WAR ON I-4: No. 22 UCF Knights Travel to Tampa to Take on USF Bulls in Heated Rivalry Matchup
By UCF Knights // November 26, 2022
TAMPA, FLORIDA (UCF Knights) – The 22nd-ranked UCF football team will close out its regular-season slate on Saturday at South Florida for the War On I-4. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. from Raymond James Stadium and the game will air live on ESPN2.
The teams are located less than 100 miles apart off of Interstate-4 and Saturday’s matchup will have an added sense of anticipation, as UCF and USF have met on the field in each of the last 10 years.
With the Knights move to the Big 12 Conference next season, the rivalry game will likely not be played as often.
