Longest TD pass completion in Tulane history stood for 20 years. 1978-1998

It happens.

Thankfully, Shaun King broke it vs. SMU.

They were simply better then us on both offense and defense."

I was wondering if they were so good that they made us look bad, i.e., the huge hole on the long TD run. Ferguson made some off-target throws that weren't because of them. Miller dropped 2 that I remember that weren't because of them. Our DB's took a step in the wrong direction a couple of times and let the receivers get open. I imagine that is inexperience on our part. Maybe it was something they did.

Their QB out-ran our DL and LB's. That's simply their being good.

By the way, I wonder how many opponents' record books we are in, i.e., the longest run in school history, the longest play in school history, etc.

UCF dominated the line of scrimmage. Ferguson was under pressure most of the night, their QB wasn't.

This.

They devalue themselves with their massive enrollment. Ohio State or Florida can get away with it; UCF can't.

And yes, I know people who went there. My niece is a graduate.

Florida is growing very fast and in that way, I am jealous. Memphis as an area is not growing nearly as fast as Florida and the Orlando area.

8-3 or 7-4 isn't going to get him out of Memphis.

The bigger question is who's going to play QB next year. D will almost have to be better but the offense almost can't be as good.

If we were going to have a big year this was going to be it......

Not happening.

All credit to UCF.

If we played them 10 times UCF would probably win 7, at least. We have to play at our best all game long and have some luck to win - we don’t have the talent to come back from a large deficit. UCF could give most SEC teams a run for their money, except probably Alabama. They are the class of the AAC.

Was supposed to be best offense ever. Maybe still can be? I think they are pressing too much and need to relax. I have faith they will.

David Moore is set to be QB for next year unless they recruit a 4 or 5* stud to come in and don't think that's on their list.

Yeah, and last week vs. SIU should have been the time to get him game experience. We probably won't open up enough of a lead on anybody else.

I humbly told every UCF fan I talked to after the game how impressed I was with their team

The majority of UCF fans are very classy. Every fan I talked to was happy with the team performance yet extremely disappointed in their fan base for not selling out tonight.

What they have going for them is their student sections were 100% packed out. Those are their future alumni and years down the road I foresee UCF having packed out stadiums due to how active their student body participates in their games.

Probably 10,000 to 15,000 students in attendance. Very impressive to see from what many consider to be a commuter college.

IMO - UCF is no longer a commuter college based on what I saw from their student body.

I'll give credit where it's due and UCF looked fantastic tonight.

I think they will give USF their first loss

Beating Maryland by 28 on the road and then to beat us like they did deserves a Top 25 ranking this week

Good comments, thank you. I hope you enjoyed your visit to the UCF campus.

As for being a commuter school- honestly it hasn't been that way for 15 years or more. I was there starting in 2003 and it was already firmly in the "non commuter" category; most everyone I met was not from the central Florida region. Today I think UCF has the 2nd most on campus housing in the state behind UF, and that will change once they simply build next phases on dorms.

Nah. No commuters. Lol. Just like U of F.

There is a chance Riley could apply for a 6th year. This is only his 3rd year on the field. But he sat out 2 years, making this his 5th year since he started. So it would take a waiver.

That would be really, really nice if that happened.

I'm curious to see David Moore play. That obviously won't happen this year unless Riley gets hurt or has a meltdown after the UCF game. I have no clue if Moore is a great QB, but he has good mobility, which is not a gift that Ferguson has.

From what I have seen Fergie hasn't handled adversity well...Hopefully that improves.

Considering they only have 18,000 parking spaces on the entire campus to accommodate more than 10,000 faculty and staff, campus visitors, guests to the many restaurants and shops on campus, in addition to students, it doesn't sound like they have very many commuters.
