UCF players cope with devastating loss to East Carolina
All Thomas Niles could do was shake his head in disbelief at how the UCF football team dramatically regressed during a 44-7 blowout loss to East Carolina.
The Knights (0-11 overall, 0-7 American Athletic Conference) took a step in the right direction against Tulsa Nov. 7, putting up 30 points. It was only the second time all season the team posted more than 30 points.
And after 10 consecutive weeks of games, players and coaches got much-needed rest just in time to gear up to face struggling East Carolina during a prime-time Thursday game on ESPN.
UCF players were looking for a break-out moment during a disastrous season and instead suffered another breakdown.
