School is back in session, and with it comes a brand new season of college football. While last season’s defensive woes and ultimately bowl-less season are blocked off in most Tech fans’ minds, one storyline from last season remains relevant: the cancelled University of Central Florida game.
Last September, the Jackets were scheduled to travel down to Orlando, Florida to take on the UCF Knights in what was then a highly anticipated matchup. Unfortunately, Hurricane Irma hit the Caribbean and southeastern United States the week the Jackets were scheduled to play, affecting the UCF campus. As a result, after much deliberation about potential alternatives to playing in Orlando such as moving the game to Bobby Dodd Stadium or postponing the game to later in the season, the match was indefinitely postponed.
