Anyone watching UCF/Memphis? Does UCF’s offense remind you of a team from 1998? Quick quick quick so we don’t have to kick!! And I don’t think they have better athletes than us

I am for UCF...let the AAC get to a New Years Day Game...Looks like UCF and USF will be in the market for new HC's

The winner of this will go to NYD bowl regardless.

Hoping UCF can pull this out because I think they are our best shot at winning that game. Although both teams are really good. People can mock these defenses but a lot of these points are coming from offenses just making plays.

What a game, no defense at all. I hope UCF will win, but may go into overtime.

The biggest difference that I see between Tulane and these teams is the OL. For the most part, the QB's have time. I'm sure there are other areas where we lack the talent, but that's the biggest difference that I see.

Overtime, tied at 48. And 1400 yards of offense! So basically, Memphis and USF are just as good as an undefeated UCF team. And yet, the AAC is not a strong conference. Got it.

Ferguson throws a pick. Final, 62-55 UCF. Undefeated still.

Hard to bring myself to cheer for either of these teams. I suppose that the greater good for the conference was served by UCF's win.

Here's hoping that we see the Green Wave playing in this game next year!

Mistake? He's gonna quadruple his salary. They recruit nationally as well. I think they will compete in their division of the big 10.

Don’t know if Frost can bring that same offense to the big and slow 10. He’ll need to recruit speed from the south.

it's not the same Nebraska but he's gotta take it. Money aside, there isn't a coach on the planet that would stay at Ucf over Nebraska. He's 12-0 and not in the playoffs. Lincoln Riley had as good or better rep than frost so, we'll see. It's not an easy job anymore. Riley would actually be a good target for ucf

they have been recruiting nationally for years and still can't win !!!... money is a different thing, if he want's to go there for the cash grab, more power to him ..but remember this when Nebraska has a "home game" the Stadium becomes the 4th largest "City' in the state....

Arkansas is another wasteland, and without players from Texas High Schools, OU and Okie State would be a wasteland .... if memory serves each have about 75 on their rosters...

In two short years UCF went from 0-12 to 12-0! Well played and coaching does make a difference.

Yep. Had Tulane hired Danny White as our AD he would have hired Frost here.
UCF acted first and hired White in November 2015 while Tulane waited until early December to hire Dannen. Dickson announced in May that he was retiring well before UCF had an opening.

My goodness . Who would choose to stay UCF when Nebraska calls. Nebraska is a hard job , but if you fix it you're a god. Or you can stay in Orlando and watch the playoffs on tv. If you fail you go to cusa and start over.

It's a big assumption that either of those guys would be interested in Tulane .

Nebraska is home for Frost. It’s a no brainer.

Chris Scelfo is once again available to head coach? And, as an "added bonus," Chris will agree to 350k a year plus promise to "never leave"!!!

UCF should call Chris' brother Sam Scelfo this coming morning at about 4:15 a.m. for further details!

And, if Chris is hired Sam will throw in a free doberge cake for UCF from his World Famous Gambino's Bakery!!! :lol: :-D ;)
