UCF 21 Marshall 20 Late 4th Quarter Comeback and Celebration

In what will go down as one of the most exciting finishes in my 4 years at UCF, Knights prevail once again over the Herd 21-20. The Knights played 30-plus minutes of atrocious football only to see the hard work of Bruce Miller finally pay off as he stripped the ball from Marshall in the final minutes. We'd see a nailbiting drive by QB Brett Hodges which culminated in a wide open Rocky Ross TD reception. Nick Cattoi would drill the extra point where madness officially ensued with the 1500 diehard students remaining in the student section be rewarded for sticking around 'til midnight. Atrocious attendance for an ESPN Sunday Nighter that had nothing else going on but the World Series (AND I'M A PHILS FAN AND I SHOWED UP). Either get on board or don't keep hopping on and off the bandwagon. Knights will play #2 Texas in Austin. The early spread has the Longhorns favored by 36 points.

I was at the game, over in the east stands on about the 40 yard line. There was no way I was going to sit down in the endzone with you crazies! 8-) - I love the name - Bounce House! I graduated from FTU/UCF over 30 years ago, and this was my very first UCF game I have been to. Glad I stayed for the entire game, one of the best finishes I have ever seen. Would love see see UCF knock off Texas this weekend.

GO KNIGHTS!

Glad to have a dedicated alumni.

You can think Marshall's former coach Mark Snyder for showing off his lack of coaching skills to leave that reciever wide open!

By the end of the game, most people went home because they thought the game was over. Too bad for them. They missed an amazing finish!
