We will showcase a daily Q&A with a beat reporter(s) covering one of UCF's opponents this season.

Up today? SMU football analysis from Dave Campbell's Texas Football associate editor and Dallas Morning News SMU/recruiting blogger E.J. Holland

I agree with a lot of the concerns, however I don't think RB is one of them. The bad running stats I think are due to the o-line, not the skill of the backs themselves. We have talent and depth at RB... the success of the offense is going to depend a lot on how much the o-line grows up.

If the OL can show improvement this year, that would be a great sign for 2015, since our entire OL will be back.

Great thing about college football? There are a handful of teams that are going to be contenders year after year based on recruiting and coaching stability and then there are the others. I bet the hometown paper and DCTF didn't have CFU winning the conference and beating the mighty Big 12 champion Baylor Bears with such ease in the Fiesta Bowl did they? That could be SMU with a better recruiting effort and determined coaching/fan support.

Don't discount the fact we almost beat University Central Florida last year too.

I agree with you. I don't think the fan support will be hard to come by once we line up some good seasons. Market it correctly and we should make ford fuller than what it has been.
