UCF defeated FAU 48-14. The game never felt close. In the first quarter it was apparent that the Owls would follow the same script they produced against Ohio State.
Start slow, put up a fight, then get worn down and overwhelmed by UCF’s athleticism and speed toward the end. The Knights scored the game’s first 21 points with true freshman Dillon Gabriel starting at QB. Their game plan was pretty conservative, but with the amount of depth UCF has at running back they could have had you at QB and would have been fine.
The Knights rushed for 312 yards.
