In the moments following UCF’s 58-46 win over rival USF Friday night, Knights players and coaches gathered midfield at Raymond James Stadium to pose for a celebratory photo with the War on I-4 trophy.
There were smiles abound as the team rejoiced knowing the trophy would spend another year in the UCF football facilities.
UCF (6-3, 5-3 AAC) scored 28 consecutive points on its way to another double-digit halftime lead but the defense couldn’t close out the game, allowing USF 32 second-half points. But unlike their games against Tulsa, Memphis or Cincinnati, the Knights found a way to put finish.
