January 1st at 1pm on ESPN

Thoughts?

[Omega]

UCF will have all the motivation? Will Joe Burreaux's Bayou Bengals have any? LSU has better talent, UCF will be on a mission. UCF 29-28.

[Chieftain2009]

Here's the chance for UCF to show they belong. Going against Joe Burrow and LSU. LSU is scoring 34 points a game and giving up 20. UCF is scoring a huge 44 per game and giving up 21.

[Chieftain2009]

UCF has come out to play in this one. They score on their first drive. Then pick six on Joe Burrow.

They lead 14-3 with 6:39 left in the 1st quarter.

[Chieftain2009]

Burrow took a massive hit on that INT, and he's right back out there. I like that! Showing some toughness.

[Chieftain2009]

UCF was starting to dominate this game, and then they make a few boneheaded mistakes on defense to keep LSU offense on the field.

Stupid penalty from a freshman. Burrow is getting rocked.

UCF defense came to play

[Chieftain2009]

What a throw and catch in the corner of the end zone. 1:27 left in the 1st quarter, LSU now trails 14-10.

[FANOSPORTS]

LSU 2 best defensive players sitting out. They'll still win this game. Receiver was held and fell down but no call on the INT return for Td.

Corner throws a punch and gets tossed.

[Chieftain2009]

LSU takes the lead back at 17-14 early in the 2nd quarter.

[Chieftain2009]

Another DB ejected, this time for UCF. Which was definitely targeting

[Chieftain2009]

Wide open TD pass for LSU. With 7:11 left in the 2nd quarter, they lead 24-14.

[Chieftain2009]

Yet another DB ejected for targeting, for LSU this time.

[Chieftain2009]

What a TD pass for UCF!!! Couldn't have been any more perfect than it was.

4 seconds left in the half, UCF cuts the lead to 24-21, and they'll get the ball first in the second half.

[Chieftain2009]

LSU takes a 24-21 lead into halftime.

[smurray]

LSU has dominated this game and only leads by 3 at the break.

[farmer]

UCF playing for it's second straight National Championship.
