UCF Football: 3 reasons the Knights will beat Louisville in Week 3

1. Dillon Gabriel

One player can be the main reason a team wins? If he’s as good as Dillon Gabriel, absolutely.

Gabriel has been really solid this season through two games despite his two interceptions. He’s been darn good through two games, completing over 65 percent of his passes for 630 yards and six touchdowns with two interceptions. His two picks against Boise State in the opener weren’t great, but he bounced back against Bethune-Cookman, throwing two touchdown passes with no interceptions.

If Gabriel is on his ‘A’ game, UCF is very tough to beat — just ask Boise State.

Gabriel struggled in the first quarter and a half against Boise State and the Broncos built a strong lead and then he came on and UCF owned the final 2.5 quarters.

I see the junior quarterback passing for over 300 yards again with three touchdowns, approaching 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns on the year following a big win.

Louisville is going to have a nightmare of a time trying to stop Gabriel.
