Miami has a flair for the dramatics while Syracuse is riding high on perhaps its biggest program win . Saturday's mid-afternoon battle could shape up to be an exciting finish.
More as we get set to take on Navy — UCF Football (@UCF_Football) Meanwhile, the Knights continue to score in bunches. UCF's lowest output of the year was a measly 38 against Maryland, while its season highmark came last weekend in a 63-21 rout against East Carolina. Quarterback Milton McKenzie is completing 70 percent of his passes this year and is complemented by six rushers with at least 100 yards on the year. UCF has no shortage of offensive weapons. It'll be interesting to see how the result when these two different offenses collide. Will Navy's triple option dictate the pace of the game and keep UCF's explosive unit off the field? Or will UCF's firepower and stingy defense barrel through yet another opponent?
