InsideMDSports: UCF QB's Status Uncertain Ahead of Maryland Matchup

http://maryland.247s...atchup-47427094

 

UCF Knights (1-1, 0-0 American Athletic Conference)

Win(s): South Carolina State

Loss(es): @ Michigan

 

Head Coach: Scott Frost (1st year)

Spent the previous 8 years on Oregon's coaching staff.

 

Offense (Spread)

Frost has brought Oregon's infamous up-tempo spread offense to UCF with him. If Holman is unable to go for the Knights, they'd turn to senior backup QB Nick Patti, who has attempted 18 passes so far this season.

 

​Offensive Coordinator: Troy Walters (1st year)

160.5 Passing Yards per Game (109th in Nation)

238.0 Rushing Yards per Game (27th in Nation)

26.0 Points per Game (83rd in Nation)

 

QB Justin Holman - 17/39, 212 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT; 19 carries, 86 yards, 1 TD

RB Dontravious Wilson - 23 carries, 96 yards, 2 TD; 2 catches, 10 yards, 0 TD

RB Jawon Hamilton - 26 carries, 92 yards, 0 TD; 1 catch, 2 yards, 0 TD

WR Tre'Quan Smith - 4 catches, 65 yards, 1 TD

WR Dredrick Snelson - 3 catches, 44 yards, 0 TD; 1 carry, 1 yard, 0 TD

TE Jordan Akins - 2 catches, 52 yards, 0 TD

 

Defense (4-3)

Chinander brings his version of Oregon's 4-3 multiple front defense with him to UCF. This unit shut out South Carolina State, but allowed 51 points to Michigan last weekend.

 

Defensive Coordinator: Erik Chinander (1st year)

25.5 Points Allowed per game (70th in Nation)

 

DL Trysten Hill - 5 tackles (2.0 for loss), 0.0 sacks, 0 forced fumbles

DL Tony Guerad - 4 tackles (0.5 for loss), 0.0 sacks, 0 forced fumbles

LB Mark Rucker - 14 tackles (0.0 for loss), 0.0 sacks, 0 forced fumbles, 0 INT

LB Chequan Burkett - 14 tackles (1.0 for loss), 0.0 sacks, 0 forced fumbles, 0 INT

DB T.J. Mutcherson - 7 tackles (3.0 for loss), 1.0 sacks, 0 forced fumbles, 0 INT

DB D.J. Killings - 5 tackles (1.0 for loss), 0.0 sacks, 0 forced fumbles, 0 INT

This could be a difficult matchup for the Terps' run defense that gave up a lot of yards against Fla Intl. Everything else would seem to favor MD though.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Surprised at that spread given it's a road game.

[BSLZackKiesel]

 

Here is the depth chart for this game. There are very few changes:

 

• QB Gage Shaffer is healthy, and is now listed as a co-backup to Perry Hills.
• DL Brett Kulka is now listed as a co-starter at DT with Cavon Walker.
• DB RaVon Davis is now listed as a co-starter at both Field Corner and Nickle Corner.
• DB Elijah Daniels is now listed as a co-starter at Nickle Corner.
• DB Jarrett Ross is missing from the depth chart.
• RB Jake Funk is no longer listed as a co-starter at FS.
• LS Matt Oliviera has won the job outright over Nate Adams.

Game preview is up! Pretty classic, I take a look at UCF and Maryland, and give my keys to the game.

Interesting article about Perry Hillis working out with former Redskin Gus Frerotte in the offseason.

@osknights

Just got it confirmed from a very reliable source that McKenzie Milton will indeed start today.

[BSLChrisStoner]

8 minutes of clock time left in this San Diego State / Northern Illinois game... I'm thinking we are going to miss a good portion of the beginning of MD / UCF.

@romanstubbs Sep 15

Terps WR DeAndre Lane will play Saturday at UCF after missing last week with concussion. Taivon Jacobs is still out. No word on his return.

Greetings from Orlando. Terps-UCF kicks off in 20 mins. Maryland trying for first 3-0 start since 2013.

Anyone find a decent stream online?

7:07 kick.

[BSLChrisStoner]

CBS Announcer apparently doesn't know that UCF lost last week at Michigan.

[BSLChrisStoner]

3rd and 1, and much more picked up for UCF.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Fumble... Braglio recovers!

[BSLChrisStoner]

Flea flicker goes incomplete.

Hills rolls out and is crushed.

[BSLChrisStoner]

MD to punt.  Ugly looking series.
