Some Knights still seeking first TD
Just about everybody has gotten into the end zone for the UCF football team’s No. 1 scoring offense — even defensive lineman
But coaches and players still have a few names they’d like to see push through.

this season.
“We’re trying,” tight ends coach said of getting Franks in the end zone. “Last week, we had some things for him but didn’t get them called. Every week we try to figure out certain situations to get our guys touches when they need to.”
UCF’s offense has a great deal of depth and diversity. Allowing multiple players to get touches and opportunities to score is key to keeping players satisfied.
The No. 18 Knights are averaging 47.3 points per game, with last week’s 31-21 victory against Navy registering as their lowest output. UCF’s highest point total this season came against East Carolina when the team scored 63 points. Last season, the Knights averaged 28.8 points per game.
“I think guys know their assignments a little bit better,” said UCF quarterback “Knowing where they need to be and when they need to be there in both the run and pass game …so I think it’s just a combination of everybody just knowing their jobs a little bit better and executing a lot better.”
