UCF starting center Matt Lee tried to give it a go last week at Louisville, but ultimately did not play against the Cardinals due to an ankle injury.

“It was a game time decision,” coach Gus Malzahn said. “He tried to warm up and couldn’t go. It broke his heart. He was crying in the locker room. I told him I really appreciate him even trying. Most guys wouldn’t.”

Left guard Cole Schneider replaced Lee, with Adrian Medley filling in for Schneider along the offensive line. Although it was the first time of his career starting at center, Schneider delivered.
