UCF is off to its best six-game start to a season since what year?

Scroll on down to the bottom of this email for the answer!

🔼 Get the Facts. The football team plays its final non-conference game of the season on Saturday against Georgia State. Through two games, UCF's pass defense ranks third in the Big 12 and 29th in the nation. A win would give UCF at least two wins in its first three games for the 10th consecutive season (since 2016) and keep UCF atop the state of Florida in wins since 2017. The Knights have compiled 75 wins since 2017, which is tied for the most in the state of Florida and the third-most in the Big 12. UCF sits tied for 21st nationally over that span, which included a perfect 13-0 in 2017, 12 victories in 2018 and 10 in 2019.

Knight Nation knows how to bring the energy, and this year, we’re turning it up for UCF student-athletes. Your dedication, determination, and passion are what help to fuel our Knights in competition and in the classroom.

As a thank you for supporting our student-athletes, we’re offering an exclusive UCF Bluetooth speaker when you make a gift of $35 or more by September 25. It’s the perfect way to bring the energy of Zombie Nation and UCF Athletics wherever you go.

Turn it up, play it loud, and show your support for the Knights who make us proud. Make your gift today and help support UCF student-athletes.
