Around the AAC: A rough first week for The American

Although UH football won in Week 1 of the 2022 season, many of its fellow American Athletic Conference members were not as successful. With the season officially underway, here is a look at how teams in the AAC fared in Week 1.

UCF vs. South Carolina State

UCF’s 2022 campaign got off to a strong start against South Carolina State, with the Knights dominating the Bulldogs in a 56-10 blowout.

The Knights got to work early in the season opener, jumping out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter thanks to three straight scores from senior quarterback John Rhys Plumlee, who found the end zone twice through the air and again on the ground in the first quarter alone.
