This season's game to look forward to the most
I'm looking forward to the Mizzou game and probably the FIU games the most. We really need these games. Hoping for some W's.

UCF v Ohio State. I think the Buckeyes will win, but I'll be rooting for the Knights! I am still trying to get a chance to go to the game.

Definitely Mizzou. Any time you have a decent shot at taking down an SEC team (that's not one of the bottom feeders) is a good opportunity.
Southern Miss is second. They have had our number, it would be nice to end the series on a high note.

RE: This season's game to look forward to the most
It is easy to pick OSU and Missourri as the games to watch, and admittedly they are large, but I want to see how they play against ECU on five days rest, especially if they happen to come out of the first four games 3-1. They have always been a tough game and with them being the first CUSA game, should be even tougher.

I agree, there are some big OOC games that are easy to pick, but I think it's most important to win CUSA on the way out the door. So I say: ECU and USM

RE: This season's game to look forward to the most
I just want to make sure we accomplish two things:
Beat Marshall for the 8th and final time in C-USA
Beat both USM and ECU for the first and last time in C-USA
Really, winning the OOC games are a perk (necessity in the case of Akron and FIU). Doesn't mean I don't really really really want to win them, but I understand that beating the aforementioned teams is #1 priority.

Easier said than done. UCF would have a hellavu record if we actually won the ones we were supposed to win.

As much as I would love to keep the streak going against Marshall, I just feel bad for them at this point. Since we both moved to CUSA, they've had to watch us win 2 out of 3 championship games, get paraded around as the easy invite to the BE while they were never mentioned, watched us steal their coach when we wanted a new one, and got beat by us even in our worst years.
I would not mind losing to Marshall this year, it would give them some dignity back.
Beat USM and ECU for the first time? Um, I thought we did that already.

Ah, that makes more sense. I thought to myself, "I must be missing something, because there is no way that Kruciff is that uninformed about our record."
