ORLANDO, Fla. -- For No. 15 UCF to ultimately get where it wanted to go it had to get past nemesis USF, the team it had replaced as the favorites in the American Athletic Conference.
It took every last second to do that.
The in-state rivals played an incredible back-and-forth that ultimately came down to the final series because that was the only appropriate ending after what they showcased on Friday night.
Let's just take the fourth quarter as our sample. USF entered with the lead. UCF then scored consecutive touchdowns to take an eight-point lead.
