I like the hire of new coach James Franklin and there is no doubt that Christian Hackenberg is a very promising QB.<\/p>\n This year they are still ineligible for postseason play so many are saying they are treating this game like a bowl game. I get the parallel but playing so far from home and so early in the season I am not sure the comparisons are fair. This will be a fun kick off for Saturday though.<\/p>\n Hackenberg may be playing on Sunday soon enough but he is missing his top receiver from a year ago and might find that this UCF secondary is as good as any he will face all season long.<\/p>\n They will probably have more success on the ground in this one but will it be enough to win. Not sure whose idea it was to play this one in Ireland but I don\u2019t think that is going to help PSU. The Knights enter this season looking to show the depth of the program. \u00a0It is easy to say last year was the best season of its existence with 12 victories, a conference championship and a BCS Bowl win. Then they had their quarterback selected near the top of the draft.<\/p>\n With all those accolades and exoduses there could definitely be a hangover effect coming into the season. There is still a lot of talent down in Orlando but they will need to focus as well.<\/p>\n It looks like Pete DiNovo is going to get the early nod to replace Blake Bortles and if he can be competent the Knights should be able to compete well in the AAC.<\/p>\n There is a ton of athletic talent returning on defense and the offense has more than enough skill at receiver and running back. They just need someone to drive the car and not crash so to speak.<\/p>\n Love the value on UCF in this one. Sure their QB is an unknown at this point but they have lots of other advantages all over the field. The location has no real advantage for either side and the Knights beat PSU last year too.<\/p>\n\n
