We will most likely get a bowl game at 6-6...issue is going to be getting that 6th win

Lighting doesn't explain approx. 100 yards in penalties. . .including one of the most obvious pass interference calls I've ever seen (1st quarter pick that was called back). Lighting doesn't explain 3 turnovers, including two fumbles by senior receivers while running after the catch. Lighting doesn't explain the offense doing absolutely nothing in the second half against a physically overmatched defense. I'm not saying the lighting isn't an issue, but there was a heck of a lot more going on last night with this team than lighting. I hope they can straighten it out and start showing some consistency on both sides of the ball going forward.

Hollman had the big fumble in the first half while we were driving...he is a soph. regardless of his class, there is no excuse.

Excuse me, you're right. For some reason I had it in my head that the first fumble was Wilkerson.

Don't throw bombs from the 5 yd line.

Next...

Seriously, the lights reflect perfectly into cameras and fans eyes. This has been a real issue.

Boise changed their field to low reflective field specifically for this treason.

We have the same problem with our new turf

Maybe higher placement?

Watch what happens to UCF in those lights at night. They are going to spank JJ and company.

What was sad about this fumble (which was right in front of me) was that he purposed shifted the ball to his inside arm, against all taught procedure, and then was hit right on the ball, and out it came. Fundamentals please.

It may be bad, but it doesn't rise to the level of treason...

Better not say that to OTP because he probably will say that SMU will spank UCF.

Pulling for SMU just stating a fact.
