ORLANDO, Fla. – On Saturday No. 10 ranked UCF defeated Memphis in a nail-biting 31-30 win.
At one point in the first half, the Knights held a 16-point deficit, making it the first time they have trailed by more than 3 points this season.
The Knights quickly made adjustments in the second half by preventing the Tigers from scoring a single point.
The game came down to the last few seconds.
The Tigers were in field goal range, when the referee called a false start penalty on the offense.
That penalty cost Memphis 5 yards and a 10-second runoff on the clock.
On the next play the Tigers completed a pass, but the clock ran down before they could put a field goal kick into play.
Even though UCF overcame all adversities in Memphis, the rankings showed otherwise.
UCF did not move in either poll -- staying No. 10 in the AP Poll and No. 9 in the Coaches Poll.
