UCF’s defense jumped all over Tulane and embarrassed quarterback Glen Cuiellette en route to a 37-6 win in Orlando. UCF’s sometimes sputtering offense proved nearly irrelevant – even one of the touchdowns scored by the Knights’ secondary would have been enough to secure the win.
Things started slow for UCF. Freshman running back Adrian Killins fumbled on the first play from scrimmage, and Tulane running back Dontrell Hilliard capped the ensuing Green Wave drive with a fourteen yard touchdown run. It turned out that this would be the only points Tulane could score – even the extra point was blocked.
