There is a noticeable swagger UCF football players are sporting this season that signals a clear departure from 2015.
Even before the season started, offensive lineman Aaron Evans predicted the team was capable of winning at least eight games. Twin brothers Shaquill and Shaquem Griffin debuted a new celebration dance during the team's season opener earlier this season. And even off the field, players are showing off their personalities through new hairstyles and accessories like the gold grill quarterback Justin Holman wore after UCF's 47-29 road victory over East Carolina Saturday.
UCF players are sending a message that this isn't the same program that lost 45-31 to Tulane last year.
