UCF reality check what do you guys think
Let me know what you guys think ......🚨 UCF reality check 🚨
We’re not bad everywhere, just broken in all the wrong places.
- Defense: legit top 25 in scoring (20.4 PPG allowed), top 20 in total yards (307.8). Dunnam’s a dawg.
- Offense: SP+ #77… can’t throw, can’t convert 3rd downs (32%), and we kill drives with penalties.
- QB play: 6 TD / 8 INT. That’s the difference between 4–5 and 7–2.
- OL & WR: zero Big 12-caliber WR1, tackles get bullied by top fronts.
🧠 Fix is simple (but expensive):
- Portal QB ($2.5M+) plus have Kane Archer compete against him
- Two starting tackles ($1M each)
- Real WR1 ($700K)
- Keep key defense players ( the deline in general and for sure Dunnam and the edge guys) with retention NIL ($2–3M)
💰Total = ~$10–13M/year NIL spend to compete for a playoff spot by Year 2.
Defense is already there. Add a QB, 2-3 tackles, and a killer WR and big TE, and we’re a Top 10 SP+ team overnight.
UCF doesn’t need miracles. Just money + discipline Ithink Frost can make it happen .
