Shaquem, Shaquill Griffin shine for UCF, don't let disability hold them back

Shaquill Griffin had a premonition about his interception against South Carolina State before the University of Central Florida's season opener Saturday.

Before the game, he said he dreamed about tipping the ball and then snatching it back for the pick to create an ESPN-worthy highlight, a moment he actually shared with a teammate during the Knights' 38-0 rout of South Carolina State. But Griffin, a senior cornerback, didn't foresee the last part of the play.

After collecting his interception, his long, blonde-tipped dreadlocks bounced as he danced and shoulder-shimmied alongside his identical twin brother, Shaquem.
