I LOVE UCF covering at home against Alabama. I think a lot of people are going to look at this line and wonder why the Knights are getting so much respect against a Crimson Tide team that is 5-1. It's because this UCF team is the real deal and I think it's only a matter of time before they are ranked in the Top 25.
Not only is UCF stout on D but they play a very slow tempo (#310). Bama does not press the pace as they are #186 on tempo and this is their first true road game and the do with a young PG that had to replace Collin Sexton who is starting for the Cavs!

The Knights won 19 games last year, despite their 3 best players (Aubrey Dawkins, Tacko Fall, and B.J. Taylor) all missing significant time. All 3 are healthy for the time being and arguably the best trio in the AAC. Don't be fooled by Alabama's win over Wichita State, as the Shockers lost basically their entire team from last year and are likely going to be in rebuilding mode for at least this season. This is hands down the best team the Tide have faced and it's also Alabama's first true road game. I fully expect the Knights to take control of this game early and win here by double-digits.
