Not sure how much of the game I'll get to see, but figured I'd at least get the game thread going for everyone.

tulsa wins by a last second field goal (not really but would that be something to see)

Man, Jeb, that would be redemption for their kicker if he could do that. We'll see if you're any good at predicting the future. If so, I'll be calling you for some stock market tips.

I predicted in another thread that our kicker hits 6 kicks in a row for an 18-21 score. Attempts a 7th FG on the last play of the game to send it to overtime, and misses it.

I’ve got a bad feeling about this one. The cold is not our friend.

77-7 UCF

Tulsa not going to get into the red zone much. Need TDs

Tulsa once again playing very tough.

Tulsa likes shooting itself in the foot. Not a recipe for winning vs good teams. Hence the close but no cigar or the more apt Charlie Brown missing the football on a kick season.

Does Titleist sponsor Tulsa athletics? All I see when looking at their helmets is a golfball.

The bar is set at 45-17, UCF. Whatcha gonna do?

Tulsa hangin' around thus far...

I feel confident in saying Tulsa is the best two win school in the country.

ESPN announcers just said UCF O-Line cut blocked Tulsa defender....I thought that no one else in the known universe cut blocks?

And that penalty on Tulsa was a cut block past five yards (I don't think it was)

He's been on his back a lot too

Does Tulsa know they are a 2-7 team? Still hangin' around...
