Salute to Seniors: This is the final career game for 20 UCF seniors: Thomas Andrews, Bobby Brewin, Ryan Flinn, Jimmy Fryzel, Doug Gabriel, Ivery Gaskins, Sean Gaudion, Brian Huff, Mario Jackson, Mike Mabry, Garrett McCray, Britt McGriff, Johnovan Morgan, Elton Patterson, Chris Pilinko, Taylor Robertson, Nick Rosinski, Asante Samuel, Josh Taylor, and Carlos Thompson. Three players (Jackson, McCray, Rosinski) will not be able to participate because of injury. Another senior, Jake McKibben, was unable to play all year because of injury.

Season Finales: UCF has an all-time record of 12-11 in the final game of the year. Of those games, UCF is 12-6 at home. UCF has never won a road game to finish the season, going 0-5. The Golden Knights will not have the opportunity to reverse that trend this year because UCF will finish the season at home for the 19th time in 24 years.


Sunshine State Seconds: This is the second trip to Florida for the Bobcats this year. Ohio played the Florida Gators Sept. 14. The Bobcats put up a fight, trailing 14-6 heading into the third quarter, before Florida pulled out the 34-6 victory. Ohio took an early lead on a 48-yard Kevin Kerr field goal after the Bobcats picked off Florida quarterback Rex Grossman’s first pass attempt. The game was delayed 46 minutes because of a lightning storm that moved through the area shortly after kickoff.

Third Time’s a Charm: This the third week in a row UCF has faced a team from the state of Ohio. UCF has an all-time record of 11-6 against teams from the Buckeye state, including last week’s win against Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
