2023 UCF Football Recruiting Primer: Florida Prospects

Can UCF continue the trend of beating out top-notch schools for recruits? The class of 2023 will have plenty of opportunities because it's loaded. Discussing UCF's 2023 recruiting needs by position is the first secontion; going through and discussing top in-state recruiting targets would be the second. 2023 will be a chance to continue to hit the local areas – Orlando, Tampa, Cocoa, Lakeland, and Apopka – to reel in a top class. It’s also a year with even more players from across the state worthy of pursuing, and that means the Knights could sign a few more players from north or south Florida. Time will tell.

Questions, Thoughts and Concerns After UCF's Disaster at Cincinnati
Questions, Thoughts and Concerns After UCF's Disaster at Cincinnati

The biggest issue from this 56-21 loss be how the players came out and performed early in the game. Not enough energy, bad body language, and a lack of 100% effort doomed UCF from the outset. There were plenty of situations for blame on the coaching staff, but the disaster begins with the UCF players. Next, UCF's offensive game plan did not attack down the field. After bringing it up several times this week, today's game is why any college football team must attack, in a very specific way, the Cincinnati secondary. The Bearcats sit on short routes and play downhill. So what's UCF do? Throw short passes. Bad idea. UCF needed to physically beat up on Ahmad Gardner and Coby Bryant. Run the football directly at them, run Joey Gatewood directly at them, run screens with massive offensive linemen running right at them. For the most part, that did not happen. Finally, UCF's inability to play smart football led to easy situations for Cincinnati. Special teams plays like a shanked punt, a return man hesitating after catching the football, and the quarterback using a snap count that allowed the Cincinnati defenders to time up the snap and gain an advantage over the UCF offensive tackles all took place today. That's bad football and it's 100% on the players. Those are common sense issues that must be fixed before the Knights play Memphis this next Friday.
