UCF? Looking ahead to next year's schedule?

[Jmansour333]

Watching the Beef Bowl last night, I saw some talent on UCF. I think if we have a bad game, we could struggle against this team. Also, what is everyone's early predictions for what kind of season we will have next year? I have seen the schedule: it is much more manageable than the October from he'll this year. Breaking it down, we open with NC, their best player just declared for the pros. UGA on the road, but they are loosing their entire defense, and I would bet even money Murray leaves, to avoid more skepticism and criticism, if he stays, he's currently 0-3 against SC. Vandy at home, who is loosing Quarteback, running back, and probably their WR declares early. UCF on the road. Kentucky at home, no real analysis needed. Arkansas on the road, loosing Tyler Wilson, Cobi Hamilton, Dennis Wilson, and Knile Davis. UT on the road, no Bray, Hunter, Rodgers, or Patterson. Mizzou on the road, goodbye to Sheldon Henderson. Missippi State at home, loosing Jonathan Banks. Florida at home, loosing a lot, but I will consider this the toughest game of the year. Coastal at home. Clemson at home, with seemingly no real changes or improvements, and I bet Tajh goes Pro. I really think next year is completely dependent on our LB and OL improvements. QB solid, RB solid, TE solid, DL outstanding, secondary pretty good, ; to me it will just be having good run tackle support and consistent blocking to open holes for running and growth in the passing game. Thoughts?

I wish we would've gotten out of this game. I know why they scheduled it but its going to be another one of those games where we start slow against an inferior opponent. The difference is that this is on the road.

After watching their game last night, our game with them has become a concern for me as well. Fortunately comes after an open date.

Watching a bit of the game last night and UCF definitely has some talent on that team. The QB looked pretty good, but I'm not sure what year he is. I know their RB is going to be gone and he has torn it up in his career. It will be an interesting game for sure next year.

In retrospect however, Mizzou beat UCF @ UCF this year.

[PvtWarlick]

I think they are a senior heavy team this year but don't quote me on that

[1SCFanInPAUntilNow]

I believe their QB is a soph. That kid was VERY impressive.

QB is a sophomore i think !! They looked good against who??? in the what bowl??? Come on guys give our team a break....we will be the much superior team when we travel to orlando to play the knights....if you are not concerned about every game then something is wrong but we will go to Orlando and beat the hell outta UCF next year !!!

I totally agree. This will be perhaps the biggest game in UCF history and they will be jacked sky high. It will be a tough environment.

It won't be a tough environment, I can promise you that. Their fans our very very lack luster.

[Cockholio]

Their QB looked good and they have some playmaker's. Our QB's are better and our defense is night and day better than Ball St. We will crush UCF.

Not sure about defense but they were talking about how they return nearly all their offensive weapons next season.

conference usa is terrible you can't really go on that

The biggest game is UCF history was against Texas a couple years ago when they opened their new stadium. They came back and almost won. They also hate USF who is down the road from them on I4. It'll be an important game for them, but not the MOST important.

UCF is never consistent. I've seen some pretty bad UCF offenses in my day. (Besides when they had Kevin Smith a 2,000 yds/ year runner). They also have close to 48,000 students yet can't fill up their 40,000 seat stadium unless it's a conference championship game.

I'm a Carolina student and an Orlando native. We should beat them pretty easily.

guys, it's central frickin' florida...SEC>>>>>Conf. USA...some of these comments/replies sound eerily familiar to us going to Vandy this year...though a bit close, that one turned out alright...and I'd venture to say Vandy's a LITTLE bit better than UCF...plus it'll be the 4th game of the season - AFTER an open date...I say we'll be chomping @ the bit to play anyone...potential championship-caliber teams do not concern themselves w/ mediocre to slightly above mediocre Div. I teams.., yes I realize OVERALL in our history, we are a mediocre program...we are not that anymore...simply go out there and take care of business...that's what I plan on going down and seeing...RMO III

Does Wofford ring a bell? No doubt we are the better team with more talent. These type of games don't always bring out our best however.

[gamecockphilip]

We wanna be SEC champs and you guys are worried about UCF? Lol please...

[USCremedy]

we will destroy the knights

[U-Dub Gamecock]

It would be a great road game to attend!

South Carolina hasn't destroyed anyone on the road recently.
