The UCF athletic department apologized for making an "unintended reference" on social media Thursday during the Golden Knights 56-6 win over Kent State.
During UCF's dominant win, its social media team posted a photo of quarterback John Rhys Plumlee on the phone while on the sidelines, with the caption "SOMEONE CALL THE NATIONAL GUARD.”
While the post was in reference of NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe's infamous moment in 1996 when the Denver Broncos were dominating the New England Patriots − and he pretended to call the president to send in the National Guard − it was also an ill-timed tweet considering who the opponent was.
