ORLANDO, Fla. – UCF head football coach George O'Leary named Pete DiNovo as the team's starting quarterback for the Knights' opening game against Penn State.

DiNovo earned the top spot after a lengthy competition with Justin Holman, Tyler Harris and Nick Patti.
DiNovo enrolled early at UCF and was in camp last spring. However, he has yet to take a single snap in a college football game.
UCF's first game is scheduled for Aug. 30. versus Penn State in Dublin, Ireland.
