Please Dear Football Gawds allow UCF to beat SMU Wednesday night. They killed us last year and we owe them. Thanks.

The teams seem evenly matched this year.

UCF only 2.5 favorite. SMU has NFL Qb.

UCF 41 SMU 19 F

The knights move to 1-0 in conference. 4-1 overall.

UCF defense is nasty.

Funny comment from twitter:

"Not sure UCF is a fit in the Big 12. Their defense is too good."

SMU was up 13-10 at half. UCF offense was playing horrible but the defense and special teams kept SMU out of the endzone with many redzone stops.

Then UCF gets the ball in the 2nd half and scores 31 unanswered points. SMU scored a garbage TD with 1 second to go with the scrubs in.

Jekyll and Hyde game from 1st to 2nd half. But, wow, that 2nd half and UCF looked like world beaters. Granted it was SMU, but SMU lost by a TD to both ranked TCU and Maryland. Their Qb probably will be in the NFL and they had great WRs. Their defense wore out in the 2nd half though. Plus, first year coach.

Nothing too exciting in the first half. The second half was very good. For UCF.

UCF has made decent adjustments at halftime, but they won't get far when spotting better teams a 30-minute head start.

Two pass interference calls against UCF were BS, but the Knights defense got very lucky with several perfect passes dropped by SMU receivers. There was nowhere near enough pressure on SMU's QB.

In the first quarter, SMU had 3x more offensive yardage than UCF; still 2x at halftime. Averaging 3 yards per play has been boring and ineffective since 1972. If Plumlee can't complete more long passes consistently, defenses are going to totally key on UCF's running game (including Plumlee's), and it's not going to end well.

Hell, SMU even played a faster tempo offense than UCF. I thought tempo was supposed to be a Malzahn trademark, but the game lasted 4 friggin' hours and even felt longer than that (nice weather aside).

Knights still have their work cut out for them.
