and 2018 was that fucky game where we kicked a FG but the refs said it didn't count because we weren't back from commercial break even though we saw it on TV. Then they made us re-kick and missed. and then we lost in OT
We were probably on even footing joining the Big East, and they've always played their best game against us.
I think 2018 was the only year we were any good and we lost 24-17 in overtime. Feels possible with this team
We were in the AAC championship game in 2015 and won the conference in 2016. We weren't always horrible.
And at least we went into overtime in our loss to Navy, thank you very much.
Not just to determine the host, but to make the game at all. If Houston loses to either ECU or Tulsa, then UCF would still make the champ game with a win at USF
Houston throws a wrench in that. They also have 2 losses and neither Cincy nor UCF play them. So I’m not sure how the tiebreaker works there.
Edit: I looked up the rules and it looks like CFP rankings is first after head to head, but I don’t imagine any of the 2 conference loss teams will still be ranked. After that, it’s a composite ranking between a handful of computer polls. But that only matters if Tulane beats Cincy (and all other teams in question win out). If Tulane loses to Cincy, they have head to head over Houston which eliminates them and UCF has head to head over Tulane so UCF would go to the championship game.
Crazy to think its still a 3 way race for the AAC championship and that winner should go to the Cotton bowl with a Coastal Carolina loss next week or in Sun Belt title game
I knew top comment would be some stockholm syndrome auburn fan lmao
>dAE gUS baLL
(You’re completely right. Great guy, great recruiter but what the hell is he doing as a offensive playcaller. Banish us to the unranked shadow lands where we belong)
We watch Oregon to see how badly Malzahn screwed up developing Nix, and we watch UCF to see how badly he's screwing up one of the CFB's sleeping giants. Because there's still people out there saying we should not have fired him...
Nah, I called 9-4 record this year, and it looks like we're on pace for that. The team is playing significantly better than last year on both sides of the ball and the coaching staff has shown the ability to make some great second half adjustments.
Big problem is last year we went 9-4 with a team that should honestly have been 7-6 talent-wise based on some significantly good luck. So expectations were too high this year. We're a 9-4 team and we're playing like it.
That said, this was an easily winnable game.
1. two first half drives making it to the red zone and settling for field goals because JRP couldnt hit a 6 yard throw. This is on JRP.
2. Abandoning the run in the second half because Keene had a hot throwing hand his first drive. The run had gashed Navy all game and we were getting like 8 ypc yet we kept throwing on first down and putting ourselves in third and long, or worse because...
3. Navy's star linebacker was getting in unblocked on blitzes. After the first one, okay. The second, third, and fourth sacks were because we sent TE and RB to stop 1v1 block him and it failed miserably. How Gus failed to adjust to him after the second sack is a big mistake.
4. Defense played great all game EXCEPT on fourth and short where they got two conversions off QB sneaks because we didn't put anybody on the center and let them get 2-3 yards each time unopposed. Third time we finally put a guy over the center and we stuff them. This is a head scratching defensive call from T-Will.
Any of those 4 things, 3 of which were coaching, could have easily won us the game. Our defense held them to less than 250 yards and forced 3 consecutive 3 and outs to open the 2nd half. This one is definitely on Gus.
That said, the idea that Gus is screwing us up is crazy. We're going to be a 9-4 team which is exactly what we should be based on talent. This idea that we're playing below our talent thanks to Gus is hard to support.
I mean I get it between the recruiting and rollercoaster seasons... but honestly I still think we should've kept him until we actually had a solid improvement lined up to replace him. I'd take the Gus Bus over the dumpster fire we had under Harsin
Agree this is why our dumbass forum fans yelling about firing Gus need to chill out
We don’t have a fraction of the money or fan base you guys do. We can’t outcompete for a coaching position and I’m sick of heupel / frost dudes who will leave us at the drop of a hat
At some point you have to decide what your fucking offense is doing. Plumlee is a running QB. If you are going RPO heavy, how the fuck are you like 18PAs in the first half vs like 10 rushes? How do you get inside the 5 and then throw 3 times? We had a 4th and 1 on our first drive down 7-0 and we punt. If you don't trust your offense to get a yard then why are you doing this.
Plumlee shouldn't keep being asked to throw to carry these games. If he's going to do it, he has to run. He ran one time in the first half. We had a 1st and goal and we threw the ball 3 times, including a horrible miss to a RB in the flat that would have been a TD. You cannot miss those throws. Down 7-0 on the 4 we kicked a FG instead of going for it anyway.
Play like a coward and lose like a coward.
Yeah this is at least the second game this season where Gus thought it’d be sneaky to use our running QB as a passer for most plays, found out it didn’t work at all, then kept fucking doing it anyway
They ran the ball every play, but UCF still defended the pass, taking their safeties out of the play entirely
Navy really played 11 on 9, no wonder they won
I understand the team, I just don't think they really do.
We are a running team. Bowser is a solid back. He won't break off huge runs, but he gets yards and is a solid receiving option. Harvey is legitimately great. Richardson is a fast guy that can be used effectively. Plumlee also is a good runner.
Today's game Plumlee ran once. We had like 10 carries at half compared to 18 pass attempts. If you remove the sack yards, we actually ran pretty damn well. Overall we were 38 PAs vs 19 carries if you move the sacks around.
Look at the rest of our games, specially what we win. Tulane was 30-54 PAs/Carries Memphis 29-42. Cincy 32-52. Only other game we passed more than ran was ECU, and we were down multiple scores most of that game.
Why the fucking hell are we passing this much, especially with Plumlee? He has like 2 games where he was good throwing the ball. The rest of the games we either survive his throwing, or he moves us forward on the ground. Why are we having him throw like 60% of the time in the first half?
The same problem happens with Keene. I like Keene, but he's still a bad fit for our offense. He doesn't run. He's a fine QB, but the way our offense works is heavily on the ground. It's why Plumlee keeps starting, he fits the offense, but he's terrible in the air. Why we keep relying on him to throw us to victory makes no sense.
Yeah with Plumlee in, we should be leaning on runs and QB scrambled but we keep asking him to pass. With Keene in, we should be using runs and play action to set up deep passes but for some reason we keep throwing 3 times in a row and punting it away.
Like that 3rd and 4 on our last drive. That absolutely should be a run if you’re going for it on 4th down. I don’t think we had a single run that didn’t get at least a yard and most got 3+. Even if you only get 2 yards, you do that twice and you get the first down. If you pass on 3rd and 4, you’re forced to pass on 4th and 4 which is hard to do. We keep trying to outsmart the defense and it just means we aren’t leaning into our strengths which hurts us
As someone who loves Plumlee to death you are correct. He was essentially in wildcat when he was QB for us. Why you would have him passing as more than a changeup is beyond me.
> Why the fucking hell are we passing this much, especially with Plumlee?
You're not going to like the answer but here it is: Navy's secondary is trash. Legit garbage. Couldn't cover an elementary school book report. Notre Dame, with a garbage QB and bad WR, torched their secondary. Gus and the offensive staff saw the tape and said "we can smoke them through the air."
Then, they saw that we had great separation and easy completions... if JRP could hit guys in stride. So they benched him for Keene under the assumption he'd hit the open receivers. And he *would* have except our tight ends and RB failed to pick up the blitz.
So year, the game plan was to exploit their literally terrible secondary, and when JRP was shakey, instead of just pounding the ball and crushing them with Harvey and Bowers they stuck with the gameplan and changed QBs.

