Live score updates: UCF Knights take on East Carolina Pirates in American matchup
UCF is the only team in the country to surpass 600 yards of total offense on three separate occasions, most recently in its 70-13 demolition of Temple last Thursday. That win, a fourth in a row and one on national television, helped the Knights receive votes in both the AP poll and the USA TODAY AFCA Coaches Poll.
East Carolina, led by fifth-year starting quarterback Holton Ahlers, pulled off an emotional four-overtime home win last weekend against Memphis. The Pirates (4-3, 2-2) dug out of a 17-0 hole to win 47-45.
John Rhys Plumlee captured Offensive Player of the Week honors in the American after matching a UCF single-game quarterback record and accounting for seven total touchdowns (four passing, three rushing). UCF still leads the country in red zone defense as well, allowing just five touchdowns in 21 opponent trips inside the 20-yard line.
