It was a bit over a minute left, and UCF's offense can score in seconds. Had a TD put us up 14 I think they would have gone for the TD. The plan worked flawlessly until the bad snap. Had Ridder got the snap he would have ran backward for two seconds and took a knee...and that is ball game. We saw the same thing last weekend in the Browns game where the Browns RB ran out of bounds instead of scoring a TD on a 60 yard run.

I disagree-- because on 2nd and 3rd down, UC would have been better served running a sweep and taking more time off of the clock than having Doaks run up the gut. 2 more seconds on each play and 4th down doesn't happen. If it was a flawless plan-- UC never would have had to snap the ball on 4th down. I mean Doaks came inches away from scoring a TD on 3rd down.

And can someone tell me why UC just didn't take the delay of game penalty on 4th down? Let the clock go down to zero, and then set yourself for the final play-- instead of rushing that final play. There is no difference between being @ the 1 or 6 yard line of UCF and you take that extra second off of the clock.

TAKE THE FREAKING DELAY OF GAME PENALTY.


Got the win-- it's all that matters-- but *** **** UC always making it hard on themselves.

4 offsides-- 2 fumbled punts, 2 dropped passes. 1 unnecessary PI call on Wiggins on 4th and 11. Some questionable play calling forcing UC to settle for FG's.

Even after not playing well-- UC still got the win. Hell yeah. Now I don't have to fear facing UCF in the AAC Championship game.

I think they would have took the TD on 3rd down with 44 second left. At that point UCF basically doesn’t have enough time left.

Would be interesting what the 4th down call was. Was he just running sideways or backwards or trying to score knowing they wouldn’t have enough time either way?

Coach Fickell said they would have handed it off to Doaks

To me, they wanted to be clear of 40 seconds then they'd score. IMO their ideal situation was a TD on that 4th down play with zeroes on the clock.
