The UCF athletics department, players and media have been in Arizona getting prepared for UCF’s first BCS bowl game against Baylor since Dec. 26.
With less than 48 hours before kickoff, the Knights are making their final preparations before facing off the number one scoring offense in the nation in Baylor. On Tuesday, UCF head coach George O’Leary will be holding his final press conference along with Baylor head coach Art Briles following after. UCF and Baylor will also be hosting a joint community service event at the St.Mary’s Food Bank Alliance after the press conferences.
O’Leary has taken on more responsibilities preparing for the Fiesta Bowl, since previous defensive coordinator Jim Fleming left for Rhode Island, O’Leary has been on the field coaching the defense up close and personal.
“I think sometimes a head coach is a very boring job on the practice field. I think anytime you can get involved in the coaching aspect of it, helping youngsters get a little better each day, I think that’s why you’re in the business,” O’Leary said in Sunday’s press conference.
KnightNews.com is in Arizona for the game and will be bringing constant updates leading up to the game and a full game recap afterward.