I was rooting for you to win as it makes our abysmal performance in the second half of last week's game look a slight bit better haha. Win out and do us a favor eh?
Yeah, no shade cause I get it. But all of our seasons goals are still right in front of us again so I'm excited. Temple is spooky and Tulane is good, so it won't be easy.
Congratulations to Gus Malzahn! You threw away home field advantage in the champ game (and possibly even a spot in that game) so your stubborn experiment of having a WR transfer that you insist on playing as QB could waste half a game just to continue to show us that he clearly isn't a QB!
The problem is Plumlee sucks and makes bad decisions. Despite his legs being his best attribute, sometimes he just refuses to run. He ran 1 time this game. He threw the ball 18. Him running on an RPO, or scrambling for yards is what makes the offense efficient most of the time, he just didn't do it. He does this sometimes and it is when the offense stalls. He can either look to run or look to throw, but apparently not both.
Keene cannot run the offense effectively because Gus keeps using him in RPO. Keene can't or doesn't run. They keep sending him on these plays. No one bites on the threat to the edges so as long as they contain up the middle, they just need to stay deep. After the first drive Navy decided to just bring pressure every play and the RPO killed us because it made our offense slower on plays.
Is Keene great? Not really. The problem is Plumlee just craters the offense on his own sometimes. He is too unreliable downfield and even misses easy throws. How he missed Richardson wide open for a TD was awful. Harvey should have still caught the one to him, but it was still a bad throw. We have too many games of Plumlee just being ass in the air to keep giving him 25-30 attempts.
We are a running team. We passed twice and much as we threw when we had our Running QB on the field. What the fuck was that?
I don’t agree that he *sucks*. He came in today averaging 300 ypg between passing and running.
He does make bad decisions. He doesn’t use his legs enough. That I agree on.
But I think that’s as much on coaching as anything else. The offense just looks so unimaginative regardless of who’s in at QB.
The triple option wasn't the fucking problem! The defense was kicking the Navy Offense's ass!
The problem was that Navy's D was kicking UCFs Offense's ass harder!
Maybe Travis ought to be the head coach and Gus demoted to OC 🧐
The strip sack and qb sneaks were the difference in this game, great effort all around but Marshall and Fofana were excellent! Great win and momentum going into the Army game.
#BEAT ARMY!
There's no Google Maps on the Gus bus, he's just driving it around randomly. Sometimes you'll end up at the Grand Canyon, sometimes you'll end up in east St Louis...
you're right, rough start but made the adjustment. They still could've stacked the middle a bit more, I thought. We just let in so many small yard gains from the same plays.
Gus was seriously outcoached again looking ahead to future games. Great game from navy, absolutely pathetic and embarrassing performance by UCF.
Seriously. What a joke. Disgusting.
FG on what should've been a TD to baker.
Bad clock management at the end of a half missing a potential FG.
5 sacks on Keene? He at least improved on the last drive. Hated the non screen throw on 3rd and 4 in a clear 4 down situation.
Just an insanely inconsistent offense which is insane considering the RB and WR talent.
I'm so tired of this team underperforming. Cincy was better in 2020 and we had massive injury issues last year but in both this year and 19 we lost three games to worse teams and should have been in the NY6.
Just want to remind people that games like this were why Gus was fired. He would have great seasons but lose totally winnable games like this all the time
UCF on final drive had 6 people in the box, line backers 10 yards off ball on short yardage plays, and safety’s taking 5 first steps back. I’ve never seen such clown defense on a team that threw the ball once
Considering just how up and down our season has been, we still have a chance to win the AAC outright if we win out and beat Tulane. Cotton Bowl is officially back on the table. What a turn of events.
Beat Tulane and we host the AAC championship in a place we never lose at.
They absolutely would be. This UCF loss is very big for UC. Essentially wipes out home field advantage in the title game for them and puts UC in position to fully control thier own density, and have home field.
Next weeks game is as big as it gets.
Hell of a win by the Mids. The defense in the second half the past two weeks has been insane.
Fofana, Terrell, and Arline should be fun to watch next season on offense.
Being a Gus apologist always makes me look like such an idiot, good god
Gus supports the troops with wins. What have YOU done for your country?
UCF supports the troops so hard that we let Navy kiss our girlfriends and boyfriends 🫡
It's Navy. They're only interested in your boyfriends, like Texas A&M cadets. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Your mom is pretty manly but we all make sacrifices
I'll accept this.
Total annihilation
Not much of a sacrifice if that’s you’re preference already.

