The UCF Knights (4-2; 2-0 C-USA) narrowly defeated the Golden Eagles of Southern Miss (0-5; 0-2 C-USA) Saturday night in front of 34,000 fans at Bright House Networks Stadium on the UCF campus. Although the Golden Eagles were winless, they have faced a series of ranked out-of-conference teams and were 3-0 against the Knights in their home campus and 1-6 against the Knights all-time, making them a formidable opponent. The win didn’t come easy. The game went into over time twice; and UCF won after Southern Miss’ QB threw an interception on the Golden Eagles’ second OT drive, effectively ending the game. The Knights next game is this Saturday. UCF will venture into Memphis to take on the Tigers (1-5; 1-1 C-USA). The game will be regionally televised on College Sports Station.
