The UCF Knights (9-3, 7-1) will take on the NC State Wolfpack (7-5, 3-5 ACC) in the Bitcoin St. Petersburg Bowl on Dec. 26 at 8 p.m.
It will be a common field for the Knights to play on, as they beat Ball State in the St. Pete Bowl in 2012 and lost to Rutgers in the bowl in 2009. The bowl is played annually at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla.
UCF’s match-up, the ACC’s North Carolina State Wolfpack, have shown signs of promise this season, but have five losses on the season to Florida State, Clemson, Boston College, Louisville and Georgia Tech.
UCF beat NC State on the road in 2007, but the Wolfpack came to Orlando in 2010 and beat the Knights.
