Another WAY early game--whats that, 3 wks in a row? And I figured this would be a push-over, like E- and everyone else (most of all the media, who are seeing it as another eg of SEC-scheduling cupcakes late from the former BSC-era reality)..."scrimmage" indeed. Except, maybe not. One reason I am this "late" checking in is 'cause I got caught up in looking over this UCF's season, personnel--and especially history of late, "coming close" against good teams, finding varied ways to lose late. This may not be the runaway the odds spread and general "wisdom" foresees--even if we DID have our first-string D-line, which we DON'T...And we all know, "perception being everything" in an era where we've returned to a few people judging a "beauty contest" once more (that's what we've got again--I don't care how ANYONE tries to prettify it), by now reality won't be considered: anythibg BUT a big Gator win, easily done, will probably get us denigrated, maybe even dropped lower on that "list", even for a win. I just can't get with this idea of a "BAD win" (or a "good loss", for that matter--it's horsesh*t, when you see how inconsistently such terms are arrived at and used).
Anyway, I admit it: I considered neither when it might start, OR if it might be a contest after all, when I made plans for the early/middle part of the day. Grabbing off a few min HERE NOW to say all THIS...Gotta get back to my morning etc now...Like E-, I expected a "scrimmage" here.
Hope that STILL turns out to be the case, that we get to develope a little experience and depth along the lines and elsewhere, that Treon gets a real workout, along with a general growth of proficiency, famiarity and confidence among he and EVERYONE on our offense. But then again...
