Erik Chinander

I felt much better after watching him coach up that D vs. Auburn. Given the paddy cake we have played in Lincoln for the past decade, I'll take this aggressive style. 

 
I think everyone should be done questioning chinander and the entire staff. That was a big boy team from a big boy conference with elite coaches. 

 
Lends at least a little credence to the theory that UCF's defense was just worn down at the end of the regular season from playing 12-13 weeks without a bye, not to mention against two very prolific offenses in USF and Memphis to end it.  Nobody's going to completely stifle Auburn's offense, but what they did was damned impressive.

That team (UCF) simply balled out.  Great job by the kids putting in the effort and the coaches getting them ready.  Those kids wanted it bad.

 
What ever they call the play where Auburn would line up two receivers right behind each other was defensed masterfully by UCF.  Front defender would jam the front receiver and the second defender was reaching the second receive about the same time as the ball.  Excellent film study, planning and execution.  I didn't see any strain on those plays!!!

Plus they played the USF and second Memphis game when all the Frost and company leaving drama was at its peak, may not have helped matters. 

Chin had a hell of a scheme and his rested, refocused defense executed well. 

 
I was impressed that he switched things up vs Auburn, something Diaco never did. He would press corners, blitz, zone/man etc. They aren't playing with NFL talent either.
