Every opinion you just gave is also premature.No biggie. UCF DID beat Auburn the year before and the truth is Heupel inherited a dang good team from Frost.
Hanging too much on any one game for a coach is a bad idea and Heupel is going to struggle in the SEC against high quality players and coaches because ALL coaches struggle in the SEC. There's Vandy as a gimme but mostly there's a lot of talent on the field and very talented coaching.
Saying anything else is premature. Reading too much in from his AAC days is a little silly. Going back to his Miz days is reaching a point where he didn't have full control.
He's a bit of a wild card, Hail Mary hire for an SEC school.
