2018 at 9:10 PM ^
A minor quibble, that is a picture of Ironside, Perry Mason didn't need wheelchair assistance.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:21 PM ^
Raymond Burr was both Perry Mason and Ironside. Shut up...
November 1st, 2018 at 9:35 PM ^
Lolirl
November 1st, 2018 at 8:40 PM ^
Come on temple, you had to see that coming!
November 1st, 2018 at 8:41 PM ^
Ok, now that UCF has given up 24 to Temple in a quarter, can we just go ahead and say that they objectively suck? I'm really getting sick of the UCF whining. It's as bad as Nebraska whining . . .
November 1st, 2018 at 8:41 PM ^
Yea, this looks like one of the four best teams in the country...
November 1st, 2018 at 8:41 PM ^
Lol. I thought the comments were going to be on how the cheerleaders have great personalities and that’s why they are cheerleaders.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:41 PM ^
Was that a fullback? In a spread offense? I’m impressed!
November 1st, 2018 at 8:41 PM ^
November 1st, 2018 at 8:41 PM ^
Is UCF winning out a good thing? Help drive change for a 6 or 8-team playoff?
November 1st, 2018 at 8:53 PM ^
Winning out playing a legitimate schedule would be a great start. If UCF winning out is the impetus that moves the CFP to a 6 or 8 game playoff, look for an immediate downgrading of future schedules with P5 conferences, that are currently playing 9 conference games, reducing the number of conference games to 8. Do you think that would be a good thing?
November 2nd, 2018 at 6:06 AM ^
It's already a thing. See; Alabama/SEC.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:44 PM ^
November 1st, 2018 at 8:45 PM ^
November 1st, 2018 at 8:55 PM ^
Probably something pushed, with an emotional plea, by Scott Frost.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:03 PM ^
It must have been legit, because Auburn is really good, right? They are SEC.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:03 PM ^
This technically isn’t correct. It is a system that awards a champion through the AFCA, rather than to determine a champion (like in the other levels of NCAA football and virtually every other NCAA sport). That’s why you don’t see the FBS “national champion” receive the traditional NCAA national championship trophy/plaque.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:55 PM ^
November 2nd, 2018 at 2:17 AM ^
LOL, ok, right...
November 1st, 2018 at 8:46 PM ^
I'm okay with the gimmicky claim to the title, but to have it displayed in the stadium like that is too far. I hope they lose out.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:57 PM ^
November 1st, 2018 at 9:01 PM ^
The entire ucf crowd booing and giving the bird to the injured Temple guy just made me want them to loose very badly.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:02 PM ^
What's really sexy about watching this game is how this sort of buff 235lb fullback is having his way with UCF. I'm just picturing our FB duo smashing 180-205 lb heads all night long.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:12 PM ^
Same. Our O-Line vs. this UCF D-Line would be a fun day. By the fourth quarter, a mercy rule would have to be created and implemented.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:04 PM ^
Lack of basic tackling is astounding
November 1st, 2018 at 9:06 PM ^
A couple offensive players on UCF are fast as hell, but UCF would get beat pretty soundly against a lot of top 25 teams.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:07 PM ^
We are coming up on 700 yards of offense between both teams in just the first half. Lots of Big XII-ish numbers in this game.
Meanwhile, the crew covering Ohio-WMU is talking about what Tim Lester's halftime message was. I am almost certain it was, "WELP...."
November 1st, 2018 at 9:14 PM ^
I still don't understand how spinning the ball is taunting.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:35 PM ^
Yeah, unless you spin it right at someone then it shouldn’t be.
