Loss: All Padron

[couch 'em]

Open guys downfield all day. He can't see it or he can't get it there. He had protection.

[gostangs]

he got rattled early. He was more scared of these guys then he was of TCU

[PonyKai]

Fourth quarter: 2 Fumbles, 1 INT, 4 sacks. What part of "Don't take a sack, there's :50 left in the game and it will end" it was too tough to remember? Not as if an unchecked blitzer shot out of nowhere and slammed him. He ran around and around and never threw the ball away.

Left multiple TD's on the field by not checking down, under-throwing, overthrowing, throwing in to multiple coverage. Bad, bad, bad, bad.

UCF defense is very solid

[couch 'em]

No, he's had this same problem all year. He's so poised and talented but I wonder if Kaiser is the answer sooner than we think

[PonyKai]

A solid UCF defense doesn't magically make him badly overthrow or under throw a wide open Robinson on multiple occasions.

[HB Pony Dad]

He did hold on to the ball too long during his progressions, and was rattled, but the "O" line has to BLOCK!

[soccermom]

Horrible game for him...........just pitiful but I don't get JJ's play calling and/or clock management.

[SMUnewbie]

end of the game quote " His ( Padron ) erratic play was the difference in this game today " '........' bout sums it up.

[gostangs]

actually o line did pretty well - he just holds the ball too long.

[PoconoPony]

I do not want to fully blame Padron; however, he did make too many fundamental mistakes on reads which cost him too much time to throw resulting in sacks and the failure to unload the ball out of bounds to save the clock. Too many basic mistakes.

BS. He had plenty of protection considering it was a championship game. We can't play the Rice D-line every game.

[Pony_Law]

When UCF dropped 7 they covered period, he had already thrown 2 pics I'm sure didn't want to through a 3rd. The lose is on him but lets be realistic. Kyle had a good year overall with some bad games this was one of them. He need to work on consistancy with his throws and accuracy on the deep ball, If he does that watch out next year.

[DomerPony]

Kyle was playing on one leg. I'll take his courage to lead a team anytime.

He had 4-5 seconds most snaps, which should be plenty of time to get rid of the ball. He needs to make decisions more quickly and throw it, get rid of it, or run. You can't expect the line to hold blocks for 10 seconds.

But give UCF credit. They have a good defense, and played well.
