UCF at USF: TV, Start Time, Odds & More
Two days from the UCF Knights traveling to play the USF Bulls. It’s the last in a series that may be interrupted for quite some time. It’s also a chance for UCF to make a run at the American Athletic Conference title game, as well as move up the College Football Playoff Poll and stay in the hunt for a New Year’s Six bowl game.
Here's a look at all the gameday information for when the Knights travel to Orlando to play the Bulls.
Series History
USF started fast in this series, winning four in a row out of the gate. That was from 2005-2008. Since then, UCF turned the tables and has won seven of the last nine, including five in a row from 2017 through 2021. Overall, UCF leads the series seven to six.
There have been many memorable contests between the two schools. The best one has been and will continue to be debated. The 2017 contest did have the highest potential for consequences. If USF would have upset the Knights, everything that went with the undefeated season would have been for naught.
The 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Mike Hughes was of course the final tally that gave UCF the 49-42 win. It’s one of the coolest moments in Bounce House history. At that point, quarterback McKenzie Milton and the Knights were War on I-4 champs, and it started the five-year streak of the Knights beating the Bulls.
