The UCF offense is now in Pete DiNovo’s hands.
After practice on Sunday, UCF head coach George O’Leary informed the media that if the Penn State game were to take place tomorrow, DiNovo would start.
DiNovo, a redshirt freshman from Tarpon Springs (Fla.) East Lake was named the Offensive Scout Team Player of the Year this past season for the Knights. DiNovo is also Pinellas County’s all-time leader passer with 6,733 yards during his high school career.
He is a little bit smaller than his predecessor, Blake Bortles, at 6’2″ 205 pounds.
DiNovo is now ahead on the depth chart of Justin Holman, the sophomore and only UCF quarterback with in-game experience, true freshman Tyler Harris and transfer Nick Patti.
