1. The UCF defense dominates

UCF has been inconsistent at best on defense this season. This is largely due to opt outs, injuries and dismissals. All of this has manifested in a youth movement on defense, inability to adjust on the fly and chaotic plays.

Against USF, the UCF defense should dominate, if only because that’s what everyone does to the Bulls. The Bulls have no semblance of an offensive line, and still haven’t found a quarterback going into the final week of their season. It’s a mess that UCF’s defense is excited to take advantage of.

In their dominance over USF, the UCF defense will get what they have always thrived on during their rise in the Group of Five. They’ll disrupt USF in the backfield and force multiple turnovers. In fact, you can expect no less than ten tackles for loss and three turnovers forced by the UCF defense, all of which will add up to a blowout win for UCF.
