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.

Bortles also seems to match the conventional Brady, Hackenberg-type of QB O'Brien has always had in his system. I will not be shocked to see Bortles leap frog the other guys before all is said and done.
