UCF vs. Florida Preview & Prediction 2021 | Gasparilla Bowl

http://fanatics.93n6tx.net/DVODYG In this video, UCF vs. Florida Preview 2021 | Gasparilla Bowl, I will breakdown the upcoming Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl between the University of Central Florida Knights of the American Athletic Conference and the Florida Gators of the SEC. This game will be played on Thursday, December 23 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL. It will kick off at 7:00pm eastern time and be televised on ESPN. In the video, I will give the odds for the game, provide both team and individual player stats, give keys to victory for each team and give my score prediction at the end of the video. The UCF Knights are looking to make a statement as they represent the Group of 5 conferences in this game against a team from the mighty SEC. They come into the game with an 8-4 record and overcame much adversity to reach this bowl game. After starting quarterback, Dillon Gabriel went down with a season ending injury, they had to rely on Freshman signal caller, Mikey Keene. Keene completed 159 of 250 passes (63.6% completion %) for 722 yards, 9 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. The Knights also played several games without their starting running back, Isaiah Bowser. Filling in the production gap left by Bowser’s absence has been Johnny Richardson. The Sophomore back has carried the ball 101 times for 693 yards, for an average of 6.9 yards per carry. He’s also scored 3 touchdowns. The leading receiver for UCF is Ryan O’Keefe, who has 77 receptions for 727 yards and 6 touchdowns. Defensively, the Knights are led by Defensive Lineman, Big Kat Bryant, who has 6 sacks, 48 tackles and 14 tackles for loss on the season. At the start of the season, it appeared that the Florida Gators would have a really good season and compete for the SEC Championship. They started with a 3-1 record, with that lone loss being a 2 point loss to Alabama. However, they faltered down the stretch, even seeing Head Coach Dan Mullen get fired halfway through the season. They won their last game against in-state rival, Florida State, to earn bowl eligibility. Leading the way offensively is quarterback, Emory Jones. Jones has completed 210 of 310 passes (67.7% completion) for 2,563 yards & 19 touchdowns. However, Jones has also thrown 13 interceptions. Helping ease the pain of those interceptions is the fact that Jones also leads the team in rushing. He has carried the ball 133 times for 697 yards for an average of 5.2 yards per carry. He has also scored 4 rushing touchdowns. Jones has decided to enter the transfer portal after this game. Florida Wide Receiver, Jacob Copeland, has already entered the portal and will not play in the game. How will this impact the Gators’ chances of winning? I’ll tell you my opinion at the end of the video. #UCFKnights #FloridaGators #GasparillaBowl Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 00:55 - Odds 01:10 - Team Stats 05:01 - Individual Player Stats 11:14 - Keys to Victory for UCF 12:17 - Keys to Victory for Florida 13:45 - Score Prediction 15:04 - Outro Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/couz206 Subscribe: https://youtube.com/c/CouzsCornerSports This channel is dedicated to covering college football and basketball, with a big focus on the West Virginia Mountaineers.
