*** Official UCF vs #9 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[Clonefan94]

We should be between 20-25

Got exposed tonight: we’re good, but not top 10-15 good.

Good teams find a way to win on off nights. LOL, we haven’t lost yet, who should be ahead of us who wont be? Alabama? For ***** sake, enjoy the ride and quit looking for things to be upset about.

I thought he was.

UCF will get a apology letter from the Big 12 office this week.

 

[CloneLawman]

Well the unbeaten run was fun while it lasted

It sure is eeyore.

EXCEPT FOR THE SPIKE CALL WHEN NOT NEEEDED

I thought that was a mistake. Otherwise a pretty great job managing the end of game.

I was fine with it there.

I mean, compare this 2 minute drill to the Purdy years even.

Amazing composure.

Yeah I didn't understand that one but we got the W!

In those special years, the ball just bounces your way. This is one of them.

We got that in 2020, and it always felt like we were robbed cause that was such a weird year with very little fans. I’m glad we are getting that now in a normal year.

Even Eric Heft hated it, luckily the PI was 2 plays later.

How the **** am I going to sleep tonight?

 

[CycloneSpinning]

Glad we won and I have no desire to nitpick. Buuuut, it’s kind of amazing that a full staff of coaches can mess something like that up so bad. Clocking it made zero sense. So glad it didn’t matter

Eric didn’t like it either. I think the danger there is your qb rushes unnecessarily and does something stupid. I agree overall…but don’t hate the decision with a sophomore qb.

As Iowa State has a bye week, there is no more October games, and another great month for October for Iowa State as Matt Campbell as head coach.

 

[cyatheart]

For those of us not watching but following, how bad was the PI on Higgins near the goalie? Did we catch a break?

Clearly PI

 

[BigLame]

The announcers never brought up how tired UCF's defense had to have been, we ran twice as many plays, seemed like they were on the field the entire second half.

These announcers bring up anything of value? F terrible

Lol, we deserve one more than they do. Egregious holding on the edge, atrocious spots, multiple PIs uncalled, but sure. Directional Florida deserves a letter.

 

[cyatheart]

A minor break. It was PI but may have been a makeup call for the egregious ones they missed.

No, that was text book PI

We probably move up to 8, but I actually wouldn’t gripe if Notre Dame and/or Clemson jump us.

 

[Cydwinder]

They only kept mentioning how long it was taking us to score. Not realizing that wears on the defense a lot over the course of a game.

Or that teams can change their play calling situationally. These announcers were some of the worst I’ve heard in a long time. Right up there with Tommy Tubberville

Got serious deja vu reading this post.

 

[Cydwinder]

No, that was text book PI

I think the only part that was questionable was if it was catchable or not. I think it was close enough but could see where there would be some discussions

Yes, we learned that ol Gus is a football genius.
