The Knights, fresh off a College GameDay visit and unanimous pick by the ESPN hosts, dominated the rising Cincinnati Bearcats 38-13 to become AAC East Division Champions.
Spectrum stadium recorded its second-largest crowd ever at 47,795 – nearly every fan stayed through the start of the first quarter and the gameday atmosphere was one of the best ever for UCF.
When the Knights were called to the national stage – an ABC primetime broadcast and College GameDay visit – they answered by shutting down the Cincinnati offense for three straight quarters and stomping the defense game in and game out.
A rocky start for both teams, UCF especially with a sack, fumble, and touchdown recovery in their own end zone, and Cincinnati with a missed extra point, and early mistakes of their own evened out to allow the Knights a clear path to victory.
Stay tuned for the full game story.
