CU @ UCF - September 28 @ 1:30 PM MT Game Thread

The recruits will watch the Buffs as much as UCF. With a good game, we might pick up a couple. Maybe CP should have a few of his big name friends from Fla on the sidelines
Nice of UCF to use this as a recruiting weekend for us too.
I remember there was controversy about that with a recruit at Michigan-OSU recently. But it happens all the time. I don't know if you'll ever get a report that meets your standards for "credible", though. I mean, what coach or player is ever going to make a statement on record that the OV was bogus?
none, I would imagine. but I wouldn't be surprised one bit to hear a recruit/player make that statement
Wonder if any of the soccer players can kick that far? They're already on scholarship.
Pretty lame that only 1 of 5 of our PKs, can hit what should be routine kicks
Years later, maybe.
Like how Clinton Portis just revealed on how he committed to Miami. At a strip club getting a lap dance as part of his OV. Asked if he was coming. He said "yes" but didn't realize in the moment that the question was about his football commitment. When coaches saw him in the hotel elevator the next day and said how excited they were that he committed, he was confused and just decided to roll with it.
Not only can he kick, but I hear he is a pretty good tenor as well.
We're really gonna hate his theme music.
Last year, I think there were reports of TCU recruits trying to get selfies with Prime. I hope UCF brings in a bunch of LB and OL for us.
I recall those reports. but I don't think they went so far as to suggest those recruits accepted TCU's OV just to see CU.
Ruh Roh. That kid is azz.
There’s a big difference between Official Visits and Unofficial Visits. I doubt any recruits are using OVs to UCF strictly to see Prime, but there are likely 30+ unofficial visitors who reside in Florida and are taking the opportunity to check out the Prime show in their back yard.
I watched a couple of replays of UCF games this year. Running back RJ Harvey (#7) is UCFs best player and is fantastic. It’s a nice two headed monster for them with QB KJ Jefferson able to keep or handoff. Jefferson has a live arm for downfield throws, but isn’t the most accurate passer. Not exactly a revolutionary comment, but this is a team you have to limit the big plays and make them put together a sustained drive.
The UCF pass defense looked a bit suspect against TCU; however, say what you will about Dykes but his offenses are typically good.
TCU was up 31-13 with 4 minutes to go in the third and lost the game when they missed a field goal wide. Very much a CU-Stanford vibe with that game.

That still makes me shudder
My youngest was a soccer player, but joined the football team as a freshman in high school. He served as the kickoff specialist for the freshman team and put 90% of his kicks into, or out of the back of, the endzone. I think he was kicking from 5 yards closer than the college kids, but there is literally no excuse for any D1 college team to have any kicker on the roster that can't put one to at least the goal line.
Our DBs will have ZERO trouble with their WRs and TEs. ZERO. We know what they can do and what they're going to do. Run the ball. If it were me, I'd sit Shilo another game, bring 5-man pressure all day (the fifth coming from the weak side primarily), and play a 2 deep/4 under zone package so we have as many eyes on runs and scrambles as possible.
They won't do this, though.
NOTE: FWIW I trust RL more than anyone on the staff.
We seem to be wedded to man coverage, no matter what. I expect KJ Jefferson to put on a show and CU will be in another "gotta hero ball it to win" at the end type of game.Our DBs will have ZERO trouble with their WRs and TEs. ZERO.

I agree. And i do think there are a few players on the soccer team who could do it. We had Katie for a couple of years.
A woman in sunglasses kicking off.
Lightening is maybe as much an issue as heavy rain and wind. How close can it get, 25 miles?

@manhattanbuff what do your degenerate circles think?
