And LSU playing with 9 starters that are now out of the game.
Yeah, the conditioning surprised me. I saw that as well. Early UCF had hands on hips; later LSU did. LSU more than doubled UCF's total offense.That was frustrating to watch. The refs were so giving crap to UCF the entire game. LSU's offense was on the field so much that instead of running the UCF defense down they actually wore themselves down. Every single one of their drives ended with them at the 10 yd line with the OL gasping for air. Didn't help that they used up all their timeouts in the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half.
UCF would have a losing record if they played in the SEC. Even with Milton. Though ... he would have been knocked out for the season a lot sooner than this year. Probably sometime last year. He should consider himself lucky.
Special ed lil sister school.Forma all girls school; shouldn't that be little sister?
What other factor(s) does UCF need to win? A full moon? High tide? This is the problem; they need to be at complete, full strength to even compete with the 4th or 5th best team in the SEC. The UCF argument is a complete joke and their fan base should be embarrassed by the way they handle success.Best on best, UCF would have given LSU as tough a game as they did AU (a better team) last year.
You can't be serious, Clark. LSU's average class is top 5-10. UCF's is around 50. LSU is two deep with blue-chippers. UCF is playing 2 and 3*s. UCF would get destroyed playing P5 talent every week. Even if they were in a P5 conference there's no reason to expect they'd be any better than a Duke.. or Idaho. You still have to recruit, hire expensive coaching staffs, build facilities, etc.Best on best, UCF would have given LSU as tough a game as they did AU (a better team) last year.
I'd like to see UCF in a P5 conference. Their attendance was over 45k this year, which is about average for P5 conferences. They would fit nicely in the ACC or Big12.
UCF getting crushed would be the cherry on the sundae of our run taking back the state of Florida. I'm a big LSU fan today.
Discuss.

Crushed didn’t happen, despite a 3:1 TOP advantage and more than double the yards.
I thought the broadcast handled the “self-proclaimed” championship and playoff noise well, while still giving UCF appropriate respect for what they have accomplished.
They are like Boise State was a few years ago, the difference being UCF is a huge and growing major university in a major market in a large state.
Agree. UCF lacks the size and physicality to match up week to week against SEC teams. It was like watching men against boys.Best on best ... Milton would be in the hospital.
Difference is ... LSU would be ready to go next week against another SEC team while UCF would be dead after 2-3 weeks of the schedule. They could play 10 times and LSU would beat them every single time. So would most of the rest of the SEC seeing how LSU is 6th in the SEC this year.
All this major market crap is bs. If it was a major market the magic could keep a free agent every now and then. People go to Orlando for Disney world.The big 12 could give 2 shcits about adding ucf. They didn't even get a vote.Crushed didn’t happen, despite a 3:1 TOP advantage and more than double the yards.
