Gus Malzahn getting roasted after UCF's last second loss to Louisville
Gus Malzahn’s 3-game tenure has seen just about everything so far — a huge and exciting win over Boise State, a comfortable win over Bethune Cookman, and now, a head-scratching and heartbreaking walk-off loss to Louisville.
Malzahn’s Knights were tied 35-35 when Cardinals quarterback Malik Cunningham threw an inexplicable interception, setting up the potential game-winning drive by UCF at Louisville’s 40-yard-line.

Next, however, Knights quarterback Dillon Gabriel threw his own tipped-pass interception, except this one went to the end zone for a game-winning pick-6 with just 6 seconds left.

Under Gus Malzahn, UCF’s offense hasn’t looked like it did even in the Josh Heupel era — and especially the Scott Frost era. Naturally, fans took to social media to express their concerns and doubts about Malzahn.
Gus Malzahn has really handcuffed the UCF offense. It doesn’t look anything like the UCF offense we’re all used to seeing. Seeing Gabriel check down all night is sad… #disappointed

@UCF @UCFKnights is paying Gus Malzahn 11.5 million a year on a 5-year contract, haha. There’s a reason we called dude the finesse god in the @SEC

I still can’t get over Gus Gus-ing up that game. No reason they shouldn’t have won, but you know what? That’s Gus Malzahn for you. Still can’t believe it.

Goodnight to everyone but Gus Malzahn and the rest of UCF’s play calling staff. I hope you wake up 50 times in the middle of the night for no reason and that your pillow is warm on both sides 🥰

So many UCF fans angry with glorified elementary PE coach Gus Malzahn…
SEC fans were telling y’all he wasn’t good every since you hired him, but you guys didn’t want to hear it.

Losing a game you should easily win? Classic Gus Malzahn.

Still dumbfounded by Gus Malzahn calling a pass play when all you need to do is run three times and kick a FG. But I’ll take it ALL THE WAY TO THE HOOOUSE!!!!
