Good chance for a glimpse of Frost's unbeaten Knights and the triple option.

UCF beat Memphis 40 - 13. Memphis beat Navy 30 - 27. Comparative scores don't always mean anything. I'm taking Navy in Annapolis in this one.

I'd like to bet on this game but there is nothing in the Sportsbook on it for Top 25 games or SEC games...

This is the most intriguing game on the schedule today to me for this reason. Navy runs the ball as good as anyone using the triple option, which used to be run out of the wishbone. Well Scott Frost was a starting QB at Nebraska under Tom Osborne and did an excellent job of running the triple option offense out of multiple sets. Most teams struggle trying to stop Navy due to short prep time and assignment football, so I will be interested to see how UCF handles it having a head coach who was the captain of a triple option ship in his playing days.

The triple option is tough for P5 teams to stop. It will be a huge test for UCF to stop. I'd take Navy and the points.

I've figured it out, you had a bid to make products for UCF football, and Frost went with your competition. This explains the Frost hate.

glad we got that figured out

I think UCF will cover. Their offense is good enough to take an early lead and teams like Navy aren't built to come from behind.

Well... they did just come back last week, down 4 points to Air Force, with 1:30 left in the game to score the winning TD.
