So yeah, 42-0.

That's one hell of a shut out.

Lot's of people over at Rivals are up in arms and freaking out as if it's something that was completely unexpected and is some sort of coaching travesty. The fact is, UF has third string walk ons that would probably start at most schools. Until the Knights are consistently going to bowl games every year and competing for conference championships -- we're just not going to recruit the same level of talent that a powerhouse SEC school is going to attract. We might pull a coup on one or two guys each year, but I mean.. come on.. Last year was the first bowl game we've ever been invited to. It takes time.

UF beating UCF is supposed to happen. What's not supposed to happen, is USF requiring a full 60 minutes to squeek one out on FIU, 21-20. Next week is the War on I-4 as USF travels to Orlando to face UCF. O'Leary, the players, and just as importantly, the fans, need to get over the UF stomping and fast. A loss to a USF team that's struggled two weeks in a row against bottom barrel opponents could cause a mass exodus of fans before conference play even begins. Gotta love the bandwagon.

In other news, the Ohio State/Texas game wasn't quite the thriller we all hoped it would be. I think it's safe to say though that OSU plays for the national championship come January. The last time they played (and won) the championship, we ended up with rule changes, a league wide instant reply and 5 years of soap-opera.

I can't believe UCF opens up at home in Orlando against Texas next year. In a brand new on campus stadium no less. My oh my, how far we've come. Here's to hoping we at least get on the scoreboard.... :-\
