KNIGHT NOTES

■ It’s a program-record seventh consecutive postseason bowl appearance for the Knights, the 10th in 11 seasons and the 14th in 18 years.

UCF also previously played in the NCAA Division II playoffs in 1987 and in the NCAA FCS Playoffs in 1990 and 1993.

■ UCF is looking for its seventh bowl win in program history and second consecutive after the Knights defeated Florida in the Gasparilla Bowl.

A win against the Blue Devils would give UCF a bowl win in consecutive years for just the second time (2012-13).
