--- So after last week's loss on the road to Louisville, it was time for us to welcome fellow Florida dweller, UCF, into town. Hoping to lift up the team and coming out strong after the loss last week, and with it being a fellow Florida team for our opponent, Coach Cristobal decided to change things up this week and pull out the special uniforms. Instead of the usual Navy jersey/Navy pants combo we wear for all of our home games, Coach decided it was time to break out the black jerseys.
We come running out of the tunnel before the game, ready to play in the nice, bright, hot, rain? Our third week in a row in the rain. We won the coin toss, elected to kick. The rain pretty much made things impossible to move on offense. Three straight punts combined to start the game. However, it would be UCF to find the scoreboard first thanks to a fumble by Darriet Perry on 1st and 10 from our own 10 yard line, setting UCF for an easy touchdown.
Another quick drive by UCF and that would be it for the first half as neither offense could get anything going after that. After halftime, it got nothing but worse...
After the game, Coach Cristobal announced that this was the last time this season that we were going to wear the black jerseys. So much for hoping they'd fire up our team.
With the loss, we drop into a 0-3 hole to start the season, while UCF gets back on the winning track and improves to 2-1. Up next on our schedule, our second conference opponent of the season, UL Lafayette. The Ragin' Cajuns come into the game with a 1-2 record, opening the season with a 35-7 loss at #7 Oklahoma State and a 20-17 loss at Kent State, before they finally broke into the win column with a 33-13 victory over Nicholls State.
