Fresh off the news that UCF(1-0) and FIU(0-1) have extended their series through the 2016 season, the Panthers will be hosting the Knights in Miami Friday at 8:00 p.m. on CBS Sports Network.
This is the third game in a four-game series in which the home team has won each of the first two. The Knights look to buck that trend tonight and avenge a 17-10 loss in Miami during the 2011 season that ended their early bid at a perfect season.

UCF is coming off a strong showing in their home opener against the Akron Zips where Junior Blake Bortles threw for a career high 314 yards and 3 touchdowns.
FIU lost its first game on the road against Maryland where the Terps handled the Panthers 43-10.
This will be the start of a two-game road trip for the Knights concluding in State College, Pennsylvania, for a meeting with the Penn State Nittany Lions next Saturday.
