Each guy in that locker room understands their role and as great as Milton is, nobody can tell me that they are done with him now being out. I don’t care what sport or what level you are playing that sport at: going undefeated for two years in ridiculous. Ok ok....but we have to focus on the now so how does UCF do that? They simplify things and they take this game today as ONE game. See....for me UCF as crazy as this is to say has already won when it comes to the big picture. They’ve gained credibility, they’ve gained the attention of the media and they’ve given their fans something not many teams have ever given their fans and that’s a consecutive win streak that is ridiculous and hard to do. Week after week they continued to win and it comes down to today. If they lose it doesn’t diminish what they’ve done and if this were an opponent who they had never played, then sure they can get a bit nervous but this is a team they know. We’ve seen it happen a ton of times in football. The backup comes in m, no take whatsoever on this guy and he plays good enough to win. We saw it with Chase Daniel in a division game, we saw it with Brock Osweiler this year, we’ve seen it with Tom Frickin Brady folks. Nobody has any idea how good this backup QB is and rather than look at that as a bad thing, it could be a huge surprise if this kid steps out there and balls for his buddy Milton. The public is absolutely pounding Memphis thinking that this game is already over. You can’t denounce the opening line because if the books didn’t think UCF had a chance, why would they be more than a TD favorite? They knew Memphis backers would pounce that line and now the books have an absolute dream here. So many want to cap games strictly off of data yet all games aren’t won solely off of data. They just aren’t. Again, if they were how does a 73-9 GSW team lose three in a row in the finals and back to back home games in the finals? They hasn’t done that all year that year. How do they lose 6 games in two weeks when they had only lost 9 total in 5 months? How did the 16-0 Patriots Lise in the super bowl to the giants who they had beaten prior in the regular season? I can keep going but I won’t. Sorry for the essay but rather than get mad and dumbfounded like I used to as to why do many feel all games are win on paper, I just laugh. This post isn’t directed towards anyone in particular; it’s just my two cents. One piece of advice going into these games and the bowl games folks: anything can and will happen so don’t be surprised when the numbers in the paper are just that: numbers on a paper. You play in the now rather than in the past.
