UCF 37 – East Carolina 10 the 21.0 spread was covered
Regular Season AAC Match-up
UCF was able to force 5 turnovers in their rout of East Carolina, even without their Heisman hopeful quarterback, McKenzie Milton. Milton sat out in full uniform and could have gone in if needed but was given the game to rest and hopefully help his overall health.
The Knights from Central Florida were led in every statistic except the score and penalty yards. UCF lost a total of 120 yards on 14 penalties. But still the Knights persevered for the win.
The one statistic that helped UCF were the 5 turnovers. They forced the East Carolina Knights to fumble 4 times and intercepted one pass. No one can stay in a game if you give the ball up 5 times.
UCF has a bye week for 10/27/18
