ORLANDO, Fla. – Last year, Gus Malzahn presided over a spring football game where across the back of his UCF players’ jerseys were not their names but their handles on Twitter.
This year, the Golden Knights have upped their game.
When they kick off the spring game Saturday, the back of their jerseys will feature something else unique to college sports but ever-present in our daily lives: QR codes. Instead of a player’s roster number, the back of jerseys will feature a giant QR code that, when scanned, will link to that player’s bio page on the UCF athletics website.
