Luke Fickell's first Cincinnati football signature win ended No. 18 UCF's 19-game AAC winning streak Friday night in front of a sold-out Nippert Stadium.
Fittingly, the Bearcats' defense led the way in the 27-24 victory.
UC (4-1, 1-0) held the Knights' high-powered offense to just seven points in the second half and forced four turnovers in front of a frenzied crowd of 40,000 that included the most student tickets ever distributed for a Bearcats' home game.
