This past weekend, UCF head coach George O’Leary and UCF Athletic Director Todd Stansbury flew to Ireland to make the UCF-Penn State game official.
The Croke Park Classic, as the game is being called, will take place at 8:30 a.m. ET Saturday, Aug, 30, 2014, in Dublin, Ireland, and will air on ESPN2. UCF just recently released information which you can see here.
Not only will this game give UCF exposure on national television, it will give UCF international exposure, something that the program has yet to see. With the move to the American Athletic Conference and budding conference rivalry with USF, it’s hard to imagine how this could not be helpful for the program.
