UCF finished off Houston, holding on to win 37-32 and put an end to Houston’s case as an elite team, and most likely Case Keenum’s Heisman candidacy, even though he threw for 377 yards and three TDs.
George O’Leary’s Knights forced three turnovers and got a big day out of running back Brynn Harvey, who rumbled for 139 yards on 35 carries and three TD runs.
This could be the kind of win that saves O’Leary, UCF’s only coach since the program’s resurrection. O’Leary has been on the hot seat the past two seasons.
