I'd really like to get home that evening if at all possible. The UA ticket is only $89 so I'm not too worried about the cost, rather how serious I should be about having a backup hotel planned.
Assuming your inbound is on time, this should be very doable. I've gotten from my seat on an inbound LH flight to connecting UA gate in 10 minutes at SFO (with GE and TSA PreCheck). I don't think that my legs ever stopped moving during that time .
