Finally. UCF got its first win since Hail Perriman, a 38-0 shutout victory over South Carolina State. It's Scott Frost's first win as head coach in his very first game, and it's The Knights' first home shutout in five years.
Here's the box score and a video recap from UCF:
In lieu of re-writing the same stuff all over again, and to allow us a night to collect our thoughts for our Sunday Morning Quarterback column, here's what I call a TweetCap - A recap of the game using tweets as they happened:

Holman looks one beat too slow in making his read and throwing. #UCF
— Black & Gold Banneret (@UCF_Banneret) September 3, 2016
Holman still reminds me so much of Randall Cunningham. Super mobile and strong-armed but he winds up to throw like a pitcher. #UCF

Bearded Manny Messeguer is the best Manny Messeguer. #UCF

Joey Connors forces AND lands on it! #UCF ball at the SCSU 23! #UCFierce
Whoa. Patti looks a lot more on the ball here. Quick with the ball. #UCF

UCF’s defense needs to force turnovers this year, being that they’ll be out on the field A LOT. There’s #1 on the year. #UCF

Stating the obvious here, but we need a TD real bad. #UCF

Shaquem Griffin with the strip, Pittman with the recovery! #UCFierce pic.twitter.com/PbGUxSNsST
Holman completes his fifth pass of the game, he still less yards passing than Nick Patti, who only has two attempts. #UCF #Knights

Halftime: UCF 18, South Carolina State 0
Bummer end to the first half. Wanted more. But I’ll take 18-0 at the half. #UCF

PS: I think we’re going to look like this a lot this year. Spotty on offense. Lots to figure out still. #TrustTheProcess #UCF

SHAQ ATTACK!

Hey SC State QB: Quit jawing. We’re coming off 0-12 and you’re getting your behind kicked. Don’t make us more mad than we already are. #UCF

TOUCHDOWN TRE'QUAN!!

Can’t do much better than a shutout in your first game as a head coach. Congrats @coach_frost and here’s to many more! #ChargeOn

That’s it. We’re off the schneid. 38-0. First home shutout in five years. And I don’t care that it was against an FCS opponent. #UCF

Just a heads-up: @UCF_Football’s last shutout was at @USFFootball in 2014 (16-0). #UCF

Also, @UCF_Football’s last shutout by this much: 2013 at @FIUFootball (38-0). #UCF
— Jeff Sharon (@Jeff_Sharon) September 4, 2016
And for good measure: @UCF_Football’s last HOME shutout was in 2011 - 41-0 vs. @MemphisFB. #UCF #ChargeOn
