Admittedly, I know next to nothing about UCF this year, but interestingly Phil Steele ranks them #15 in his preseason poll.

Well since I do go to UCF I thought I would give a little scouting report on them:
1. Our QB situation is mediocre at best. First we had all Jeff Godfrey who was a stud athlete, but was misused so they moved him to WR. The presumed starter is a homegrown id by the name of Blake Bortles. He's big with a strong arm, but I saw him in Spring. Was not impressive at all. Highly inaccurate. My pick would hopefully be Tyler Gabbert brother of Blaine who just came in.
2 RB: our best position by far. Murrary will start and he is a beast. Plus we have Miami transfer Storm Johnson this year. He is an ankle breaker. Easily changes direction, I was very impressed with him in spring.
3. WR: very young, very athletic, very good. JJ Worton could be the next Wes Welker.
4. Dline: next to RB this is our best group. Big, athletic mobile dudes who can get to QB.
5. Secondary: young and talented, but is one of our weaker positions.
Coach staff: Words cannot describe how much the fanbase hates our head coach and offensive coordinator. O'Leary and Taafe are basically dead men walking if they don't win this year. GOL squandered a potential BCS buster last year with idiotic coaching decisions, see UCF vs UAB, UCF vs Southern Miss in 2011. Urban will coach circles around him, heck even Luke could have. Taafe is our OC. His offense is prehistoric. You will laugh. He is the only coach in America that still believes in wildcat and that running the ball 40 times and passing 15 times is effective.
I wish the Buckeyes good luck. I have a friend who goes to OSU and am trying to get tickets.

JJ Worton could be the next Wes Welker.

Is he white and gritty with deceptive speed?

The only reason this statement may have a shred of truth to it is that our OC Jim Bollman is no longer here...

Horrible post. I disagree.

Horrible post. I disagree.

Great post. I agree.

Wouldn't they have to be your equally favorite teams for you to be torn?

yes

Torn? As in wanting tOSU to crush all enemies by 30 points or more but want UCF to not lose to us by more than 21?:tongue2:

I like UCF. I root for them when I watch them on TV. I know some folks that went there and they are nice people. I hope that we drop a 60 spot on their sorry asses and keep their offense from crossing their own 20 yard line. No mercy.

a real "student of the game"? a coaches son perhaps? or maybe just a real gymrat.
