UCF climbed to 28–1 since 2017 with a blowout win over Stanford on Saturday, and while the visiting Cardinal traveled south and are now 1–2, the matchup illustrated a key point in the college football landscape: The Knights are here to stay.
Don’t be surprised if UCF rips through another regular season undefeated in 2019, even with road battles at Cincinnati and at Temple on the horizon. Quarterback Dillon Gabriel has been a perfect replacement for McKenzie Milton with nine touchdowns and zero interceptions through three games, and the Knights are holding opponents to 13.7 points per game.
