UCF's two-year winning streak came to an end against LSU in the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl; but the Knights still showed the mettle that delivered a pair of memorable seasons GLENDALE, Ariz.— UCF had set the gold standard for American Athletic Conference football by winning 25 consecutive games over the course of two seasons. But nothing lasts forever. SEC powerhouse LSU finally punched a hole in the Knights’ fairy tale run Tuesday, defeating UCF, 40-32, in the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl at State Farm Stadium. The great debate over whether the Knights (12-1) belonged in the College Football Playoff temporarily evaporated after quarterback Joe Burrow, a graduate transfer from Ohio State, threw for 394 yards and four touchdowns.
