UCF Knights Football

Under normal circumstances, UCF Football would have just completed spring practices and put on its spring game last Saturday.

There are plenty of changes for the Knights, both on the roster and on the coaching staff, meaning there is a lot to follow over the next six weeks before the spring game on April 4.
