The University of Central Florida was firing on all cylinders Thursday night against the UConn Huskies in the season opener.
The Otis Anderson, McKenzie Milton, and Gave Davis trio drove the Knights downfield at a pace of two touchdowns a quarter.
UConn quarterback David Pindell made Defensive Coordinator Randy Shannon work to hold the Huskies to two touchdowns. Pindell had hot streak rushing plays that moved the drive, however, inconsistency prevented those plays from turning into points on the board.
The Knights held their first few scoring drives to under one minute thirty seconds, exactly what UCF Athletics envisioned for their 2018 season under new head coach Josh Heupel.
Second string quarterback Darriel Mack scored his first career touchdown as a QB in the fourth quarter as relief for Milton. Mack made an explosive 70-yard touchdown run to make it an 8-touchdown game.
UCF plays at Spectrum Stadium Saturday, September 8 at 6 p.m. EST.
