Sentinel Sports Final

Wednesday, September 25, 2024

UCF's matchup with Colorado is about more than just one game. The Knights are expect to host a record number of recruits at FBC Mortgage Stadium. It's about winning. It 's about optics. A win isn't just a win. Doing it with a certain style and an electric atmosphere counts, too. Might not matter to you, but it certainly does to impressionable 18 year olds. ... Is it just me or are the Dolphins handing out concussions like the Oprah Winfrey Show? "You get a concussion...you get a concussion....you get a concussion." Tua has plenty of company this week. ... Maybe the Jags are being asked the wrong questions. Maybe this 9-8 team that made a postseason run two seasons ago is exactly what that record says: 9-8 (at best). They were 9-8 last season, too, with the only difference being they missed the postseason (Jim Mora Sr. voice: "Playoffs? You kidding me? Playoffs? I just hope we can win a game."). ... The swag is back in Coral Gables? When they invite Luther Campbell back to the sidelines, they'll be all the way back. I wanna see Randall Hill and Lamar Thomas turning it up with him. I'd much rather watch another installment of ESPN's 30-for-30 series on the 'Canes winning and grinning again. That was fun. Can't be a bunch of Pearl Purehearts after the program hitched its wagon to disgraced mega-booster John Ruiz and the NIL nonsense of the last few years. And the losing.

If UCF can ‘seize the moment’ on national stage vs. Colorado, that can pay dividends with recruits, too

A win not only would keep the Knights undefeated and move them up the Big 12 ladder, a record number of high school recruits would be on hand see it at FBC Mortgage Stadium.
