knocked williams right out of the heisman convo

still wasnt a terrible game tho on the ground for him. huge win

The play calling was just weird and has been. I don't know if the break is making me realize it more but CPU love calling screens and not pushing the ball down the field even though they had success doing so.

Central Florida Knights Upset South Florida Bulls in The War on I-4
It wasn't that long ago that the UCF Knights were the big brother in The War on I-4. Since Malcolm Francois took over, however, it's become less of a battle and more of a sparring session as the USF Bulls have become a college football powerhouse.

It was only fitting that a Malcolm Francois Jr. fumble would lead to the Knights 26-21 upset of the No. 2 ranked Bulls on Friday night.

Francois Jr. fumbled a punt return in the fourth quarter which led to a UCF field goal to extend their lead to six with 7:35 left in the game. On the ensuing possession, Heisman favorite Troy Henry fumbled the football, USF's fourth turnover of the game.

The fumble led to a touchdown and a 26-14 lead for the Knights with six minutes left in the game.

Henry would score on a screen pass to make it a five point game but the Golden Knights ran their four minute offense to perfection, killing the rest of the clock.

Carpenter Commits to UCF as Johnson, Robinson Confirm Commitment Date
Eddie Fernandez -- 247 Sports USF Insider

Three-star offensive lineman Victor Carpenter out of Jacksonville has committed to the UCF Golden Knights over the USF Bulls.

According to reports, Carpenter was advised by the USF staff to consider his options when he attempted to commit to the Bulls back in October. This led to Carpenter setting up an official visit to Orlando this past weekend where he was in attendance for UCF's upset over USF.

USF got some better news that cornerbacks Sid Robinson and Corey Johnson won't be committing until National Signing Day after releasing a top two Pitt and USF for Robinson and Indiana and the Bulls for Johnson. With a full two months and change, USF's coaching staff will be able to put together one of it's patented 11th-hour pushes to get the deal done with head coach Malcolm Francois likely being more involved in the process once the season is in the rearview mirror.

Henry Injured, McFarland Benched as Bulls Win Big 12 Championship vs. Kansas State
It wasn't the most impressive performance but after getting upset by bitter rival UCF, Malcolm Francois will take it.

Ricky Turner nailed five field goals -- three from over 50 yards -- as the Bulls defense dominated the Kansas State Wildcats en route to a 15-3 victory.

Heisman candidate Troy Henry left the game in the very first quarter with an apparent chest injury and did not return. Two interceptions later, USF quarterback Mike McFarland was benched for James Pittman.

With a new looking backfield, the Bulls offense only managed to put up 281 yards of total offense. It was still more than what Kansas State was able to accomplish as they converted just one third down the entire game.
