Game Thread: FAMU at UCF [7:30pm ET; CBSSN]

[Kace-1]

2 teams with National hopes, but for different reasons meet up tonight in Orlando to start their respective seasons.

The FAMU Rattlers went 6-5 last year and this year they want more. They want the MEAC Championship which would mean a trip to the Celebration Bowl and a shot at the HBCU National Championship.

The UCF Knights went 12-0 last year before losing their season finale against LSU in the Fiesta Bowl, their first loss since the 2016 campaign. This year, they continue looking to be part of the Chosen 4 conversation. That means not tripping up at home against the Rattlers.

The game kicks off in less than an hour.

 

[Kace-1]

Brandon Wimbush, formerly of Notre Dame will start at QB for the Knights.

The Rattlers are in orange hats with white shirts and pant. UCF's in white hats with black shirts and pants. We're underway in Orlando.

Shouldn’t they wear helmets?

 

[Kace-1]

Touchdown Knights. 13:33 to go in the 1st and the P1 makes it 7-0 UCF.

 

[cclxxxvdicere]

They both have the same chance of making the CFP.

 

[Kace-1]

FAMU has a great punter if nothing else.

 

[thunderc]

So I guess there are no rules against game threads on games with division 2 teams.

 

[OregonDucks]

Wow. Top notch field paint work. That is crisp.

 

[Kace-1]

UCF now leads 10-0 after the field goal, still in the 1st.

 

[Kace-1]

The Knights score a touchdown and p1 and it's 17-0 UCF in the 1st.

 

[Kace-1]

1 quarter done in Orlando and UCF has the 17-0 lead.

 

[Kace-1]

UCF adds a field goal and it's 20-0 Knights in the 2nd.

 

[Kace-1]

The Knights score a touchdown with the p1 and it's 27-0 UCF in the 2nd.

 

[steelerssb]

The score is irrelevant as UCF is getting out-hit

 

[Kace-1]

UCF has sent in their backup QB, up 27.

 

[Kace-1]

Touchdown Knights. I'm starting to like UCF's chances of winning this one. 8:02 to go in the 2nd. The P1 is good and it's 34-0 Central Florida.

 

[theboardref]

Good to see UCF challenging themselves this season.

 

[Kace-1]

The Knights score another touchdown with the p1 and with 3:37 to go in the half it's 41-0 UCF.

 

[Kace-1]

The Knights go for it on 4th and Goal with 2 seconds left in the half and score the touchdown. Well, I guess they wannna be sure.
