Notes
Killed WVU, 550+ yds to 200, Run/Pass both great
Stopped bleeding now 4-3 into bye, can they bowl?
Off Success #'s poor but Expl high, all or nothing
Killed NC, Jackson looked decent, Def was great
QB T Jackson played OK w/ Fancher hurt (Jax St)
Run game alarmingly bad in opener vs Jax St
QB1 Fancher (FAU) wins starting job in camp
New staff, over 70 newcomers, big mystery
UCF 13th in YPP margin, +108 YPG in '24
UCF was 1-3 in 1 score games LY
