Let's take a peek at the UCF record book and see where the 2017 UCF offense stacks up against historic Knights teams of the past through the first four games, shall we?
A little note: UCF has played four games this year, so for the sake of mathematical simplicity, I'm extrapolating the season totals to 12 games, which of course would include UCF's 11 regular season games (the Georgia Tech game was canceled) plus one post-season game, ostensibly a bowl game. Obviously, if UCF makes the American Athletic Conference Championship Game, that would be 13 games, and some more of those total yardage or TD records could fall. So just bear with me here.
One more note: UCF didn't play the fourth quarter against Cincinnati this past weekend, so any way you look at it, we're down 1.25 games this season.
