UCF could lose to Navy
We all hope UCF/USF all win out going into Black Friday, that game will be guaranteed on Gameday, imagine what that could do to our conference. But, I have to admit that Navy game next Saturday is big challenge, reasons:
1: It's a road game, and navy academy has a killing atmosphere for visiting teams;
2: UCF is not playing well in cold weather. Remember what happened in Uconn on 2014, admitted it or not, cold weather simply does not suit UCF, and I fully expect the offense of UCF could be stalled and the whole team just all of sudden becomes difference.

1. All road games are a challenge
2.Totally different team than the 2014 team. There's no historical transitive property to this team because the 2014 team struggled in a cold rain game in 2014....
3. If we weren't concerned about Navy, I'd be concerned. They're a good team.

Cold weather won't be a problem.
Saturday's forecast for Annapolis is 76° with a low of 60°.

Respectfully disagree. Coach Frost has this team focused, Memphis beat them and you saw what we did to Memphis. They are primarily a run oriented one dimensional team, and run defense is our strength. Our offense should put up 40+ points, and I just don't see them putting up that many points on our "D." Coach Chin will scheme for the unique run game of Navy and so long as the team doesn't get swollen heads and remains focused, I think we win on the road by 20+ points.

We need to make this a complementary event.
A’-Navy can beat UCF
/A- Navy can’t beat UCF
That should complete this

I think 20 points being a little over optimistic, I believe the final score would be within one TD. But, with all due respect, Navy does have a QB problem, after reviewing their game at Memphis, I believe they should be concerned.

RE: UCF could lose to Navy
I mean, we can lose to anybody on any given week. I've been a UCF fan long enough to know that. Just got to bring it every week and so far, our kids have done that every week and haven't slept on anybody.
I'm comforted that Frost is very familiar with the triple option and the team already had a week of practice preparing for Georgia Tech so what they practice this week shouldn't be foreign to them. Navy has a hell of a team, so who knows! I like our chances though.

RE: UCF could lose to Navy
There's no indication that our team is overlooking Navy. Our fans are obviously elated but we aren't suiting up on Saturday and we pay people lots of money to make sure those who do are focused. So far we have no reason to think they won't be.
Offense has too many weapons to have a let down and defense frankly shouldn't even feel smug after Cincinnati and ECU, let alone that this is the game every defense knows is going to be a monster

this post has lack of understanding on the triple option...
the triple option rarely reflects on how good you are or how well you beat other teams...its sole based on how good you handle the triple option and assignment football...
stopping traditional offenses and stopping the triple option are completely different things, so bragging about your "D" when you arent sure how it will look vs option...
how one team handles the option is not a represenation on how you will
and if you cant stop the option, you wont score 40 either....they will have 9 minute drives and kill large amounts of game time..when they beat ND.. nd had 5 drives for the entire game

Thanks- we will send these to our staff. Our HC ran the triple option in college but he probably didn’t consider any of this yet.

I'm rooting for UCF to run the table, but this is the quintessential post made before any upset.
Transitive logic - check
We "should" do something (put up 40+ points), based on nothing - check
Baseless assumption that another team's strength can't out-strength your strength - check
Empty platitude ("Coach has us focused") - check

There is nothing one-dimensional about the triple option. This is the biggest threat we've faced outside of Memphis and we need to take Navy very seriously, and SMU as well.

RE: UCF could lose to Navy
UCF will likely win, but it definitely could be very close. The main reason is Navy eats up huge chunks of clock. They simply don't give you the ball. You could average 50 points a game and struggle to get 30 on them, because your number of possessions could get cut in half. I expect UCF to win, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Navy did. Every year, everyone doubts Navy, and every single year, they have an excellent team.

RE: UCF could lose to Navy
Navy's biggest threat is Navy. If we don't have many turnovers then we're pretty tough. If we do, then we can lose to anyone. Memphis played well so I'm not taking anything away from them. But if we could just hold on to the ball it would have been a very different game.
