UCF Has A Bowl Jump Path Through Alonza Barnett.

Context The show is over 5.5 on UCF because the Knights were bowl-adjacent in Year 1 despite red-zone issues, penalties, turnovers, and a massive roster reset. Dan likes the home-field edge, pass-defense proof, Florida speed, and a Year 1-to-Year 2 jump. Ty adds that Alonza Barnett III gives Scott Frost the movement and edge-speed quarterback the offense wants.

The unresolved variable is pass rush. If UCF cannot generate pressure, the returning pass-defense foundation gets defanged.
