You forgot to mention two other MAJOR UCF losses on offense; Cliff McCray and LJ Anderson. They were both slated as starters on the offensive line. Couple that loss with the graduation of Josh Sitton, that's a lot of beef lost on the line.

Does this mean we get a shorter passing game?
People who saw Dante remember most of his passes were using short accurate passes to the talent guys. West Coast type offense.
Sometimes the Knight throw a few short ones. Greco did it against SMU.
I just think the offense is in way over it's head.

Yeah, good insight... the offense is "veering toward predictability"- Anyone paying attention knows that the offense has been predictable since O'leary took over.
2 years ago, we couldnt tackle anyone, now we cant get a first down. If we are going to make it to 6-6, we gotta stop throwing 2 yard out patterns on 3rd and 7.

" UCF's play calling is veering dangerously toward predictable." Thanks for being kind Iliana, but the offense passed being dangerously close to predictable 2 years ago. The idfference is that last year there was an excellent, experienced offensive line, and we had Kevin Smith. Kevin ran the ball more than 450 times last year, thats beyond predictable, but no one could stop him. Part of the problem seems that the Coaching staff is unwilling to work with the talent they have. The play makers on this offense are at the wide receiver position, yet UCF only passes the ball 35.8 percent of the time on first down. The Coaches need to adjust their game plan and get the ball in the hands of the play makers. A West Coast style offense sounds idea.

Every throw was either over, under, in front, or behind the receivers. If he actually DID get it in the same hemisphere as a receiver, it was a 5 yard bullet. What team is Calabrese playing for anyway? My MOM could have made some of those throws!

O'Leary better use the bye week to figure it out, with the conference schedule upcoming. Six tough games starting with Tulsa, who can move the ball against anyone. If they don't start scoring some points the Knights will lose most or all of those games. This could be a 3-9 year. If that happens then it's time for a coaching change.

Before everyone gets their panties in a wad about the performance of UCF Football on the field, let's remember that they are also Student Athletes. While I believe they will improve their "young" offense. Here is a reminder of why we love UCF Athletics so much and the success they have on and off the field.
"Just 56 percent of football players who entered USF between 1998 and 2001 graduated in six years. That compares with the national average of 67 percent in Division 1-A football.
It's also the worst graduation rate among Big East football teams.
In men's basketball, it's worse. At USF, the graduation rate among student-athletes in that sport was 42 percent, compared to the national Division I average of 62 percent.
USF's graduation rates among student-athletes in those sports have fallen while national averages have improved. NCAA figures from last year showed that USF's football players had a graduation rate of 61 percent. That rate dropped five percentage points this year.
Administrators have acknowledged the challenge in turning around the academic performance of their student-athletes, but say their reforms — which impressed the NCAA — need time to work.
Early last school year, the university revoked much of the discretion coaches had in recruiting athletes with poor grades and test scores by forming a faculty committee charged with vetting academically risky prospects before admitting them. The school's undergraduate studies division also took oversight of the Athletic Department's academic support network of tutors and advisers.
USF leaders also have pointed to the stronger performance among women athletes in other sports. Ninety-three percent of softball players, for instance, who entered USF between 1998 and 2001 graduated in six years. That's seven percentage points higher than the national average".
It's good to know my degree is worth much more than USF's, thanks to our Student Athletes. Wins and Championships will come because UCF does it right.

Calabrese did seem to improve a little as the game went on. Instead of passes landing at the feet of receivers, he was hitting them in stride. Once he learns to have some "touch", I think he will be fun to watch.

So what? You quoted USF's horrible stats, what are UCF's? The quality of a UCF (or any other school's) degree has nothing to do with the football program.
