UCF Overcomes Navy for Best Start in Program History

The #20 UCF Knights (6-0, 4-0 American Athletic Conference) endured their first tough - and sloppy - game of the season but prevailed 31-21 over the Navy Midshipmen (5-2, 3-2). The victory is hugely significant for the Knights, who now have matched their win total from last year. And at 6-0, this is the best ever start for UCF football. The Knights’ victory also wrecked a streak for Navy, which had won 17 regular season home games in a row.

Though the Knights never trailed, the game was tight throughout.

In the first half, UCF blew numerous opportunities.
