UCF Knights prepare for a new era as Alonzo Barnett takes the reins at quarterback, sparking debate over his dual-threat potential. Can Barnett’s dynamic running ability—after a standout 600-yard rushing season at JMU—transform UCF's offense in the Big 12, or will heavy reliance on his legs signal deeper issues for the Knights? Host Mike G, joined by Kyle Nash and Andrew Gluco, break down Barnett’s fit in Scott Frost’s system, comparing him to former UCF star McKenzie Milton. The crew discusses the importance of balanced, two-dimensional football and the risks of one-dimensional play against elite Big 12 defenses.
