No. 25 UCF routs Cincinnati 51-23 in rain-shortened game

CINCINNATI -- McKenzie Milton threw a career-high five touchdown passes -- four in the first half -- and Tre'Quan Smith scored four times to help No. 25 UCF roll to a storm-shortened 51-23 victory over Cincinnati on Saturday night in the Knights' first game as a ranked team since 2013.

UCF (4-0, 2-0 American Athletic) has opened with four wins for the first time since 1988, when the Knights were in Division II. They failed to win a game two years ago, and went 6-7 in coach Scott Frost's first year.

And now, the turnaround is complete.