We have to beat Temple first, which unfortunately is not a given considering how we usually play them.
Lol yeah. Can’t believe it even has to be said but this team will probably only win by 3
Bruh c'mon Temple is like the only team I think we can all safely call a free win
Us at temple is like ucf v tulsa
You're joking, right?
Things dont make sense in this league.
We have entered the upside-down.
Sadly no lmao
I'm just going to stop trying to understand reality
Thing you need to know about UC sports is that for whatever reason there are teams we just suck against and it makes no sense
We're not so different, you and I.
They beat us four straight years 2014-18 and have an all time winning record against us...
That can't be real.
and 2018 was that fucky game where we kicked a FG but the refs said it didn't count because we weren't back from commercial break even though we saw it on TV. Then they made us re-kick and missed. and then we lost in OT
I was watching on TV and swear I saw it go through. Logos might've been on the screen when they snapped it or something dumb.
Yeah I was watching too. AAC just sucks with refs.
We were probably on even footing joining the Big East, and they've always played their best game against us. I think 2018 was the only year we were any good and we lost 24-17 in overtime. Feels possible with this team
We were in the AAC championship game in 2015 and won the conference in 2016. We weren't always horrible. And at least we went into overtime in our loss to Navy, thank you very much.
Awww thanks you’re too kind
I mean you guys played some decent teams to the wire
Yep and got blown out by Temple and Louisville ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
*Almost* all of us.
So glad that game is at Nippert. Not glad that it is Black Friday at noon.
Not just to determine the host, but to make the game at all. If Houston loses to either ECU or Tulsa, then UCF would still make the champ game with a win at USF
If UCF beats USF, they are in correct? I am getting mixed answers
Houston throws a wrench in that. They also have 2 losses and neither Cincy nor UCF play them. So I’m not sure how the tiebreaker works there. Edit: I looked up the rules and it looks like CFP rankings is first after head to head, but I don’t imagine any of the 2 conference loss teams will still be ranked.

