2017 national champ UCF vs. FAU

[Monster 219]

Didn't see a thread for this.  Nobody watching UCF defend their national championship against Joey Freshwater?

UCF up early 14-0, first quarter.

[MaxHorn 397]

You know what drives me nuts about UCF claiming a title last year? They were actually supposed to play the Horns in Austin, but they asked us to push it back to 2023 (which was also recently cancelled when we scheduled Alabama). I know we were the definition of mediocre last year, but a road win against Texas certainly would have helped their playoff cause. I've never heard ANYONE mention the fact that they cost themselves a big potential resume boost.

They earned their right to complain and claim the title. The cfb playoff system is a fraud.

A 'power 5' team will never be allowed into a 4 team playoff.   Never.   We will spend the entire year listening to ESPN promote their business partners (the SEC) as the best in the world, so two of those 4 spots are reserved for the conference they've invested in financially.   

This means a 'group of 5' team would have to leap frog four 'power 5' champions.     They'll never allow it.  

14-14 with 7 mins in the 2nd quarter.

Anybody know if UCF has their same key players?  I watched them beat Auburn last year, but I can't remember whos who on their team...

I agree-- they can claim it all they want. I'm just saying that their claim would have a little more validity with a road win at a traditional power 5 team under their belts.

That fake punt changed the momentum of the game. UCF also killing themselves with stupid penalties.

I wish this was true, but it just wouldn't have mattered.    'Validity' is in the eyetest of the beholder.  

Big 4th down stop by UCF.  Negated by an offensive penalty.   FAU has a terrible kicker, I guess?  

...now they're kicking it

[Machinator 32103]

UCF made that look easy.

[Monster 219]

UCF gets the ball with 1:30 left in the half....and might have scored too quickly.

21-17 UCF with 31 seconds to go first half.

[Monster 219]

FAU double reverse WR pass....should have been intercepted.

that power 6 conference add is pathetic.

yea if you need a commercial to try and tell everyone you are "in the club" then you are not in the club

[kopp0e 1135]

UCF is pulling away from the station, on the victory line...

I liked it better when they were saying  'we don't care about your club'.

UCF starting to pour it on  Looking unstoppable on offense.  34-17 UCF

[Monster 219]

ESPN fucks up their attempt to discredit UCF's championship with a 'claimed title' graphic on the Bama/UCF QB comparison. 

Graphics guy accidentally put 'claimed title' on the Bama side of the screen. 

Ya just trolled yourselves douchbags.

i was trying to screen grab this.  hilarious.  

UCF has gotten into ESPN's head.   I hope more schools do this kind of thing.    The thing about control freaks, as is the case with ESPN and college football, is they get really bothered when somebody defies them.   

FAU and UCF trade touchdowns.   23-42 UCF in the 3rd quarter.

[Machinator 32103]

That should do it.

[GreenspointTexas 9992]

Oh mylanta

 

 

honestly, that hit coulda been much worse

 

dear god

[nineliveslost 3012]

i dont see how that was targeting.  

[Anastasis 23717]

Pussification. 

[GreenspointTexas 9992]

It wasnt targeting. Good call

[Anastasis 23717]

Yes. Good call.

McKinzie Milton their QB is stilll their QB.  Shaqueem Griffin, the one-handed bandit, is their main loss.  They returned mostly everybody.

I like it,  they are forcing the issue on how much of a fraud this P5/G5 system is.   There should really be no differentiation.  But it's all about the P5 controlling the $$ and access, which is simply  rigged and corrupt.

They also lost cornerback Mike Hughes, first-round pick in the draft.

[J.R. Juniors Junior Jr. 1113]

Ballgame.  UCF looks to be picking up where they left off.  Austin will be in UCF territory on the imperialism map at the end of the regular season.
