Defense / Receiver

With ten starters coming back on defense, Coach O'Leary has all the makings for another BCS run. The rushing defense has been especially stiff and the secondary is primed for a special season dotted with two All-Conference selections in Glenn and Geathers. Three of these defensive backs are seniors. Granted quarterback Blake Bortles had much to do with passing success at UCF but all of these receivers will be back in the fold once again. Whoever throws the passes next fall will have that luxury.

Offensive Line / Quarterback

The one area that will have coaches working overtime in the off-season is the offensive line. It's the one area that has the capability of costing UCF another championship. This group wasn't exactly dominating in 2013 and the upcoming campaign will be dealing with plenty of fresh faces. The running backs are stacked but this was still only the nation's 79th ranked rushing attack. UCF will be looking for some road grinders up front. Quarterback Blake Bortles declared early for the NFL, which really put a damper on preseason expectations.
