LSU became the one to break UCF’s 25-game winning streak, holding off the Knights for a 40-32 win that proved to be one of the more insane games of the bowl season.
Jacoby Stevens intercepted Darriel Mack near midfield off a tipped ball that allowed the Tigers to kneel the clock out. Central Florida had found a way to get a touchdown and two-point to cut a late LSU lead to eight with just over two minutes left in the game. Foster Moreau was able to recover an onside kick that got a spectacular UCF bounce, but the offense failed to get the first down and run the clock out, punting it down inside the 15.