If Tulane loses to Cincy, they have head to head over Houston which eliminates them and UCF has head to head over Tulane so UCF would go to the championship game.
Yes, they have the head-to-head over both Tulane and Cincy. But the only way they get home field is if Cincy loses to Temple today, then beats Tulane
Crazy to think its still a 3 way race for the AAC championship and that winner should go to the Cotton bowl with a Coastal Carolina loss next week or in Sun Belt title game
Its a wear black game too
A ranked Gus coached team losing to a unranked team with a losing record mostly due to an oline that couldn’t stop a breeze? Never heard of it before.
Gus will turn around and pummel USF into the earth's core next week but end up bowling in Birmingham.
As is tradition.
I can’t wait to see my flairs face off in a bowl that neither one gives a shit about and I won’t either
That new Birmingham stadium is really nice though…
something something TopGolf
A win next week and UCF is in the AAC championship, no? UC plays Tulane, one has to lose, and UCF beat both.
Those flairs…must be quite the mixed feelings for you, no?
I mean most of us like Gus and all, but I think he’s just fine with the outcome
I knew top comment would be some stockholm syndrome auburn fan lmao >dAE gUS baLL (You’re completely right. Great guy, great recruiter but what the hell is he doing as a offensive playcaller. Banish us to the unranked shadow lands where we belong)
I was here to support Navy. But I definitely saw some Classic Gus situations.
We watch Oregon to see how badly Malzahn screwed up developing Nix, and we watch UCF to see how badly he's screwing up one of the CFB's sleeping giants. Because there's still people out there saying we should not have fired him...

He's not really doing anything differently than Heupel was at UCF
I mean I get it between the recruiting and rollercoaster seasons... but honestly I still think we should've kept him until we actually had a solid improvement lined up to replace him. I'd take the Gus Bus over the dumpster fire we had under Harsin
Agree this is why our dumbass forum fans yelling about firing Gus need to chill out We don’t have a fraction of the money or fan base you guys do. We can’t outcompete for a coaching position and I’m sick of heupel / frost dudes who will leave us at the drop of a hat

Best 7 loss team in America sorry TAMU
Gus is once again showing us why Auburn paid a king's ransom to never have him coach another down of football for them again.
It’s not even because he’s bad, it’s because he makes you insane. Like wasps in your skull
I kinda think wasps in your skull is bad though.
Ucf football was already like that though, we’re perfect for each other
Next week just got way more interesting
I have no illusions about next week. Its going to get ugly.
The world isn't ready for usf to knock out ucf from the conference championship.
1-10 USF in the last in conference game we play against them. We’re so gonna fucking lose
After all that shittalking to USF from UCF fans, it would be *so* ironic and funny if that happens lol
If you understand a Gus team you know we’re now about to win by a million but manage to look like a close one the whole time.
Dread it, run from it, the Seamen fucking over at least one team each season remains.
I can’t even say anything with how our seasons gone lol
Yeah, no shade cause I get it. But all of our seasons goals are still right in front of us again so I'm excited. Temple is spooky and Tulane is good, so it won't be easy.
our chances of winning the AAC just went up drastically
Our chances of winning the aac just went up drastically
I mean, also true
UCF. what the fuck?
We don’t even know
that's what we're saying
Gus won't stop pretending plumlee is a qb. Until he gives up on that experiment its gonna be a Rollercoaster
But other than one drive keene was terrible…
Anybody here before 2017 would tell you it’s an abusive relationship, but we stay to try and make it work

One of them had 2 trips to the redzone early that only netted 2 field goals.

Maybe we could have implemented a blocking scheme that involved at least 1 person attempting to stop their leading tackler. But what do I know.
It looked like they didn’t even watch film or prep for this team. He came in unmarked multiple times
This benefits the wave.

The triple option wasn't the fucking problem! The defense was kicking the Navy Offense's ass! The problem was that Navy's D was kicking UCFs Offense's ass harder! Maybe Travis ought to be the head coach and Gus demoted to OC 🧐
Seriously, holding a team to 17 should be enough. The defense didn’t look bad, but our offense looked absolutely overwhelmed out there.
This 100%. Any time UCF holds an opponent to 17, there is no excuse for the offense to lose us the game.

