Our Stat line isn't great... in fact the 2 stat lines were we are excelling at is Pass Efficienc Defense and Turnovers..
https://stats.ncaa.org/teams/589033

Team Passing Efficiency Defense we are ranked #4 in the country
Scoring Defense #26
Turnover Margin #17
Rushing Defense #64
3rd Down Conversion Pct Defense #102
Total Defense #30

Total Offense #61
Rushing Offense #73
Passing Offense #56
Pass Efficiency Offense #44
Scoring Offense #23.

All in all... our Turnover Margin is what is generating our offense and defense scoring total. Defense is solid outside of the 3rd down conversion which has been a problem now for 3 games straight.

Compare that to UCF: https://stats.ncaa.org/teams/589038
Total Offense #14
Total Rushing Offense #3
Total Passing Offense #110
Scoring Offense #48

Rush Defense #32
Pass Defense #107
Pass Efficiency Defense #71

3rd down conversion defense: #106
3rd down conversation offense #91
Turnover Margin #93

So UCF's biggest issue appears to be Turnovers, which is our strength. But dang their run offense is really good and we have our work cut out for us. It's going to take a Mammoth sized discipline on defense if we are going to slow down their running game. Glasker and Kelly have to man the edges better, Taggart needs to watch for the dives... and for heaven sake Batty and Bagnah need to stop crashing on the ends and our interior defense have taken enough games off now where they should start doing something.
Scoring Defense #77.

Our defense needs to not be so pin the ears back and go, but more contain and tackle.
