The UCF Knights have accepted an invitation to the RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl and will likely face an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent on Dec. 22 at 7 p.m.
UCF Athletics said tickets for the game are not currently on sale to the public, and a limited public sale is expected at a later date with pandemic protocols in place.
The game has been approved for 20% stadium capacity, or 6,000 individuals. FAU Stadium’s full capacity is 30,000, according to FAU’s website.
UCF said donors and season-ticket holders will receive information Wednesday morning from the UCF Ticket Office.
“We’re excited to continue our season in the Boca Raton Bowl — a great location for our fans and families to see us play,” UCF Director of Athletics Danny White said. “Our football team in 2020 has been one of the most exciting to watch in the country, and the fact we will be playing in the postseason for a fifth consecutive year speaks to the consistency of our program.”
UCF currently ranks second in the nation in both total offense — with 585.6 yards per game — and passing — 373.0 yards — while scoring at a 44.3-point-per-game pace. Both the total offense and passing yard figures are on track to be all-time UCF high, UCF Athletics said in a release.
“Our players and staff are excited to be in this bowl game,” UCF head coach Josh Heupel said. “It gives our guys one more time to play together and gives us one more chance to go 1-0. We’ve done a lot of good things this year, and we look forward to this next opportunity.”
