UCF 18 SCSU 0
Shaquill Griffin joined his twin brother in the turnover frenzy in the second half, intercepting a ball at the UCF 11 yard line early in the third quarter, but the Knights would squander the opportunity with a fumble of their own.

Justin Holman was able to connect with Tre’Quan Smith as the third quarter expired for a 37 yards score, followed closely by an ill-fated two point conversion attempt.
UCF 31 SCSU 0
