Well with a tropical depression sitting in the gulf, it is likely to be low. :P

I think that works against us. With low barometric pressure, the air pressure inside the ball will be higher relative to the outside pressure, making the ball a bit bigger and harder. That will make it a little tougher to catch and kick (with accuracy), things we had some trouble with in game 1.

Moot point, a larger ball is harder to hold on to, meaning a higher propensity to fumble, something FIU had troubles with in game 1.

On a serisou note, it is supposed to be wet tomorrow, and both teams are spread/pass oriented. Rain makes the field slower, just wondering how that will play out for both of these teams.

George's article Dreadful stat

That wasn't the Andre Jones return, was it? I know that was a directional Michigan school.

The Andre Jones return was in Kalamazoo against Western Michigan (2007?). I believe the EMU game from 2008 cited here is the one where the Eag-rons blocked a UA FG late in the game, but our holder (and punter, but can't think of his name right now) picked off the deflected ball and ran for a key 1st down.

Yeah, OSU has been playing like they are dis-interested for a majority of this game. Still....impressed with how physical of a team UCF is for a CUSA team.

Don't know why, but I am having a good feeling about the game tonight. I think we shore up a lot of issues that plagued us last week.

not sure your point. I dont care about Ohio or Penn State

Sorry. I only replied to your post because I didn't think UCF had a chance to come back.

I brought up Penn State because of all the OhioU fans that have been saying BCS ever since the win. A PSU loss again shows how bad their team is this year, and that beating them really means nothing.

UCF is a better team than most think. As good as a number of Big 10 teams.

As far as the Zips,TB is still looking fo for players. He has thrown down the gauntlet at RB. Chisholm won't be playing much unless he learns how to run. Some of the WR's will be looking for more PT also if they don't step up in the next couple of weeks. The LB's and DL's are going to be a revolving door until they can stop the run.

It's one thing for the Zips to lose, but to not even be competitive? there's no excuses...

TB has got some key positions he can't trust. RB,WR,LB yet. The D is going to be weak all season. But,if QB continues to improve and he can find a RB who will run N/S and can catch they can get into some shootouts in the MAC and sneak up on some folks. Sorry,tonight...
