ORLANDO -- The ninth-ranked Canes (4-1) will take on UCF (3-2) tonight at 7:30 p.m. In case you missed my prediction, I'm picking the Canes to win 30-16. For the rest of my pregame thoughts, check out the previous blog.

I'm incredibly tired and this game isn't helping!

Hankerson HUGE tonite...
Posted by: Caned Again | October 17, 2009 at 10:12 PM
i must say i was downing hankerson before this season started........i got to give him credit he has made me eat crow all season so far
Posted by: miateamsfan | October 17, 2009 at 10:13 PM
Big thing with Graham is soft hands (VT game notwithstanding).
Posted by: Caned Again | October 17, 2009 at 10:14 PM
nice run up the middle
Posted by: Cane in SC | October 17, 2009 at 10:14 PM
Yes. Let get that TT.
Posted by: Akguy | October 17, 2009 at 10:14 PM
TD
Posted by: Akguy | October 17, 2009 at 10:15 PM
Yessss
Posted by: Akguy | October 17, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Nice running last couple plays
Posted by: Cane in SC | October 17, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Hankerson, and all the wide outs have been great this year. But I think the quarterback play last year was the issue. Marve running around never gave them a point to expect where the ball was going to come from. Jacory has pocket presence and the recievers always had the talent.
Posted by: SJMPARMAN | October 17, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Yesssssssss!
Posted by: Akguy | October 17, 2009 at 10:16 PM
allright time to get to home depot to get some nails for ucf's coffin
Posted by: miateamsfan | October 17, 2009 at 10:17 PM
Thats it Canes finish them with a run score .
Posted by: Ignignokt | October 17, 2009 at 10:17 PM
And he doesn't get rattled.
Posted by: Akguy | October 17, 2009 at 10:17 PM
No doubt - JHarris has been a BIG reason our receivers are sooooo much better this year. But the receivers are certainly better at (a) looking the ball in and catching it (b) running better routes and (c) fighting off the initial jam and downfield blocks. Just much better play all around in the aerial game...
Posted by: Caned Again | October 17, 2009 at 10:18 PM
He has been hit way too much for me liking though. I would like to see more max protect. Those three wideouts can get open against anyone. Jacory can't keep getting hit like this especially against an inferior opponent like this.
Posted by: SJMPARMAN | October 17, 2009 at 10:20 PM
So gt offed vt... I'm about to go on break and see how bama is doing...
Posted by: Keithwpb2lv | October 17, 2009 at 10:20 PM
This is where recruiting comes in. Most of those 5 star guys don't have the grades to get into the U. That is why miami does not win in national recruiting according to rivals, etc. Trust RS, he knows what he is doing.
Posted by: Mikepete24 | October 17, 2009 at 10:21 PM
You are right Caned again.
Posted by: SJMPARMAN | October 17, 2009 at 10:21 PM
Absolutely. Now we can win the coastal with VTs loss. Coupled with OUs loss we should move up two. BCS out this week.
Posted by: Akguy | October 17, 2009 at 10:22 PM
I thought we were rooting for OU today...
Posted by: Keithwpb2lv | October 17, 2009 at 10:24 PM
OU meaning Ohio State?
Posted by: Mikepete24 | October 17, 2009 at 10:25 PM
Yes
Posted by: Akguy | October 17, 2009 at 10:28 PM
No oklahomo, they take off Texas and it helps us 2 ways... Oh well...
Posted by: Keithwpb2lv | October 17, 2009 at 10:29 PM
Why would we want OU to win. They were ranked ahead of us.
Posted by: Akguy | October 17, 2009 at 10:30 PM
Sorry I did mean Ohio state
Posted by: Akguy | October 17, 2009 at 10:30 PM
PSI
Posted by: Akguy | October 17, 2009 at 10:31 PM
if it comes down to them drawing a name out of a hat, the ACC should b ashamed.
Posted by: Nick | October 17, 2009 at 10:32 PM
i can't watch the game this suks
Posted by: Daryel | October 17, 2009 at 10:32 PM
I'm actually watching and rooting for Spurrier now!
Posted by: Akguy | October 17, 2009 at 10:33 PM
Go SC!
Posted by: Akguy | October 17, 2009 at 10:34 PM
Well they were close wins so it will help anyway, Florida barely got away too
Posted by: Keithwpb2lv | October 17, 2009 at 10:34 PM
As far as the voters go, a W is a W. Look at Boise states and cincinattis schedules, who they beat and how they're ranked.
Posted by: Akguy | October 17, 2009 at 10:36 PM
Did Cooper play tonite - don't recall hearing his name but I thought he was healthy.
Posted by: Caned Again | October 17, 2009 at 10:38 PM
I think we should be at least 7th but possibly 6th on Monday, anyone buying?
Posted by: Keithwpb2lv | October 17, 2009 at 10:38 PM
Man that phantom personal foul penalty on 96 for Arkansas today was as bad as officiating gets. Total gift to UF. If referees would fairly call the UF games, they would not be undefeated. The reciever last week held the defender on their touchdown and wasn't called. But being cheaters will catch up to them.
Posted by: SJMPARMAN | October 17, 2009 at 10:38 PM
Margin of victory counts with the bcs computer though...
Posted by: Keithwpb2lv | October 17, 2009 at 10:39 PM
Yeah - TERRIBLE officiating in the UF game. Embarassing...
Posted by: Caned Again | October 17, 2009 at 10:39 PM
We will be hurt in the BCS due to losses by OU and FSU. The computers won't like that.
Posted by: Akguy | October 17, 2009 at 10:39 PM
You have to credit Tebows feet though I think ALA will beat them.
Posted by: Akguy | October 17, 2009 at 10:41 PM
True, I wonder how the three way split will factor out, maybe the computer will freeze up...
Posted by: Keithwpb2lv | October 17, 2009 at 10:43 PM
BY has two losses. We beat GT, so we have the edge if we win out.
Posted by: Akguy | October 17, 2009 at 10:44 PM
Good job canes! Did what u needed to.
Posted by: Akguy | October 17, 2009 at 10:45 PM

Aaron Taylor is such a U hater!!!
Posted by: lefty | October 17, 2009 at 10:50 PM

Posted by: ooster | October 17, 2009 at 10:51 PM

Posted by: Mikepete24 | October 17, 2009 at 10:54 PM
