    Some observations:

    We start start slowly even on defense and it almost came back to bite us in this one. If we make it to CFP or NY6, we're going to have to start better against a quality opponent. If you take away the punt return fumble and rash of offsides penalties in the 1st quarter, this would have been a lopsided game.

    I thought at the time we should have gone for it on 4th and pinned UCF deeep on the 1 yard line instead of having Cole Smith make a chip shot. I'm surprised Fickell was that conservative in that situation. Turned out that he made the right call in kicking as that was the margin of victory.

    I understand why Doaks went down in the field of play to run out the clock but that almost came back to bite us as well. Good strategy as long as you don't snap the ball into no man's land and get it returned for a TD. I about had a heart attack until I realized the clock was at zeros. I would really prefer that UC takes the points next time.

    Ridder had a great game with 338 yds passing and 4 TDs. He probably should have had a 5th on a missed read option.

    The TE corps had themselves a day. Whyle and Taylor dismantled UCF's pass defense. They couldn't cover either of them which is a good thing since the WRs were having some trouble getting open downfield.

    Darrian Beavers had a great game with 12 total, 8 solo tackles and 4 TFLs. Love the fact that he wants to return next year.

      Play of the game - our stolen recovery of the second fumbled punt. It was a great heads up play by our guy (don't remember who it was). A UCF player had his hands on the fumbled ball and our guy just forced it away from him. If UCF gets that fumble, they probably go up 21-3 and the outcome might well have been different.

        I got to give a game ball to Cole Smih. 2 fg's coming in and goes 3/3 with a 48 yder. Kicking has been mia but he came through yesterday. A perfect season is definitely in the scopes at this point. Congrats to the Cats!

            I agree, I would rather them have added the touchdown. Yes UCF could have scored quickly (or returned kick off for a td) and then recovered on onside kick but I would rather live or die with our defense.

              The player who saved Montgomery's bacon after the second muff was CB Justin Harris.
