Something that just occurred to me is that Mason, when asked about how he changed the defensive scheme to be so much more effective, cited the Arizona game in 2012 that took an otherworldly effort from Nunes for us to pull out in OT. Maybe Bloomgren will follow his example...
Nunes was playing against an Arizona defense that was 122nd out of 124 teams in total defense that season. Hogan and the offense will be going up against a UCF team that was 3rd in the country in yards per game allowed in 2014 (two spots ahead of Stanford). If Stanford puts up 600 yards on UCF as Nunes did vs. Arizona, we should all feel much better about the offense!

UCF lost to Florida International which was 1-11 two years ago and 4-8 last year. UCF took a 14-0 lead, then fizzled and couldn't adjust. That was a home game for UCF, btw.
If we don't win by 3 TDs...

We'll be up by 3 TDs midway through 2nd 1/4 and then coast into an agonizingly conservatively 34-31 win in the last few minutes.
