no disrespect to the ucf fan here...

but I just cant root for UCF, I really don't like their fans/student body

I know a ton of people there, and basically they all bitch about not being in a real conf, and how the deserve it because they beat top teams all the time, etc. All they do is whine....they think they have dominated the CUSA when I think they've won it maybe twice?

With that said, I'm trying to bring my best friends (UCF grad) to this game to show him what a real stadium looks like

No disrespect taken. I do agree the UCF fanbase at times does suck. But I think that comes more from the alumni and the school itself then the students. Infact George O Leary came out last year and said he wants fans to be Gator-Knights whatever that means.
I have a friend at OSU and i'm trying to come up there. Plus I met some OSU girls who were on spring break this year and I have to tip my hat to OSU for having great talent.

As much as I like UCF (hoping to transfer there) and want to see them challenge UF and FSU as the premier team/university in Florida (they are getting there if they don't already have the money on the academic level)...screw it, I want to see the team drop at least 50+ on them and keep UCF to one score or less.

After this game, UCF can go undefeated and win their bowl game.

God some of my fellow UCF fans are stupid saying how now we will win easy now that OSU lost your RB.

Obviously they haven't seen a healthy Carlos Hyde.

Exactly. We'll miss Jordan for sure, but we have other backs who can carry the load. Personally, I expect Rod Smith and Dunn to see some action this season as well. With Jordan's injury, it might give Warren Ball an opportunity to prove himself in Fall camp.

At this point, I'm mostly hopeful that Mewhort and Stoney do everything they need to do to be reinstated before Sept. 1st.

In advance I apologize for breaking the anti-ESPN embargo and watching CFB Live, but I can't help it. Gotta have some kind of fix for my CFB addiction.

Anyway, the great (that's sarcasm) Andre Ware was hyping this game as a real challenge for the Buckeyes. Steele having them at 15 does carry some weight.

Should get a few things ironed out offensively against Miami the week before.

Our defense should break the ankles of any ankle breakers they have.

But the #1 reason Buckeye Nation is wildly optimistic: Jim Bollman is nowhere near the offensive line, and will be no where near the booth, Urban's play card, or a head set on game day.

I watched the spring game and had to ask, "When did they start doing that thing where that one guy throws the ball down field to the other guy?" I thought offensive strategy meant running Dave on 1st and 2nd down, throwing an incomplete pass, and punting.

The defense and the running game for UCF are the only ways that it will be a challenge. Everything else OSU trumps us at, plus it's at the horseshoe. If this was a neutral site or in orlando, then I would be more optimistic, but right now i'm not. Maybe andrew ware sees something I don't, but from what i've seen and the bipolar nature of this team (UCF) I think OSU is just better.

If UCF strength is run game, I honestly believe they may be screwed then. The D-line is gonna be monstrous this year, and from what I've read or understood the secondary is the weak link in the defense.

Agree. Our defense will not give up a huge rushing performance in the shoe. Just look at Wisconsin last year.

Ball 85 yards 17 attempts with a long of 40. So on 16 attempts he had 45 yards.

My concern about our offense is the power running game. Mostly it's just the unknown, but I will be very interested to see play calling when we need 3 or less yards on 3rd or 4th down
