“Well, obviously it was a great win for UCF, the fan base,” UCF Head Coach George O’leary said. “Everybody came out from Orlando. I thought the kids went out and executed what they were coached all week and back on campus. I think defensively didn’t stop them but slowed them down enough so our offense could put points on the board. I thought the offense went out and executed very well pretty much the entire game.”
The Knights were led by Junior QB Blake Bortles who threw for 301 yards and had 3 touchdowns and had 93 yards rushing and a rushing touchdown.
“Leaving a legacy is really nothing you have any control over yourself,” UCF QB Blake Bortles said. “It’s about each week going out and preparing and getting the job done. Like coach said, it’s a ‘we’ thing, not a ‘me’ thing. Building chemistry on and off the field is what we strive on. Hopefully that will be my legacy at the end, He was a big team guy, he played well with other people and he was part of a successful team.”
