Saturday’s 36-3 stomping of Syracuse was the kind of win bound to make UCF-homers furious. The day was for them, with GameDay in the bounce house and giving full play to the story lines as pretend as their claim to a national championship. Earlier in the week, their quarterback took to the 1’s and 0’s to pop off about his team being every bit better than Ian Book’s. When the night ended, and crows covered Cincinnati’s corpse, UCF had its statement win over a top twenty-five team.
Except no one with an ounce of sense cared.
