I will pay the price of a few UR calls for this defense...they are playing aggressive and getting after it.

You can be physical without being stupid/undisciplined.

Trading one negative for another solves nothing.

To those wondering why the crowd sounds quiet…
1. Crowd doesn't know how to respond to a fast start
2. We're 2-3 in conference play with only 2 winnings seasons under our 6th year head coach

I don't think these announcers know that grounding is a spot foul.

The result would be exactly the same whether it's a sack or grounding.

The defense really deserves this first half shut out. I hope UCF doesn't luck into some points here.

Totally lost track of the game because of unexpected phone stuff.

What the hell is going on here?

Playing for three points when down 20 is odd. It's three scores either way.

In a weird turn of events, BU is winning going into the half.

So much for that. This team is back to cruising after the initial desperation. Huge mental blocks

Good half all in all. But we lost a little intensity late. Need to pick it back up after half.

We've dominated...but if UCF scores on their opening drive out of the half it's suddenly a 10 point game

Ask me before the game and you bet I'd take a 20-3 lead at halftime.

We cannot play full games… ever… even against teams way worse than us like OSU, Samford, LIU the other season
