Is UCF the Big 12's DARK HORSE? How Gus Malzahn, Knights excel with RJ Harvey, KJ Jefferson at QB

Gus Malzahn experienced a tough road in UCF's first season in the Big 12, but this year, the Knights are looking to make some noise in the new-look conference. With KJ Jefferson coming in from Arkansas, the Knights are looking to shine with offensive weapons such as RJ Harvey and Kobe Hudson. Can the Knights bounce back from a tough 2023?

Charge On!

I'm an Auburn fan, and Im still bitter about us firing Malzahn. He's a helluva coach, and a wizard of a playcaller with an athletic QB. I now find myself looking for the UCF score on Saturdays lol. I hope you guys do well. I really do. He deserves better than what he got from Auburn. We were top 8-10 in recruiting most years, but that's still only good for maybe top 5 or 6 in the SEC. I don't know what year it'll be, might be this year, but I've had a gnawing feeling that UCF/Gus is a perfect, and that he's gonna take you guys to the big one. You guys will be getting a CFP playoff bid. This year. 2024. Bank it.

UCF is not. They will finish in the bottom half of the league. There is ZERO to warrant any of the hype that UCF keeps getting. 🤦‍♂

Peny boone and KJ jefferson is plenty enough

[@RCJH2022]

@@UCFFAN407 Yeah... Not buying that. Its not a good sign when you are excited about a QB who is coming off a 4-8 Sr Season.

@@RCJH2022 dude he had no OL last week. UCF is goin 7-5 at LEAST

[@savannahfan]

Make sure you don’t ghost us this fall when that comment doesn’t age well They have one of the easier schedules in the B12, they play at home or near home more than any other B12 team, they have only improved upon the 8th best offense in the nation (that had to use QB2 for five games) Go ahead, underestimate them. It will provide great laughs when I remember what you said this Fall 😂

[@RCJH2022]

@@savannahfan Yeah, yeah, sure.... You get a cupcake schedule like you have been use to for the last 20 years. 👏👏 If you don't win at least 6 games it would be embarrassing. Especially with New Hampshire, Sam Houston state and Colorado. The hype is still completely unwarranted. ...Excuses. "OuR bAcK uP" 🙄🙄 You got run out of town by KU who was playing their back up. Didn't seem to bother them. 8th best offence and 9th place going 3-6 in the conference. Don't worry, ill be here in the fall to listen to you talking shit about your 7th place finish.😂😂
