This is the premier rivalry which defined the pinnacle of AAC football over the past half-decade. Three consecutive AAC titles and New Year’s Six appearances were collected by the Knights and Tigers from 2017-19. A series heavily dominated by UCF finally swung in Memphis’ favor last October when the Tigers stormed back from 21 down to secure a 50-49 victory. That matchup featured 798 yards of offense from UCF and 701 from Memphis and the rivals combined for 75 first downs in the exhilarating showcase. When these programs clash on the gridiron, shootouts are the expected result. Three of the last four meetings have featured 97 or more combined points, including the 2017 and 2018 AAC Championship Games.
