Roberson is a junior - the only two positions we lose on offense is one starting WR and our starting RB. But we will have possibly the best QB, O-line, TE's (we get James Eligible) and a PLATOON of WR's to replace Proche. We'll find a RB.
And D will have around 7 starters back, not including the number of D-lineman who will have extensive playing experience.

We could - seriously - be looking at a pre-season top 10 ranking. We will be the team to beat in the American.

We MIGHT get a preseason top 25 rating. They screwed UCF over at the beginning of the year every year regardless of what they returned. They will do the same to us.

Was reading the comments on an ESPN post about our Houston win the other nights, and several people said ΓÇ£SMU will be a better UCF in the futureΓÇ¥. Man I hope that comes true. Being the top G5 school is a fun place to be.

Two WRs - Galliard and Proche. Had Reggie not been hurt, I think he would have gone to the NFL too. And our 1st and 2nd string RB. But I agree I bet we get a legit transfer RB, and hopefully WR too.

Those people are old enough to remember how good SMU was in the Pony Express era whereas UCF is still a relative newbie

Also, here's food for thought. Remember how fast Houston's Stevenson is? Wiggins is faster.

Stevenson's times are the ones with four listed for the 400ImageImage

Let's finish this year at the top of the AAC and then worry about next year after the season. Yes, we have a lot of talent for next year but right now it is 1 game at a time.
