With the devastating loss at Louisville last week, UCF lost it's starting Qb, Rb, and Center.

It was a good time for the bye week to work in new freshman Qb Mikey Keene. Mikey beat out a couple other veteran Qb's in the spring to earn the #2 spot behind Dillon Gabriel. Dillon is out indefinitely with a broken clavicle suffered on the very last play at Louiseville. That game was something else and went down to the wire. It took me a few days to get the grieving process out, but I'm back!

Thus, starting a Freshman Qb this Saturday, @NAVY. 3:30pm CBSSN. Navy is UCF's (2-1) first conference game. Navy lost to Houston last weekend and is 0-1 in conference.

I have not seen Mikey Keene play yet. They say he played great in the spring game and got some playing time with mop up duty against Bethune-Cookman.

In High School, he went undefeated in the two years he was a starter in Arizona and won back-to-back State Championships. Coach Malzhan in today's presser said it was that history of winning and his leadership qualities that won him the starting position.

It's still unknown if the Starting RB and Center return for Navy.

A new era....It can go either way...

Also, of note, #7 Cincinnati plays @ #9 Notre Dame Saturday at 2:30. I'll be watching that game as well. Cinci is UCF conference mate and have a future play date.
