Blake Bortles’ sophomore season looks promising, based on last night’s performance.

The UCF alumnnus and now Jacksonville Jaguars’ starting QB threw 15 passes last night against the Pittsburgh Steelers, 11 of which were caught. Bortles racked up a total of 118 passing yards on those 11 completions and rushed for touchdown in which he dove across the goal line.

Bortles wasn’t the only UCF alumnnus to play in the Jaguars’ preseason opener last night.

Storm Johnson, former UCF running back, had 7 carries for 16 yards.

Together the former UCF Knights took the down the Pittsburg Stealers 23-21.

Bortles and the Jaguars are scheduled to play their next preseason game against the New York Giants on August 22 at 7:30 EST.
