UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton led his team into last year's regular-season finale against USF the Friday after Thanksgiving on a 23-game winning streak, hoping to close out another undefeated season and clinch a second straight New Year's Six Bowl. But a devastating injury to his right leg in the second quarter changed everything. Milton, called "KZ" by friends, details the journey to recovery and what happens next, as told to ESPN's Andrea Adelson.
It's weird, thinking about it now. Before the game even started, I felt unsettled. During the game, too. I don't know why. I never have butterflies.
