Looking ahead, if Bill O'Brien is indeed hired as the Texans HC, then Blake Bortles really becomes a person of interest for us. Bortles and UCF beat O'Brien's PSU in September as Bortles was 20-27 for 288 yds and 3 TDs in the game. Bortles is a junior, so he'd need to declare.
Also... UCF's HC, George O'Leary, was once O'Brien's boss at Georgia Tech (and for a long time too... '95-'01). Gotta figure O'Brien came away impressed by Bortles watching him firsthand this year AND will get the straight scoop on Bortles from O'Leary if and when he asks for it.
UCF plays Baylor on 1/1 at 7:30p on ESPN.
