CINCINNATI -- McKenzie Milton threw a career-high five touchdown passes -- four in the first half -- and Tre'Quan Smith scored four times Saturday night as No. 25 UCF rolled to a storm-shortened 51-23 victory over Cincinnati in the Knights' first game as a ranked team since 2013.
UCF (4-0, 2-0 American Athletic) has opened the season with four wins for the first time since 1988, when the Knights were in Division II. They failed to win a game two years ago, and then went 6-7 in coach Scott Frost's first year.
Storms moved in with 4 seconds left in the third quarter and the game was called after a one-hour delay with more rain on the way.
