The University of Central Florida has achieved the impossible – a resurrection from 0-12 to 12-0 with one season separating the two.
One-by-one the Knights dominated their opponents. A 17-home game win streak at Navy, snapped. An undefeated home game streak on homecoming at SMU, stolen.

Wisconsin would fall later that Saturday to Ohio State in the Big 10 Championship game.
