UCF is a good team, but we are better. Their 3 wins are against Sam Houston, New Hampshire, and TCU.
Their TCU win was by 1 point and TCU missed a FG as the clock expired.
Since those 3 wins, they have lost 4 in a row, including:
- A blowout loss to Colorado at home, losses to Cincinnati and Florida, and the Iowa State game on Saturday.
Their best game was against Iowa State, but they still gave up 530 yards on defense, had only 62 yards passing, and were dominated on time of possession. 2 turnovers and an explosive running TD kept them in it, but they still came up short.
BYU's rushing defense gives up fewer yards per game than Iowa State, fewer yards per play, and has caused more fumbles on rushing plays.
On paper, we should be able to move the ball enough to score freely and slow down their rushing attack enough for a comfortable win.