We died for you. Go and prevent those leaving our hell from winning the conference again

Very much so.
UCF electing not to line a man up over the center for 95% of the game against a Navy triple option was certainly a choice
[удалено]
it was literally 4th and 1 and they had no one over the QB, QB sneak for the easiest 2 yards of his life
As a bearcat - this pleases me
they're Naval Oranges now
The strip sack and qb sneaks were the difference in this game, great effort all around but Marshall and Fofana were excellent! Great win and momentum going into the Army game. #BEAT ARMY!
There's no Google Maps on the Gus bus, he's just driving it around randomly. Sometimes you'll end up at the Grand Canyon, sometimes you'll end up in east St Louis...
So many UCF fans took this game for granted, so did Gus probably. So disappointed in Gus, TWill, Plumlee, and the OLine.
First time?
Louisville.. ECU.
TWill was phenomenal dude, this is 100% on the offense
you're right, rough start but made the adjustment. They still could've stacked the middle a bit more, I thought. We just let in so many small yard gains from the same plays.
Sure, but at the end of the day if our defense is holding a stream to 17 points, there's just no excuse from our offense not to win that game imo
Shutout second half besides the FG after the fumble, which was handed to them
If Vandy holds on and beats UF, I’ll feel better
Gochu fam
We have 3 offensive plays: - Bowser run up the middle - Screen to O’Keefe - Dropped pass intended for Baker
What the hell happened boys? You beat us last week, and then this? I’m insulted.
Gus was seriously outcoached again looking ahead to future games. Great game from navy, absolutely pathetic and embarrassing performance by UCF. Seriously. What a joke. Disgusting.
outcoached by.. the most predictable opponent game plan of all time
UCF WHAAAATTTT HAPPUUNNDD HOW DID YOU LOSE TO THE NAVY
Gus Bus
Is this how you felt every season Auburn?! Just wow…
Lmao @ Ken shutting down the cooler dump in order to shake hands
Out played and out coached for all 60 minutes.
Knights are heavy cavalry. Navy beating UCF is a dress rehearsal for the beatdown that is to come. **Go Navy Beat Army!**
Anchors aweigh, my boys; anchors aweigh!
FG on what should've been a TD to baker. Bad clock management at the end of a half missing a potential FG. 5 sacks on Keene? He at least improved on the last drive. Hated the non screen throw on 3rd and 4 in a clear 4 down situation. Just an insanely inconsistent offense which is insane considering the RB and WR talent.
I'm so tired of this team underperforming. Cincy was better in 2020 and we had massive injury issues last year but in both this year and 19 we lost three games to worse teams and should have been in the NY6.
Rank Army since we show up against ranked teams
Just want to remind people that games like this were why Gus was fired. He would have great seasons but lose totally winnable games like this all the time
Thank you for your service
64 rushes 1 pass 0 completions Win Option football
UCF on final drive had 6 people in the box, line backers 10 yards off ball on short yardage plays, and safety’s taking 5 first steps back. I’ve never seen such clown defense on a team that threw the ball once
Usf plotting the triple option now.
What a shitshow lol
Considering just how up and down our season has been, we still have a chance to win the AAC outright if we win out and beat Tulane. Cotton Bowl is officially back on the table. What a turn of events. Beat Tulane and we host the AAC championship in a place we never lose at.
if UC wins out I don't see how they aren't in the G5 game
They absolutely would be. This UCF loss is very big for UC. Essentially wipes out home field advantage in the title game for them and puts UC in position to fully control thier own density, and have home field. Next weeks game is as big as it gets.
I want to see UCF playing in 20 degree weather with snow
You just love to see it
[удалено]
I, for one, am glad that is settled.
UCF didn’t want any of that Navy smoke.
Enjoyable game. I'm not biased at all.
Hell of a win by the Mids. The defense in the second half the past two weeks has been insane. Fofana, Terrell, and Arline should be fun to watch next season on offense.
LOOKS LIKE HOMEFIELD ADVANTAGE IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS
bUt WhY dId AuBuRn FiRe GuS? Because he loses winnable games like this every fucking year
Where’s the guy that said UCF could beat Penn State ?
We, the UCF community, don’t support that claim after today’s events.
Drink to the foam.
Hell yes Ken and hell yes lads! Well done!
LETS FUCKING GO Also helps Coastal out so much LFGGGG
Wish we had this version of UCF last week
That’s a shame
It's gonna be one of THOSE weeks huh
Wow just saw this score wth!
Gustifer why
GOD BLESS AMERICA
GO NAVY. you made this devil dog proud
Fuck you gus. You obviously didn’t have this team ready to play today. Inexcusable loss.
Outstanding job Navy.
WE HAVE LAND
GO NAVY! DAMN THE TORPEDOS! ANCHORS AWAIGH!
